Dynoing in E vs S vs Dyno Mode

Hi Everyone,


Does anyone know the impact, if any, to performance if dyno'd in Eco mode, vs. Sport vs. Dyno mode? The car is specifically a 2013 E550 bi-turbo. I would imagine there is one, but I wanted to see if anyone knew what specifically was changed between the functions that may impact output. Again, if anything.


Thanks!
Brian

I believe just needs to be in Dyno mode.

I did my dyno's in E - and have heard that produces lower outputs, so looking to identify what the differences between E, S and dyno mode from a power perspective (i.e. what gets reduced in E vs. S, etc.).

I believe shift points are lower in E mode but if you went into manual shift mode then you weren't in E or S mode.

Right, throttle mapping and shift points and shift speeds are adjusted in E, but at WOT I think the output is the same as S or S+

Interesting, as I was told that at WOT 100% of throttle wasn't reached in E from a reputable source.
