For Stage 2 with Intercooler, Plugs and Catless Downpipe, how do you pass Smog in CA? Do you change the tune and Downpipe when you have to get inspected?

Im stage 3 and that’s what I’ll do

You have to talk to your tuner shot prices

So overall, how did you find the RPM tune? what features did you get like pop and bangs, sport button, earlier fan run? Do they run smooth on city driving like 50, 60, 70 km/hr speeds? Any engine check lite? Would appreciate your thoughts on this like the stage 2 which am qualified..thanks

The tune has been great, i didn’t get any extra features, just basic stage 3. My car drives better in every RPM range then it did before. I haven’t found a single down side to the tune

hey man. great channel 👍🏽👍🏽 I own a 2013 mini cooper R56 ... The car drives fine from 0-140km. Beyond that, I get a yellow check engine light and the car goes into limp mode. No one seems to know what is wrong. Have you ever encountered something similar ?

@andypeers9903 2 жыл бұрын

I have the same and I hope it's one of the vacuum pipes sucking in on itself Or did you find out the cause?

@comics-on 2 жыл бұрын

@@andypeers9903 The guys who were working on the car said they are getting charge pressure faults. So the turbo is not building enough pressure or maintaining the pressure at high rpm. They initially thought the vacuum system and/or actuator system were at fault but they are fine but the issue persists. Right now they don't know what is wrong with the car. They sent me a quote for a new turbo at R51 000 and fuel pump at R7000 which is a lot of money in South Africa, especially for a 10yo mini. Hope this helps somehow. If you resolve the issue please let me know.

@ayteecee518 Жыл бұрын

I had this problem exactly. Turns out it was the wastegate pipe split. £1 fix. It’s under the turbo, remove the air intake to turbo pipe to the right of the turbo and you’ll see a very thin black rubber pipe. That’s the problem!

Had a question regarding the tune if you know if the stage 1 or stage is smog legal in CA by chance ?

@ProjectMini 3 жыл бұрын

I don’t know if it is or not, but it won’t throw any codes and will still pass the test

I'm returning to this video a year later. I'm really thinking about getting a stage 1 tune this year. Hope you're doing alright. Love your content!

When swapping out the down pipe for a stage 2 tune, can you opt to go with a down pipe with a sport cat?

@Shelltidalwave Жыл бұрын

Hey man I know this was 2 years ago but i was wondering the same did you ever figure out

@jfhall Жыл бұрын

@@Shelltidalwave I did. The guy that did the tune for me said it was fine but recommended a 200 cell car if I decided to not go catless (which is what I did). Same performance and keeps the noise a bit more refined in my opinion. Cuts down on some of the smell as well.

At what point is a limited slip differential required? I'm afraid to do stage 1 on my R55 JCW without LSD cause I'm not sure how my front wheels will behave.

@ProjectMini 3 жыл бұрын

I would install a limited slip before going very far into mods
