I don't have my graph on the internet yet but here's the specs

Year: 1995
Build Date: 9/95
Mods: stock S50 OBD-1 motor with recent head rebuild(dropped valve) and borla catless track pipe, thats it.
Dyno Type: DynoJet

Year: 1995
Build Date: 12/94
Mods: AA Chip
Dyno Type: DynoDynamics
Dyno Conditions: 95 ish
Gear Dynoed: 4th gear
Peak HP: 223.4 hp
Peak Torque: 212 tq

RPM is off about 600 RPM at redline... the operator used the rollers to calibrate RPM and his figures where off a bit.

AA Chip, bought on sale during their summer sale...

I think my A/F is wacked... thoughts?

[A ///Monster]

Your A/F looks like its leaning out worse than mine. You might look into that.

Year: 1996
Build Date: 10/96
Mods: Dinan-CAI, BBTB, exhaust, and Stage III SW.
Dyno Type: Dynojet
Dyno Conditions: 70F, SAE corrected
Gear Dynoed: 4th
Peak HP: 206.9 hp
Peak Torque: 205.1 tq

I believe my numbers are a bit low. What things can I work on to improve my numbers?

[E36M3E]

I don't think your numbers are too far off...I wouldn't think a BBTB TB would help all that much with all the small diameter stuff still in line.

did you romp on it a few good times on the way to the dyno shop to get your fuel trims in line? and was the coolant temp above 200* when they did the runs?

[travelinman53]

Conditions
Elevation 600'
Temp 88F
Dyno Dynojet
Max Power 292.5
Max Torque 232.7
Comments Running way rich with AFR under 12 at 5400, under 11 at 6000, dipping to 10 at 6500, staying under 11.5 to rev limit. Power and Torque cross at 5300. Max power at max rpm.

Will try to scan sheets ASAP.

Nope, didn't drive it hard before dyno-ing it. Not sure what the coolant temp was, but my car was pretty cold (only idled 1-2 mins before the dyno test). Now that I think about it, the car should be at operating temperature before testing.

Btw, I'm very interested in the M50 manifold kit. Don from modbargains tells me you definitely know your stuff!

NOT SURE whether hp/torque numbers are SAE corrected or not.

Regardless i think there high but alot od members say there not. Car feels good.

I would like to go on record that it doesn't make me happy that I am only making 70hp over some stock cars with over $15K in mods!!!

[Shawn C]

I'm surprised your torque# should be higher consider that you got a SC.

The odd part about your dyno plot is that the torque and HP lines do not intersect @ 5250 rpm. I'm definately no expert, but this is something you should investigate...Could be dyno calibration.

Ed

[Jason C SBB]

They don't intersect because the scales for tq and hp aren't the same.
If you look carefully, at 5250 RPM, he's got the same value of tq and hp, ~250. It's a mathematical given, when units used are ft-lbs and hp.

[RICHARD28]

just did my dyno to day on my 98 e36m3 at the dyno shop in santee ca..225 max hp and 226 max torque ,,conforti cold air filter,dinan chip ,dinan cat back,irridium plugs,118,000 miles,original o2 sensors,should i spend a fortune and change all 4 of them??...i feel happy with my dyno compared to a lot of other e36s..i had them run it up to 6800 rpm..

Is there a conversion for STD correction to SAE?

If you have the runfiles, let me know and I'll do the correction.

New Dyno Numbers!

next i'm sending the DME to Active Autowerks on monday for custom software, i cant wait to see the numbers after that.

...and here it is compared to my stock run

[CTL]

your before and after numbers, was this done on the exact same dyno? same place? same temp?

[fsmtnbiker]

New Dyno Numbers!

You should get a backpressure test on the cats done. Your car looks like it is making a LOT of torque for an M50 car, but not as much top end. The torque curve just looks a bit strange. Very healthy torque though!

[BrodsterM3]

same dyno, same place, similar conditions.



i'm going to wait and see what the dyno chart looks like after i install the AA software.

[94is]

Heh, I'm glad some of you guys from the dyno day posted up your results.

Mine was basically the same except I had a better afr. 227/205. They said that the reason it was a little but lower than last time could be from my k&n being dirty.

Whatever, hopefully this is my last dyno with my current mods.

[erobinson]

Got dyno'd yesterday at westech performance in L.A. However, I'm on a Mac and therefore can't use the windows software they gave me to make a proper graph. Here is a link to the data in SFD format: http://veonake.robinsoncove.net/m3/baseline3.sfd

I made 201.7whp SAE corrected, 211 STP, 221 dynojet. This is a baseline dyno as I just received the M50 kit (have not yet installed) from Eric and wanted to know where I was at.

Following the dyno sheet thread:
Year: 1998
Build Date: 11/1997
Mods: No engine mods unless NGBRQUEP count.
Dyno Type: Superflow
Dyno Conditions: 72 degrees F, 29% humidity, 29.13 barometric
Gear Dynoed: 4th
Peak HP: 201.7
Peak Torque: 196.5

Here is an STP graph someone made for me. Can't tell much from A/F based on this graph due to scaling, sorry about that, I've included a seperate A/F graph below. Oh, and I guess the operator didn't adjust for RPM completely properly as it shows redline at 6750 in 4th and I'm not chipped.
Any thoughts?

My graph looks exactly like yours.

You have a PM.
