My dyno results - M50

[OBs]

Paul (Cook) invited me, well I say invited, I invited my self, so basically I gate crashed someone else's meet

The rolling road was organised through a club round these here parts, loads of random cars turned up, A Skoda, Seats, Escorts (nice kitted Mk3 Turbo), a Supra and a few other Jap 'pieces' a Lancia HF Turbo, R5 and a couple of E36's...

Anywho, I got mine on the rollers which was the first chance Ive had since Tony built the old girl and after missing the 'Fritz' rolling road day.

Me results: 325i 24v
196.4bhp
176.0 FtLb

Well chuffed with those results, after fitting my Bilstein and Eibachs last weekend the car although handling alot better then before bu now sits like a Landrover

Big thanks to Cook318is, Keg_gt (Off here too) and the rest of the 'Crew' from Tuninghouse.

good result mate... good result..

Cheers Tim, bloody impressed I was

Thats with a blowing exhaust and a few other 'teething problems' I need to iron out, then Ill crack the 200 mark

[e30bmlover]

what mods have you done to the engine??

[OBs]

Totally standard, 130k unit.

I did have to cut down an E36 air box to get it to fit stuggly, so in away its been 'drilled' as I havent full finished it and I also cut down, then removed the inlet trumpet at the front of the box, I didnt have enough time to refit that correctly either, but saying that it didnt half bark on full song

thats good on a stock engine mate. i would be chuffed to bits with that result.. book is 192bhp and the 328 is 193(strangled by its own manifold!!)

Very impressive figures Andy and im in no doubt they are pretty accurate too going by mine and others results of the day

Mine was shit output but still good torque.Not bad for a rattly overheating anchor

Thats one of the teething problems

M42 box, 4:1 diff (The box is not in great shape, might have to go down the M20 route)
