So it was a nice day outside last week, my new ACT Street clutch had just passed 500 miles of easy use on the stock tune, so I decided to go to a dyno day on a Dynojet 424X to see how the combination of the new V5 3-30 DIC maps, O2 modifier removal, ACT Street, new HPFP, and fixed BOV clip stacked up, and so I would have a recent baseline for before/after on my now-installed CP-E FMIC/OC combo. Stats and Mods:

Car:
'09 E92 335i 6MT
Procede V5, 3-30 DIC maps, run on a bone-stock Map 2 (14.5psi boost set)
Macht Schnell 3" Catless Downpipes
CP-E Catless Exhaust
Homebrew DCI
ACT Street Clutch, Stock DM Flywheel
Shell 93 Octane pump gas
NO meth
Stock FMIC

Conditions (rounded avg across runs):
63 Deg F
29.88 in-HG
8% Humidity

Peak numbers (STD Correction)?

400.89 WHP, 407.14 WTQ

Evidence:



Log of the 400whp run:




Quite pleased! I'm really looking forward to dynoing with the new FMIC, and I'm looking even more forward to Shiv's new fueling system, and to that meth kit! Particularly since I was called out by an E92 M3 w/an ESS 530hp S/C setup on it...I want to represent the N54s well!

Nice!

Logs look great........so that was on the stock intercooler?

[acdHQK713K]

310 rwhp with nothing but 3" DPs, DCI, and exhaust?

[cn555ic]

Damn nice numbers!

[Bakeme521]

That makes me feel pretty good, I have a FMIC and I am hoping to see 400whp when I get it dynoed.

[jpsimon]

looking good!

How are you liking the ACT Clutch? Im getting mine installed tomorrow, pretty anxious to see how it feels, breaking it in will be a pain, so tempting not go above 3000-4000 RPMS

Great numbers by the way

[OpenFlash]

Good numbers! You'll probably be over 410whp when you upgrade the FMIC. The stock unit is pretty miserable at those power levels.

Thanks man! Yup, stock IC. Thing heatsoaks SO badly! I can certainly get my new IC to heat up, but it never comes close to the crazy heatsoak on the stocker, and it sheds heat in 1/10th of the time as well. It makes a noticeable difference, and I'll be curious to see what it puts down with the new unit on.

Yup. And I doubt there is much if any perceivable weight diff between the stock clutch and the ACT, but it should still be mentioned. I agree that it does seem a bit high, but when I consider the 297whp I put down in November on a DJ 248c with a leaky BOV and the stock clutch, I would imagine that with those things fixed, it probably would have put down similar numbers on that same day in November that it put down last week.

Thanks! Really need meth and that upcoming fuel system upgrade...and maybe a tiny shot of nitrous to really put the hurt on that S/C M3

Your setup looks pretty similar minus the exhaust...if you are on a dynojet and use the STD correction that everyone around here seems to measure by, I think that's a pretty reasonable goal.

Thanks! I absolutely love the ACT. It's what the car should've come with from the factory...and everyone who's felt it has said the same. Just FWIW...I had been planning on being totally torturous to myself during break in...no WOT, no revving above 4k, no tune. My friend who installed the clutch, who is a 20 year BMW Master Tech among other things, said that I needed to use the stock tune, have zero slipping of any kind between shifts, no riding of the clutch or launching of any kind for the first 500 miles, but that as long as those conditions were met, that going WOT and revving high were okay. Just my 2c, and I believe it's definitely better to sway on the side of caution, but I just wanted to throw that out there, as it makes breaking it in considerably less painful.

Thanks man! I got the Z8 dynos too...put it in STD, and it shows 377whp. I seriously question whether or not the e92 would be able to shake it.

Shiv

Thanks Shiv! Those AFRs look great now! And the difference pre-post IC is huuuuuge...

[Litos]

i don't wanna say you didn't do i, because you did, but something tells me that the dyno might be a little generous.

most dynos i see are mustang dynos.

310whp with DCI's and full exhaust is generous on stock boost and stock front mount...

[RR80]

FMIC is all you need now, get 10-15hp more in no time! I can feel the difference after install the FMIC from the first pull!

i'll drive the Z8, you in the e92 and we'll settle that mystery once and for all

Yeah id agree that 310whp w stock boost is a bit generous. Defacto do you have a baseline on this dyno w no mods?

i will also attest to this statement.

car just feels healthier with the fmic on

and like i've said countless times before - i have yet to see another turbo'd car that benefits MORE from a fmic than an actual exhaust HAHA !!!!

+1

Thought it was a bit generous. Nice numbers nonetheless.

I don't disagree. Hey, in SAE it said 301whp if that makes you feel any better...

Oh, the sacrifices we make in the name of automotive e-science!

I don't disagree that the numbers do seem a bit generous. Unfortunately, I don't have any dynos of the car in totally bone stock condition on this dyno. However, I can tell you what some other cars put down on the same day.

135i 6MT, JB4, DCI, Meth: 372whp, SAE
E92 M3 6MT, catback and filters: 331whp, SAE
E60 M5 6MT, Headerback catless exhaust (Dinan), Dinan pulleys, filters, tune: 440whp, SAE
And just for fun...'07 GT500, KB 2.8, headerback, cams, intakes, TBs, aftercooler, running ????boost...698whp SAE, revving to 6k because the thing kept spinning it's DRs, even with 7 people on/in the car :P

For comparison's sake...with SAE correction, my car put down 389.25whp, 395.39 WTQ. FWIW, given the mods, all of the above cars seem to be right on the money as far as making power that falls right into the mean for other cars with the same mods. The fact that the Z8 made 366whp SAE, run after run after run, when E39 M5s make 330-340whp on that dyno all day long, was also pretty stunning. So net net, I don't know what to say, really. I know that the numbers on my cars do seem high, I can't argue that, and this certainly isn't a dick swinging contest for me, so I really don't mind if people question the numbers, because they seem high to me as well. On the other hand, other cars on the same day seemed to make power that was right on the money as far as expectations. So...idk.

[dzenno]

Generous or not, great gains...congrats, machine's running gooood

from that list i'd say generous.

but, it's the gains that are more important

[RR80]

I am interest to see that GT500... How come the E92 only making 331whp, is that a little bit low for a M3?

not really

[OpenFlash]

Those other results don't seem too generous to me.

this doesn't seem generous !?!?


135i 6MT, JB4, DCI, Meth: 372whp

i don't see 370+ on 14psi with meth - sorry

UNLESS, there's dps and fmic involved.......
