TheSt|G Dyno Day (You asked for it for long enough)
Finally got some time off to take the car and hit the dyno. The requests have been fairly incessant, so here you go.
The car: 2010 128i with 93 octane gas The power mods: Evolve tune 3 stage manifold Supersprint headers The *maybe* power mods: Euro intake Euro BMW Performance intake Still has stock 128i mid pipe cats. The good: I think this is the highest 128i SAE DynoJet dyno, and the highest N52 SAE DynoJet dyno with bolt ons? I'm not to sure as I really don't pay much attention to this stuff. The bad: It was a hot/humid mid July day. So, it pulled timing on the top end, causing it to run rich for safety. It probably has another 10hp-15hp to give, but sadly we weren't going to find out today. I'll try to get another run in when it isn't so hot out to see what it can fully do. The Numbers SAE Corrected: Run 1 HP: 235.21 TQ: 219.81 Run 2 HP: 233.98 TQ: 221.49 Peak Crank (assuming 17% loss per usual for BMWs): HP: 283.38 TQ: 266.85 Gains(over stock BMW quote) HP: +53.38 TQ: +66.85 AFR:

Awesome! Great gains Stig! Not only are the peak numbers impressive the curve shapes are too. Thanks for going to the dyno and showing us what the 128i is really capable of.

The most impressive thing here is the torque, IMO-- 60 ft lbs from VERY low rpm.
... Which is exactly how it felt driving it, before/after. The tune really made 5th a valid back road gear. I'd really like to see this overlayed on a stock 128 sae file. Anyone have a bone stock manual 128 .drf I could have to overlay them? I bet the difference in area under the curve is staggering, even with it pulling timing at the top end!

Horsepower numbers are good - (I think GTKROCKETT is up there too) but the torque is what is really impressive.

Yup, I just want to get it back when it's a bit cooler outside. And yeah, I was stunned by the torque, though it drives like it.

I have no photoshop skills, but I'm sure someone does. Not sure how relevant it is until it's cooler and I'm not pulling timing. A local 330i buddy and I are tentatively scheduled to return in the fall.

Awesome stuff!!!
Thanks for taking the time Did EVOLVE remote tune this run in any way? Will they in the future?

otherwise I can do Photoshop 128i dyno at about 200-205 hp SAE so this is a fantiasitc gain

Good numbers.
It is a thing to note that I pulled timing in about 75*F and ran rich as well. Talking with AA it was apparent that mine was pulled from the Exhaust Temp Gas being too hot and dumping fuel to save the OEM cats. If you have high-flow cats this shouldn't be an issue though...right? This appears to be right on par of where I should be come headers with a simple prediction of gains. |

STIG Dyno Over lay
The wavy one with higher TQ is the second run, less HP TheAxion request: AA + custom headers + 3IM :: makes less HP in the low end, especially the dips, the gains you feel most in driving daily (unless you wait until 6k rpm) Evolution: My dyno in SAE overplayed over STIGs. DISCALMER - I am tuned for 91 Octane, early adaptation stage dyno, I have no Secondary Cat, And I was on Stock Airbox with charcoal

Are you saying all Stigs mods result in 40 or less hp gain based on the dyno. He believes there's about 15 more hp hidden. If he's right, that would be a sweet gain, around 20 whp gain over stock 330i.

AA's peak power tuning for the headers is spot on, but Evolve and SuperSprint just have them beat everywhere else. There just too much to overcome with Mapleridge's design, including the terrible collector - you can see it as the power nosedives due to lack of flow. |

I dont care about any 10 HP at the top end. I am very satisfied with the Middle story around the dips
