Finally Dynoed my 1'er!

[BFD99]

So i decided to see what the 1'er had in her. Mods are DCIs, and JB4. Running Map #2, with half a tank of no ethanol 91 and half a tank of 101 octane!
Best pulls were 351 rwhp and 390 Lbs of tq. I'm loving this car! I need downpipes and meth now! LOL

The sound of your Bimmer is intoxicating.

[BFD99]

Haha thank ya sir!

did you every dyno your car before the mods?

No sir, wanted to but wanted to know the power it was making at the power that i drive it at daily!

[BBK]

You drive daily with half 100octane ?

[BFD99]

Not usually, but every once in a while, i more meant tuned daily vs. stock.

Nice man!

Though I think you might have put down better numbers with the autotune map (5). Map 2 is optimized for cars with DPs (though I was told #2 is okay with no DPs, high octane fuel, and an intake).

Still, at the crank I'd figure about 400 hp and 450 ft lbs (assuming 12-13% drivetrain loss)! Great to know that with just a JB4, a DCI, and higher octane gas a 1er can put down those crank numbers

thanks man. Downpipes will be my next mod.
I've only run map 5 once for about a day and when I did it threw an engine malfunction error so I cleared the code and went back to map 1. Only changed to map 2 today after getting the fuel and running it pretty hard so it would adapt for about 5 miles.

That is true, and thank you for pointing that out. I hadn't even thought about where OP was located

However, I wasn't thinking like that when I posted. I was mostly thinking that the autotune map would be the best at "correcting" itself for his particular mods, versus map 2 which was pretty much built for at least DPs, if not FBO without meth. Map 2 is assuming that the turbos have more room to breathe than they actually do in a car without downpipes, which I feel like would have detrimental effects to the output. I could be wrong, though
