Drillslinger Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Hmm, an email might be in order then. PTuning was going to send it to their machine shop but.. what was a rough cost for the P&P? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBeest Posted February 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Think it was $1250. Check it out on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drillslinger Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Well, we bit the bullet and ordered a MegaMini stage 2 head. Gonna have the OE one rebuilt and if it's in good condition will try to find someone who needs one. Thanks for the help/advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBeest Posted February 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Awesome. Where are you getting the car ECU tuned once you install the new head? I'm contemplating installing bigger fuel injectors to go along with my new JCW head but now without a tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drillslinger Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 That's the beautiful thing about this stage 2, Chad assures me that even though the valves are bigger they're only slightly larger than std (+0.5mm Intake/+1.0mm Exhaust IIRC) so a tune is not necessary. Naturally, if we can get Jan over here in the Spring a tune would give me better gains but I shouldn't have any problems until then :motor: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBeest Posted February 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Cool. I'm in for contributing towards getting Jan over if we get a group big enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drillslinger Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Apparently we already had enough in another thread (http://dcmetrominis.org/forum/topic/2940-feeler-rmw-tuning-party/) but had problems getting it coordinated. Then Jan's Dad passed and I'm not sure if he's back to work yet or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
