Ecu remapping

[Minikong]

hi chiongsters, any 1 have done any ecu remapping to you car before?

i am looking into remapping another 50 bhb for phase 1 any advice?

Yes, you can remap your ECU. Try shops like BVO and J4C.

You can do better than 50 bhp if your car is a turbo

your ride will be crappy

Actually, I still prefer the older MCS using the roots supercharger. The power delivery is linear and its 100% lag free. Power right at idle speed. Just change the pulley to get more boost and more power.

 

For Turbo, no matter what you use (twin scroll, tiny Turbos etc), there is still a slight lag (probably need around 1500-1700 to get usuable boost. Full boost won't kick in till at least 2K-2.5K RPM.

50HP.... I think its possible for MCS but the Turbo is going to get hot and you may need bigger intercooler and lower A/F ratio to prevent pinging.

 

Just dial up the boost to get more power.... ITs that easy....lol....Of course, there is a litmit.

Mine (SC) is the only one i think on DMS.. Not bad.. Talk to espace..

 

Frankly, i think that they are the best at everything when it comes to minis. Even my alignment is done by them. The only area that is not done by them is my paint work.

50hp can be done, as jcw stock is 225 hp already and it can still be tune.

jcw and mcs are using the same 1.6 litre twin scroll engine

My brakes are AP. IC is from M7. Dfic, i think. I never dyno my car. Initially, my stock JCW was good enough but backside itchy, so started modding. After a certain extend of mods, the power delivery wasn't smooth. So did the DMS tune. Everything nice and smooth after that. Went for a B road drive after that, and a certain 'cayman S' was very impressed with the car. So i think DMS works. Haha

 

What peter say is right. If it's a daily car, don't mod too much. Try not to pass the 250 hp mark for minis. Wear and tear higher plus after 250 hp, the mods become expensive but speaking from a SC point of view.

ya and that the problem of mini, it is a freaking small engine, that can play with cars like caymen, so backside also itchy.

i just change the whole bmc air box from peter, and althouht it cost like ridicules, but it is dman shiok hahaha

so thinking of doing the cheapest and more efficent mob, and that is the dms tune. agree with you, peter advice is solid and will not harm your car. not like other workshop just wanted to earn your money and know nuts about mini.

did u install super sprint exhaust? the sound was dman solid, but it is really pricely ley,

for the the mob i see on mini, all are chao chao 1ksgd lol.

 

bmc air box- $1k+

super sprint exhaust 4k+

dms tune - ???

ap racing brake - 4k+

what more?

My Exhaust is JCW. but got a bit of Milltek bit and pieces up front.. The milltek pieces is the one that gives the oomph. But that is not for forum talk if you know what i mean..

 

My old altis is on SS.. I rather you consider milltek but don't know whether approve or not.

waah serious? u spent a ss on an altis?

no la i not intreasted in illegal mobs, give u endless trouble only, i dont like loud exhaust like hks these all, super sprint give a gentle but soilid sound

[Shemmy]

For the older type, the holy grail is the cylinder head. But a proper job need 10 grand at least... I lack that final step.. But if i do that, i can't sell the car already.

 

BMS cost less than 2 k if im not wrong..

[Shemmy]

For AP, can consider buying from ST powered.

Hmm.... How about dumping the MCS engine and throw in a 2L TC engine? Afterall, the MCS is still a 1.6L SOHC, cannot be compared to DOHC when it comes to pure HP.

 

Btw, talking about engines, I did see a lotus with a BMW M42 engine inside (I bet it has been rebuilt and stroke up to a 2L). The entire body is CF (photos of of course, not real life). OMG, its a really head turner....

 

If I have a MCS, I will immediately rip out the engine and throw in a S14 engine...... If not M42 engine....

lol bro dont do illegal stuff la, like this might as well save the monney and i buy a bm 135 hohoho.

mini is not about pure hp also, it belong to luxurious car category with fun driving.

by the way if u did not notice, mini engine is the top winner for 4 straight year for engine from 1.4l to 1.8 l category.

they award the engine by these factor

 

* FC

* performance

* reliability

and others, that why it is so over priced, and lastly mini cooper s is a dohc engine

Sorry, my bad. I mixed up gen1 and gen2 engines. Only the gen1 'Tritec' engines are SOHC. The new 'Prince' engines used in gen2 are DOHCs.
