DINAN Stage 1 Performance Engine Software - MINI B46C/B46D Engine 2020+ LCI - (NO LONGER AVAILABLE)

The 3rd Generation MINI carries on the tradition of its predecessors and offers its owners an enjoyable driving experience via the virtue of being compact and nimble. However, stock levels of power are pedestrian for those enamored with maximum performance. This is especially true when compared to its BMW siblings that Dinan has tweaked and improved for decades. With the B46C powerplant shared between both marques it begs the question - what would the MINI platform be like with an extra 77HP to go along with its already gratifying handling characteristics? Extraordinary is the answer the Dinan R&D team has discovered. The B46C on 93 octane and absolutely no other modifications but the Dinan stage 1 tune clocks in with raucous gains of 77 WHP and 79TRQ,  128WHP and  118TQ on E85 Fuel. That is nearly 1/2 another MINI's worth of power packed into that diminutive frame. What does this mean for you? Fun. Lots of it. Agility and power, together at last. 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 128 WHP / 118 lb-ft of torque over stock on E85 or 77 WHP / 79 lb-ft of torque over stock with 93 octane.  Consult the performance charts for additional octanes and/or detailed data on other vehicle variants.
• Dinan Stage 1 performance software includes a limited lifetime warranty against defects in the software and provides free updates and reflashes as they become available. Labor or shipping charges are not included in the warranty.
• Choice of numerous octane calibrations depending on your needs (91, 93, E85 and 100).
• 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 being set to 4000 RPM and implementation of per gear torque limits.
• Sport gauges rescaled to reflect higher than stock power output.
• Stock JCW pops and bangs settings retained (JCW), or implemented (S), depending on application.

This is a bench flash and will require the DME/ECU to be removed from the vehicle and sent in to Dinan to be unlocked/flashed. Please send with insurance and tracking!

New box codes we have not seen will require a new calibration to be extracted and made. This may add up to 7 days to the process although in most cases the DME/ECU will be turned around within 2 business days.

Purchase the tune. Send Dinan your DME. Dinan will unlock it, install Dinan software, and ship it back. The unlock process is free. Ground shipping to the continental USA is free. 

Mail your DME to Dinan 4800 U.S. Hwy 280 W, Opelika, AL 36801, USA, and include the last 7 of your VIN on the outside of the box along with a copy of the unlock form inside the box.

Fill out the form below linked and select Mini under the unlock type.

This part is legal under the provisions of EPA’s memorandum 1A. The company has reasonable basis (test results) to verify that this product allows the vehicle to operate within legal emissions standards and is therefore legal to be sold for on-street use in all states that accept the legal provisions of the Clean Air Act and EPA Memorandum 1A. This product is NOT LEGAL FOR SALE OR USE IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. Testing with the California Air Resources Board, in order to achieve 50-state compliance, is pending with CARB. Once testing is complete with California, and an E.O. number is issued, this product will be updated to 50-state legal status.

BOX CODES: The MINI B46C engine and its multitude of variants account for numerous unique box codes across various platforms. While Dinan has created files for many of these permutations, there is a chance you may have a box code that we have not seen. If this happens to be the case we will need to create a file for your vehicle. This process could add up to 7 days to the bench flash process although in most cases it will be turned around within 2 business days.

LCI: Current compatibility of the B46C engine software is limited to LCI vehicles (MY 2020 and newer).
