TEASER - What Performance Upgrade Gives a 1M a 20% Increase in Power??

JB4-335 · 02-01-2012, 06:19 PM

I managed 269rwkw on map 6 with FBO and 281rw with meth. Somehow only managed 265rw on the Advan dyno. I really don't go by dyno numbers as they are never consistent.

Don't manuals have less drivetrain loss too?

Yes manuals should generally read higher on dynos all things equal

Even with the newer autos with lock up torque convertors?

So post up the dyno sheet, the OP has obviously done the runner with the video!

I would say my car has a mind of it's own Peter. I would like to have a re run on your dyno. Thanks again Peter.

I don't care about the video, just want to know what was done, the baseline and the final result!

Again +1

Ok Boys, whilst we're waiting for the pictures etc, here's some facts fo you to chew over. I'll give you all some narrative later today.

The 20% Increase in power is the result of installing an Akrapovic Evolution Exhaust System (With Wireless Kit and Ti tips). Please note this increase was achieved without a "tune" and with the factory downpipes.

Dyno runs attached. Once again, please note runs were done same day same weather conditions directly before and after install!

Looks like I was half correct..( guessing Akra that is )

Still...massive increase with just exhaust and factory DP's

BBK · 02-02-2012, 04:20 PM

Baseline of 208kw seems quite low... Was this with M mode on? And same with the after dyno, was that with M on?

Either way... A 40kw increase just with an exhaust is a little hard to swallow?

emack · 02-02-2012, 04:22 PM

M button off both runs...............

up to you what you want to swallow..................

I do believe even with lockup torque converters the inherent complexity of the planetary gearset arrangement in an auto still saps more power than a simple clutch and cog.

Should it make a difference with the M button on ??

I'm gonna start using that line.

40kw with exhaust is a bit unfathomable, we're not saying you're BSing us but something else is obviously at play here. There should be a MASSIVE difference in how the car feels, does it?

RaihaX · 02-02-2012, 04:40 PM

definitely a first seeing 40kw gain with just an exhaust...

05C4R · 02-02-2012, 04:45 PM

Why are we not seeing Akrapovic screaming this at us, those results are impressive

emack · 02-02-2012, 04:46 PM

For me............I feel a major difference.

Its gone from being a great car to a sensational car.

E92 M3 and GT3 were my last 2 cars and I now rate this as the better ride!

JB4-335 · 02-02-2012, 04:52 PM

Gotta love a little dyno load manipulation.
