I could look into it with our tuner. We can do just about any European car so I am sure anything is possible.

Send me an email and I will see what I can do, sales@jlevisw.com

Dyno is not fair

Is your 'tuner' also good at changing a dyno print out to suit his findings?

Besides your sanner needing a good polish, I am able to find a couple of anomolies concerning your posting.

1. The graphs are not displayed with the same y axis values. Overlaying the graphs is no value as they are different scales.

2. The 'Base Line Run' is cutoff at 5000rpm, and the 'Speed Innovations' software is 6000rpm. Both lines appear to be exactly the same until 5000 rpm when magically it can be seen reving to 6000 and priducing the extra power?

3. The Dyno shows that the car has significantly less torque at the start of the map once tuned with Speed Innovation.

4. The torque is very erratic after the Speed Innovation software. This must detract from the performance. Is the tuner aware that the engine is most probably running on the knock sensors and reducing the timing?

If you offer a free dyno to anyone in LA then are you able to please post this information in a slightly more standard form? What dyno is this?

ummmm....I had my car done by Speed Innovation, and he did not modify my dyno numbers. I have a 2.3L non kompressor C230 with 148hp and 162 lb ft. stock. The only modification I have on my car is home made CAI, and I gained ~6hp to the wheels and 16 lb ft to the wheels with SI's software! I was extremely impressed with my results, and I would do it again in a heart beat


note: both dynos were done at Church Automotive

Not knocking you or the product or the vendor but I personnaly don't think I could be "extremely impressed" by ~6hp / 16 lb ft. to the wheels... That's hardly even enough to feel ... Did you even notice the hp and torque gains by your "seat-of-the-pants-ometer" ...? Is that where you were impressed...?

This is not a stock 2.3, he had an intake which actually decreased power with the new software. When we removed the intake, the car made MORE power than what is on the dyno.

I will be tuning my 2001 325i.

Just to clarify:

It was not the intake that made the gains slightly lower, but the AEM bypass valve I had on the intake. I feel that my gains are significant considering the fact that I am a 4 cylinder, and I do feel a difference, and that is what made it worth the money.

OK so you honestly think that your losing only 10hp in the drivetrain? Then you must have a Mclaren Mercedes P230 not a mercedes-benz C230...

SI = BS!

So you removed the engine to measure the flywheel gains? Or the 'tuner' just 'worked it all out' for you and printed off a graph?

Also, why does the dyno graph mention miles per hour? So you gained 6hp at the flywheel? how much at the wheels?

ok...

The numbers of 148hp and 162lb ft. are the factory hp figures for my vehicle. The dyno was done on a Dynapack machine, which is the more accurate of the Dynometers. It mentions miles per hour because that is the speed in third gear (my car is an automatic and is therefore dynoed in third gear) at which my car makes it's peak hp, or peak torque (in third gear as well). I gained 6 wheel horsepower. At the crank, that would be something along the lines of 8ish hp or so. I am not impressed with my hp rating, I am very impressed with the amount of torque I was able to achieve. IMO, this car needs torque more than anything else, and according to the guy performing the Dyno, there is a 25hp difference between the Dynapack and flywheel figures. According to him, I should be at around 168hp and 190 lb ft. torque at the crank.

Let me add that the Dyno shop and SI are not affiliated, and this happened to be our first times using this guy (SI had no previous affiliation with Church).

Well I just got back from Speed Innovation and I am EXTREMELY impressed to say the least. We did dyno runs BEFORE and AFTER the install. I should mention that my car is a 2001 325i Steptronic with a GruppeM intake which yielded ~5HP at the crank.

On to the more important information. This was dyno'd using a Dynapak dyno system, I have provided pictures as well as video links to show you how it was setup. Multiple runs were done for baseline and after and only after we received consistent gains did we save the info as pictured below.

My car was tuned with the standard 325 software that will go into all M54 325's. Software is also available for ALL E46's, M54 and M56 engines. That's right, they have software with similar gains for you M56 folk. In any case, the dynos speak for themselves. Realize this is WHEEL HP and estimated crank is about a 15HP gain and over 20TQ gain.

My impressions of the car after...well the car pulls MUCH more in the lower end where it needed it. In every gear, the car is much stronger throughout the rev band. As you can see, the software is not peaky at all, it maintain's the linearity of the Inline 6 that BMW is so famous for. Please feel free to take a look and let us know what you think!

Pictures of the dyno as well as the dyno itself are below, videos are to follow!


















Enjoy!

Thought I would pass along another interesting dyno from SI HOT OFF THE PRESS. This is from a Chrysler Crossfire SRT-6, the same engine that is in the C32 AMG

Just passing along a cool video and dyno of the latest Speed Innovation creation, a Ferrari 355.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5r27J8paCzE



This was performed on a DYNOJET system and the top run file is stock. Several run files appear as Speed Innovation tuned, dyno'd, tuned some more, dyno'd etc...until reaching the final run file.

Enjoy!
