Drivetrain Burger Motorsports (BMS) Tune(s)

since these tunes are essentially OTS and every car is a little different, (some cars have a lower knock threshold than others and enjoy detonating) so using 1 step colder may be a good idea, but in my opinion, using 93 octane on the BMS tunes is a pretty good safe measure, I used only 93 even stock simply for piece of mind.
over in my subaru world people would frequently use the 91 octane stage 2 map but put in 93, because OTS maps still knock and sometimes bad depending on your particular car so they would use 93 as a safe measure. Thing is, through the accessport they can actually see if they're knocking, we can't see the raw data, only advance via gauges.
Us N18 guys just have the timing advance to go by, which in my opinion isn't exactly optimal in my opinion(but we're limited due to technology at the moment, understandable). reason being, timing advance can remain still for a while and not necessary retard, while detonating. but it can also do that if a constant linear increasing load isn't had for the entire gear pull. so it's really tough to gauge actually how much knock there is. a knock light would be awesome, perhaps a tester could use det cans to really see.
I remember reading in the owner's manual that the car can run on 89 octane and that even though light knocking can be heard (paraphrasing here), it will not affect longevity of the engine O.O
Yah, kinda like changing the engine oil every 15K and tranny oil never is fine :P

There are cases where you have unethical station owners but the pumps do get inspected by the State.

Hi guys,
On the JB+ our higher temperature enclosures and stickers finally came in. If you need one just email your address to orders@burgertuning.com with "MINI JB+ Enclosure Needed" in the subject.

I have been subscribed to this thread since the beginning! Getting very eager for this! Haha!! Any way there could possibly be 2 step, anti-lag, or no lift to shift features incorporated into this? That would be absolutely amazing if it was possible! I know that with the WOT box (i believe they are called) they have the capability to do that with just a piggy back system so to speak. Just wondering if there is any interest in this and if it could possibly become a reality! Thanks!!

I have had mine (2011 clubby a auto) installed for a few weeks and I don't get why the car didn't come this way. Good by torque/bump steer, hello safer and more fun driving!

So excited that I bumped into this thread! Any thoughts on the long term effects of the tune? How will the increased boost effect the N18, if any? Would there be early turbo failures or cylinder/ valve wear?
Also, for the CAN tool, will the MINI have shiftlight capabilities?

The JCW runs 19 psi stock (bigger turbo) with upgraded piston faces and cylinder sleeves, I believe, to handle 20+ psi boost when tuned. It also had a lower compression ratio than the S/GP2. AFAIK there aren't any JCW's testing the JB+ but time will tell on that promising platform.
The CAN does shift light on the dash (both blinkers) at an RPM you specify from 3k in 200 rpm increments IIRC.
