Great day had by all photos and figures will be uploaded about 9 tonight

[Kos]

Good banter and the best moment of the day was pony giving 2 thumbs up when his turd put down 165bhp

[gooner1]

Fair play sonni, not far off Barry's.

[pony]

Great day Barry. Thank you very much for organising it! Really fun day. Great food especially the mixed grillz and good company.

Good banter and the best moment of the day was pony giving 2 thumbs up when his turd put down 165bhp

Yeah a lot more than I was expecting given it needs a new exhaust and has an idling issue on cold start and to me the engine does not feel smooth.
I am pretty chuffed with that given it's had 12 owners, 170k mileage (allegedly) with a lot of service history missing and a few previous owners have crashed it.

Cannot wait for the New Scorpion full exhaust system

I think to get more power would probably need new exhaust system, refurbished fuel injectors, new HT leads, rotor arm and distributor cap etc to get 171bhp which is the factory output by BMW

[Gert_8]

I think all the new genuine OEM bmw parts will, no doubt, have helped.

It's a good result and so was Sandeeps

Barry, go back to OEM chip and see what happens, of you want once I've had mine mapped we can both go and see what happens with my turd once it's mapped

[bss325i]

For a m20 2.5??..whats wrong with that??

I was hoping for 190!

Barry, What work have you done to the engine?


That's an impressive figure for an M20!

What 190 or the 177bhp/185lbft i made today?

Either way, not happy as mine did 183bhp/190lbft when the car had just a BTB2, scorpion rear and sebring centre.

I've since removed the sebring centre and scorpion rear and replaced with OEM BMW, fitted a BBTB and a BBR star chip and made 6bhp and 5lbft less.

I personally think its the chip but the AFR's were ok.

[pony]

I think all the new genuine OEM bmw parts will, no doubt, have helped.

The big thing is getting BMW Inspection II Service with New Genuine BMW Parts / OEM Parts and making sure all the mechanicals are sorted instead of aftermarket mods IMO. When all that's sorted then get aftermarket mods should that float your boat. Credit to PacerPete and bss325i for doing the mechanicals

I thought the btb fannymould gave an extra 20 ponies @ the spare wheel?

I reckon pony nicked them while Barry wasn't looking.
Bad pony.

[bss325i]

So am I the only one who broke down on the way!!!

Barry let me know if I owe any monies for missing slot.

And see technical section soon for questions on what's wrong with the poxy thing now

Hope it was a good day

Sorry to hear you broke down and no there is no monies to pay.

[bss325i]

I thought the btb fannymould gave an extra 20 ponies @ the spare wheel?

Last time i had it dyno'd with just the BTB i had it done at SSR and Evolve on the same day.

It made 183bhp/190/lbft at SSR and 185bhp/190lbft at Evole so 15 shetlands and 20 torques from the fanymold.

Something is obviously now amiss.

Well done to Etouring 222/217

Could this be a case of the BTB not being "all that"
