I was told "it's a pain in the a**"

Oh well I guess lol

 

It's kinda just sad from my standpoint, the best in the business won't tune an N18. Shoot I'd even pay another $200 for his services on top of that.

I'm just gonna send my ECU in to PAW and be done with it. I'm over it at this point of waiting and trying other tuners to dyno tune my car. $860 ECU tune, colder plugs, and shipped, not a bad price. I will still have another $100 to dyno the car to see what type of power I can put down(not looking for anything crazy).

As for the R53 comment, I won't go buy another car just to put more mods, when the same could be done with these N18s. Funny how NM, RennTech, and PAW can tune them whether its dyno tuned or sending my ECU in. But hey what do I know lol.

I still hope others decide to tune their cars by RMW at DT in September, it's gonna be exciting for those trying to get it done.

 

Oh yes I will still help out, Detroit Tuned are great guys!

Any questions I can answer I will do my best, otherwise people who are interested have to call DT to fill slots up!

 

Could you explain why that happened? Or do you not know? One bad experience won't hinge my perception on them. NM had issues with tuning automatics. I'm sure when Jan started out he had a few mistakes. Noones tune is perfect but RMW is one of the best and I also consider PAW and RennTech in that discussion since they've tuned a few N18s so far.

I'm really curious what happened exactly to that persons car.

 

Renntech does Mercedes, BMWs, and MINIs and a few others from talking to Lenny(main guy in charge). Precision Auto Werks(PAW) is friends with RennTech but have slightly different tunes. Both are located in FL. Most of the information is located on NAM in a thread. I think some of you don't know about them because no one on this forum talks about them or knows about them. A lot of people have the RennTech tune and no issues with it(N18). Also a few have the PAW tune. I prefer the RennTech tune over the PAW, but we'll see. And thanks for the good luck, I think I will be fine. Check out dyno charts or RennTechs dyno charts for the N18.

I will say however I won't go with ETG(ECU tuning group), the guy is a scammer and came from Europe. He gives out crap tunes and we warned one guy on NAM about it but he learned the hard way when his engine blew up at like 17k miles.

I don't want people to think I'm bad mouthing Jan, I heard he did a few N18s at the dragon so that's why I'm kinda confused as to why he won't do it. I understand its a risk and all of that, but he keeps telling me to wait for a OBD tuning device...that's where I'm like well, "hello RennTech or PAW". If you guys have any other questions, look at the thread on NAM. It's under,official N18 tuning thread.
