Its been a while since we had a new Mini part to dyno test and tune and this part is well worth the wait. The ALTA JCW Catback (fits Cooper S as well) replaces the entire exhaust system from the downpipe to the back of the car. This means you keep your stock downpipe which is the ONLY downpipe that ...

A few of us lucky tuners were able to get our hands on the Beta ECUTEK ProECU software to tune the new BRZ and FR-S. ECUTEK is a UK company that has been reverse engineering ECU's(Engine Control Units) in Subaru's for 10 years now. This is as long as we have been building parts for Subaru's so by no...

In our world, intakes are not all created equal. Intakes generally require an ECU retune to compensate for the change in airflow readings. This is because intake manufacturers can use a variety of different style MAF flanges, tubing sizes, and even bends before and after the MAF sensor can all creat...

Sticking with the theme of free flowing and 2.5" tubing, the next restriction in the exhaust system after the catback exhaust is the Front Pipe for the BRZ. For all you STI and WRX fans, think of this as the downpipe for the BRZ. Looking at the diagram below, you can see the Front Pipe is after the...

Around the shop we talked about this a bunch but never actually did it. Of course it sounds crazy to run your STI with no intercooler, but what if we added Meth injection?? Would this solve the air density issue? Would it cool temps enough to run the same ignition timing? Would this offset a necessa...

Ok not really it was from today, but it sure feels like i have been waiting forever. I know there is no proven power yet, but very very soon....

Cold Air Intake System Design and Testing Our intake system started out simple using a combination of silicon steel and some other sheet metal parts. In dealing with other cars with MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensors we knew it was important to keep diameters and orientation of the sensor similar to stoc...

As with many of our ALTA products we start out simple and build upon them until they meet our customers' demands and or our own internal goals. With any new vehicle we start with the things we know customer are going to want. The obvious things like exhaust, swaybars and of course the intake! When...

The term uppipe, where did this come from? Definitely not from Subaru, but most likely from some crazy Subaru Enthusiast. Where ever this term came from, I remember first seeing the term use on I-Club forums (now known as NASIOC). This strange part people were calling an Uppipe is what drove me ...

We finally got around to retesting all our parts on the new 09 JCW. WE have very good results on our 07 and 08 R56 Minis when we tested every single ALTA part back to back. To this day we have proven these results over and over again with customer cars and new R56's we purchased. You will see bel...

As promised here is our data! Sorry if the formating is a little confusing. Good to hear from Matt, we havne't heard from you lately. Must be all those MC2 articles! First off, i know understand why there are lots of doubters out there. It could be because our dyno graph wasn't on our site. Whe...

PERRIN EVO 9 Intake Test and Tune We have been selling our EVO intakes for quite some time now and while we have proven they do not screw up the MAF readings we never did dyno test it. In the past we had to go to someone elses dyno to test things and in the past this item wasn't on the top of o...
