Jan RMW-Rochester,NY April 25-26

Update - Jan RMW - Rochester,NY April 25-26

Yes it's not a rumor anymore. Jan will be coming to Rochester, NY this April 25-26 for his tuning sessions. The event will be held at Eksten Autoworks
78 Bennington Drive, Rochester, NY. Jan has spoken to Larry Eksten and he has all Jan will need for tuning your MINI. Eksten is a full service garage that specializes in BMW-MINI service and track event car setups. They can handle Jan's head, cam, injector and exhaust installs. We may add a day if needed per Jan and Larry if the demand is there. If you need injectors or any other RMW parts please let Jan know. Performance parts such as heads etc will have to be installed in advance of tuning. This may be Jan's last tuning session of the season as he may be shifting more time to his product development and track events.

Please PM me all your info as what your needs are and if you'd like to schedule a tuning session.

Thanks Larry

List for Friday
9:00 a.m. - Newbs49 - Tune - TIME-OK
10:30 a.m. - the Itch - Tune - TIME-OK
12:00 p.m. - amg6975 - Tune-TIME-OK
1:30 p.m. - mangotango - Tune of the Monster RMW parts on car
3:00 p.m. - jonnieoh - Tune-TIME-OK
4:30 p.m. -

List for Saturday
9:00 a.m. - japavlo - Tune - TIME-OK
10:30 a.m. - robertgray- Tune
12:00 p.m. - Fei - tune
1:30 p.m. - DPCooperS - Tune- OK
3:00 p.m. - jaynicholson - tune
4:30 p.m - 04indimcs - injectors - Tune
I hope all these times are OK with everyone. People who have to travel from Canada I hope times are OK. If you are having injectors installed please be at least 3 hours early. The install takes a little over an hour to complete. Please make sure your car is ready to roll. If you haven't had a new belt put on in the last year I would get it replaced before you get to Ekstens or plan on coming early to have it replaced. If your belt starts slipping on the Dyno we go to the next person on the list. Ekstens will have belts on hand per Jan. This has been a common problem at other tune sessions.

Tune $350.00 to Jan-Rmw
Dyno Runs $85.00 to - Eksten Autoworks
Injector Install $85.00 - $100.00 Eksten

Injectors have been a problem. Jpavlo has posted some links for these. Please Please
get these ASAP. I may be able to get some but you'll be over $450.00. One set of 3 month old injectors will be available. Email me and I'll get you hooked up with the owner.

Please PM me with all the mods on you car so I can give Jan a list.

Even if you had no mods you would really benefit from this tune. Give Jan a call.

I am in.

I PM'd you, newbs49. Looking for a Friday slot, hopefully around 1:30 or 2:00, for tune and dyno.

Regarding the dyno, it would be cool to get a baseline run, then another run after the tune. Is that how Jan will do it? I would love to see the delta on just how much the tune alone is producing...

Looking forward to it!
