DINAN + PERFORMANCE ENGINE SOFTWARE - MINI B46C ENGINE

3rd Generation MINI's have been largely unchanged since their introduction in 2015. However, the engines and ECU's have gradually been tweaked over multiple LCI refreshes. The first of which in 2020 saw the base B46 engine become standard between both the S and JCW Cooper models, albeit with minor changes. In addition, changes in architecture to the core ECU made early flash tuning solutions incompatible with the LCI. Even within the LCI itself there have been encryption changes that have further diminished flashing availability and relegating options largely to in-line tuners (piggybacks). That changes now.

The 2020 B46C engine found in the S variants are the first LCI's to be imbued with Dinan levels of power. With no other modifications but the Dinan + engine tune and 91 octane, maximum gains of +57 WHP and +72 lb-ft of torque are attainable while still retaining a factory mathching 4yr/50k new car warranty. That's a fair amount of power, and fun, added to an already deceptively enjoyable vehicle. The little MINI that could, now can... and then some free of worry.

While increases in power at this scale typically come at a cost to the engine's durability, this is typically due to improper calibrations that are simply after one goal regardless of engine health - maximum power. Dinan's calibrations are safe and reliable without sacrificing long-term reliability or performance. Dinan performance engine software is so much more than just turning up the turbo boost after all. It is a fully re-tuned engine management program that maximizes power while keeping all the MINI factory safeguards in place. In most cases Dinan software engineers also implement their own additional safety precautions in order to guarantee flawless performance that may not have been needed with factory power levels/programming. Protecting your MINI, while giving the most performance, is the definition of "Performance Without Sacrifice". To do just that, drivetrain and engine components are analyzed for strength, and then the calibration is tested on the dyno and in the real world for durability and drivability. This process has been a cornerstone of Dinan software development for decades and a major reason why Dinan performance tunes are often labelled as being the smoothest, factory-like solution in the marketplace.

FEATURES

• More Power: Max gains of 57 WHP / 72 lb-ft of torque over stock with 91 octane. Consult the performance charts for additional data.
• Dinan + performance software matches the factory new car warranty (4year / 50,000 mi) and is the warranty protection commonly associated with the Dinan brand.
• No required parts. Install on a stock car and receive the full power gains.
• Full map rescaling for drivability from idle to wide open throttle and everywhere in between.
• Optimized boost control, cam phasing, fueling, airflow and temperature controls for maximum power output that is also safe and reliable.
• Top speed governor (VMAX) removed.
• Aggressive sport mode cooling added for optimum track effectiveness.
• Pedal mapping optimized for revised torque output with a more linear throttle feel.
• Retains all MINI factory engine safeguards and adds additional safety protections such as the stationary rev limiter and implementation of per gear torque limits.
• Sport gauges rescaled to reflect higher than stock power output.
• Stock JCW pops and bangs implemented for increased aural satisfaction over the factory S settings.
