1st dyno (before mods)

[moranor@axis]

so just got back from the dyno and im very surprised at the results:

I got 126.6 kw
and 222Nm

its supposed to be putting out

125kw
245Nm

i never thought i would see those figures on an 11 year old car
Ill post the sheet soon as i can get a pic of it

now i want to see what difference the chip and full free flow will make

edit:
just got off the phone with the dyno guy and the reading is calculated at the flywheel...
he said bwms are the only cars that make what they supposed to on the dyno

the reading is calculated at the flywheel...
still good for an 11 year old car i think

Projected gains?

 

[moranor@axis]

streetracer said i should get about 18kW and 25Nm at the wheels so with a 15% drive line loss it should put me up to 145kW and 250Nm on the Flywheel but Ill see when i get it back on this dyno...

[moranor@axis]

lol things are a bit crazy right now will post pics soon...

 

[moranor@axis]

sorry so late here is my 1st dyno (stock) will only do the next one after my car is chipped... but i need to change my flywheel 1st

---

here are some pics of the exhaust system viper branch with a mandrel bent duel 57mm with 3 free flow boxes so its not too loud...

i really dont like how he did the hangers but hey normal people dont look under there cars anyway

these tips are actually polished... my car is filthy right now i might change the tips later

i need to clean my car and take proper pics

i should really have taken pics of the branches before they went in they not so pretty anymore

i wouldnt wait to long to do the chip, as far as i know its not good to run the car with a branch without a chip. something about the ecu not being able to adjust enough and causing the engine to run lean..
also i dont think you will get to the figures you are hoping for, probably get to 140kw imo.

 

[moranor@axis]

140kw would be awesome but im happy with whatever i get

cant do the tune before i change my flywheel because its going to be a little lighter...

The exhaust work looks awesome. I believe Abel has moved to Natal, was he involved?

used his branches but the exhaust was done at exhaust shoppe in pmb im very happy with the results so far but i still need to get it tuned... and do another dyno to see what i have gained

Cool you half way there. There are some differences with the 325 in the intake but the big diff is the conservative timing at the top of the rev range to keep the power at bay. Once you do the software you will be highly surprised with the gains you have achieved overall.

one of the reasons i got the 323i is i knew there would probably be alot to gain compared to the 325i for the same mods (I beleave you don’t really need more than 2.5l to make proper power if you boosting) i may still get a 325i intake and other goodies but im not sure it will be worth it because i will have to make a custom intake for the supercharger anyway
