Mine returned a fairly decent figure for a donk i cobbled together in a messy garage







Edit

Nice figures there chris and magpie.
Wish I was ready for this. Gutted I missed it. Good turn out for the zone too.

cheers Dezzy,someone was there from total bmw mag

Was there? who was that, I have probably spoke to them without realising.

That's a strong s50 chris. Everone says 300 without the cats your near as dam it arnt you.

It feels strong on the road, that's the important bit, the number is only good for pub bragging rights IMO unless it was on a proper engine dyno (no drive train losses and no compensation calcs, just simple torque vs rpm).

I still want a supercharger though as it just isn't quick enough

was the guy with a grey woolly hat,he was in the black 325i.

didn't realise he was doing the write up...cool

Hiya, yeah I emailed TBMW who seemed interested so doing a write up and have some pics to send. I'm not actually from the mag though unfortunately...

Was a great day out, cheers to Andy for organising etc, not sure how I wound up being first up!

Good to put some names to faces as well!
Will get some photos up here shortly..

was a brill day, got videos of everyones run and loads of pics i will get them up shortly, also picked up my cabby today, has a few holes in the rear valanc for some strange reason and one arch has just started to go, other than that its mint and has only done 90k

If anyone wants any high res pics i can put them up

also got some vids may post them up later if i can be arsed

Cool pics.

hey guys. cheers to everyone that turned up. im sorry and gutted i missed your photo shoot. the pics look awesome. i thnk it was jimbo2006 that gave me a shout to come over but i couldnt leave my mate as when he put his golf back on the trailer he had a phone call saying his dad had died so i couldnt leave him. awesome wheelspin stonesie, had flashbacks from lee at teeside i thought you were gonna stack it when you went round the corner lol.

his is standard apart from K&N Panel Filter, Evolve Chip and lightened flywheel

My figures were

152.9bhp @ 5,946 rpm @ Engine
122.1Bhp @ 5,858 rpm @ Wheels
138.9 Torques @ 5,565 Rpm

Engine had just had just been serviced and has an ebay Chip in, looking at figures my power was slightly lower down in the rev range than magpies but his fueling etc was a bit smoother

about 175 i think stu

Really sorry to hear that for the guy, thoughts to him and all involved. I did wonder why everyone looked so quiet.

Cheers for organising Andy, it was a good day. I sent the shot of yours on the rollers since it wasn't in the pic of them all.
Should hopefully make it into next month in time apparently, fingers crossed.

Yeah Mick (Baur 320i)'s 325i made 176bhp, 165lb-ft. One of many good results for the M20s!

My results made a good read. I had it on the rollers about 4 months ago and it made 179bhp and 170lb/ft torque since then I have flooded the engine when I submerged the car in water and this time it made 177bhp which is with a sticky rear calliper but it also made 206lb/ft torque and I don't have a clue where it's come from!!!!!!!

Yours sounded good too Andy, get that calliper sorted out and we will see what it can really do

Just comparing my graphs from this and a few months ago, mine has made more TQ but lost some bhp too... still drives the same

Who's was the sweet Mk1 on Bike Carbies???

^it arrived and left on a trailor and the owner was a youngun who had recently purchased it.
