M50 dyno run

[Demlotcrew]

The problem is there is no way a
M50 is getting past 200bhp never
mind 215 from a de cat a 'lighter'
fly and a chip.

Thats almost 25bhp! Sorry but its just not
possible.

209 is from 194*5650/5252

it just says you are attempting a scripting attack and i will be reported to the web master
and wont let me reply

Did you get my PM, and did you attempt to send one back?

Would the Scorpion system not aid it? The M30 airbox is also larger than standard and the viscous delete. These are the only mods.

The rolling road results are there on the print out FACT

What do you want me to do? Go back and say "demlot ses your machine is crap"?

[Bavarian_Autotech]

whats the @ the wheels figure ?

thats the really important one, not the "best guess" figure that is produced via extrapolation and guesswork

its more practical to express gained power as a percentage not an outright figure.

generally speaking 23bhp extra from a 1.8i m40 will be more difficult to achieve than 23bhp from a 192 bhp m50

in the m40 its 20%
in the m50 its 11.97%

is it out of the realms of possibility to gain 12% via an exhaust, induction and a good remap or chip ???

no rolling road can give a definitely accurate flywheel figure.
it is and always will be a "best guess"
this is down to the way the things work eg they get an @ the wheels figure tan then guess the flywheel figure by using a run down off the gearbox, which again isnt and cant be accurate as the box isnt under any load.

the only way to get a flywheel figure is to remove the engine.

Heres another M50 dyno, same chip as mine



I think youd better e-mail him and tell him the bad news demlot


Ive no idea what the power at the wheels is

[maxfield]

wouldn't it be about 182ish. doing a 15% powertrain loss. 215*85/100 is that right?

[Brianmoooore]

Thought it was generaly accepted that a rolling road dyno can only give very approximate engine figures. Suitable for comparisons under similar conditions, but not for absolute figures.

[suzukinutter]

thanks m8 off to work now will look for sumps and the clutch dan wanted chat l8tr

[E30Mark]

Right, I'll get it looked into.

I've just had a quick look at the settings, they all sem OK, ibut i notice suzukinutter is using AOL

[suzukinutter]

mark yes im on aol is that the prob then?

[suzukinutter]

dan im waiting on a car to clear so we can pull the box off and look at clutch it is a 02 320d

[DanThe]

Wont be the one im after
They didnt start using these clutches till mid 2003

Thanks though mate

[stonesie]

i worked it out at 6000rpm and got 214.77... all appears to fit

nice figure there fella

[DanThe]

Thanks mate
