thedonva Posted September 30, 2010 Report Posted September 30, 2010 Perhaps I missed this but does anyone know where you can go to upgrade the chip in your Mini. I just bought a 2010 Clubman S and wanted to know who can tweak the chip and what the increase in HP is?

RichSperry Posted September 30, 2010 Report Posted September 30, 2010 Or Alta.... Since Jan, (RMW), is switching to the Cobb platform, (what Alta uses, and appearantly way better and versitle for the guys doing the tuning), tuner... whew... No matter where you go, there you are!
cmcveay Posted September 30, 2010 Report Posted September 30, 2010 I've got a tune from Jan at RMW and he is going to a different tuning tool but he's still supporting the DIMSPORT tool. If you aren't interested in changing your tune (custom to standard and such, it doesn't matter what tool they are using. A point of clarification though, there's been very little if ANY luck with "chips", Jan and Alta are actually installing new maps in the ECU, not just altering signals the way the "old" chip tunes were done. I'd encourage you to read up on both Alta and Jan's work on NAM as both have recent threads that go into great detail about the tunes. As far as gains in HP? Based on the before/after dyno results in april, I saw a gain of 21.99HP/12.9TQ gain. I've had a couple of updates to the tune since then that have "Probably" bumped those numbers up a bit. The biggest change is a bigger flatter curve and one of the recent updates remapped the throttle mapping so the throttle is more linear, easier to control and it makes the car feel like it's never going to stop pulling. There's supposed to be a new update in the next couple of weeks and I believe Jan is going to add the "Pop and Burble" of the JCW in the tune if you are interested in that as well. PM me if you've got other questions about tuning the 2nd Gen cars. 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold
RichSperry Posted October 2, 2010 Report Posted October 2, 2010 Did Jan's new tune get rid of the weird hesitation at 3000 ish rpm? No matter where you go, there you are!

RichSperry Posted October 4, 2010 Report Posted October 4, 2010 Was this for the Dimsport or the Alta? I haven't heard anything from Jan in over a week, and then he said soon. I'm seriously thinking of going back to the stock tune until then. No matter where you go, there you are!
