I have a 2011 CMS ALL4 with Auto. When will you have a map for this application?

 

It usually takes a couple days. As soon as it's ready, I'll let you know.

 

We are working on the tunes for the 2011s, it'll be at least 4 months for those tunes.

 

This makes me sad.

Is it just 'cracking' the software at this point? Is the plan to release both auto and manual transmission versions at the same time? I love all your products and this is the icing on the cake I can't wait for.

 

We completely appreciate where you are coming from. Trust that we are not wanting to hold anything back from the 2011 Cooper S peeps!

 

Got mine today and gave me the same error. Downloaded the beta firmware and plugged it back again. Car was recognized and install complete. ALTA, thank you for such a smooth transaction!

 

Just a quick question regarding the maps- i read a thread about the distinctive "pop and burble" noise made by the ecu letting a little unburned fuel into the exhaust after one lets off the throttle. Do the alta maps make an effort to make some p&b?

 

Have you read any of this thread? Your question has been asked and answered many many times in it.

short answer : no.

 

Thanks for the short answer. And no need to be rude, i read some of this thread but its also 79 pages long. In the portion of the thread i did read i didnt come across my q.

 

Thanks!

 

Thanks chris! I actually dont have a MINI (yet) and was just curious as to whether or not the ap could get me the sound which i love so much. When i get my car and have an ap (first mod im doing) ill shoot you a pm.

 

Sounds good, thanks!

 

thats awesome.

 

Hey Chris. I'm interested. PM sent

 

I guess that I am confused. I thought that you guys have actively been working P&B? Are/Is there map(s) available?

 

There's one customer that has a PB map, and has been running it for a little while. There still are some problems that we've been working on though.

 

anything for eu version cars nowadays ?

 

Sorry, still no EU tune. It's not something that we are working on now, but could be a possibility in the future.

 

Loving the tune guys! patiently awaiting my intercooler, so I can try the FMIC stage 1 tune. Whats the difference in the 91 and then 92 octane tunes? Just some more boost? or are there some solid changes to the timing?

 

Rowdy,

The 91 and 92 tunes have different timing and boost mostly. But if you have to use 91 octane, you have to run a 91 octane map.

 

Two customers... The PB works pretty good, it's enjoyable and the car runs good. But like Chris said, there are a couple problems, all be it minor, that need some tweaking. I ran it for a couple weeks, and liked it, and good look past the problems, but they exist none the less.

 

Can you list out the problems you have? I want to get the PB map, so would like the minor issues you are having.

 

Please remember, the PB maps are prototype maps, and not something that we're sending out to everyone. If you guys want to talk about them, keep them to PMs please, thanks!

 

Jeff and CHris have been really cool helping me with maps and, tweaks and all, and I don't know if they would want me doing that. I'll send you a PM about it, but you need to be cool too and not post it on the forum.

 

I have a 2008 MCSA (Monty) that is pretty much bone-stock except for a JCW front strut bar and a K&N air filter. The AP really gave my car a kick in the pants (and I am running the 92 octane auto. tranny map). My seat o' the pants dyno felt like about a 20-25 whp increase coupled with about a 25+ torque boost, nicely situated in the center of the power band , 2500 - 4500 or so rpm. This is the kind of power that is really usable on a daily basis. Frankly, (or Tomly or Jimly) I am not impressesd by Honda-like power that requires one to spin the motah to 7,000 rpm in any gear in order to obtain impressive power figures...I REALLY like the fact that the Mini S motah already has 90% of your max torque before you hit 2,000 rpm!! Driven properly, it is damned hard to beat a Mini S outta the hole unless you just don't know Jacques-Sheet about how to launch a car from a dead stop.

I know a fairly well-regarded Comp. Eliminator tuner who once told me "Richard, folks buy HP, but they *drive* torque..." And I'll be damned if he ain't right...
