abit dissapointing that it seems like the guy isnt going to post dyno results

 

vaporware.

 

sorry for taking so long. i'm have some issues being delt with at the dealership so my car is unavailable for further dyno work.. here is the lastest dyno.. it shows very rich conditions with the turner file installed. i'm thinking it programmed for a reduction pully more than a stock one. i actually lost power on the dyno because of the rich conditions. i went ahead and reloaded the orginal file back(dinan).. it truely has made the difference.. the car feels like it should with the header installed. i havent had the chance to re dyno the car with the dinan/header combo.. i will as soon as i can. or if MTH guys hurry up and give me i properly tuned file i get it dynoed again asap... needless to say this dyno is not what i was looking for. but, there is hope at the end of the tunnel....(lean me out, man!)


dinan program with my other mods minus the header got me 172hp.. the most i reicieved with the tuner/header combo is 168.. not good..

i'm working with MTH to tune my car further.. i will post update dynos when i can..

peace

NO KIDDING on rich, huh? Holy!!!! Ok, well, it's their header and they write the software, both of which are NOT cheap, so they better make good by you. I am sorry to see, but you've very well hit the nail....that's richer than...a stock MCS [lol!] .

 

indeed.. .. i might end up with a pully mod after all..

 

what were u running to get 172 WHP to begin with? just an alta cai and miltek catback?

 

it only has an M7 TB besides the MTH stuff. The rest is handling and weight savings, sure that does improve the P/W ratio, but the motor doesn't have much difference. You're right, it's not apples to apples, but then never was claimed to be. It's not like there's a hidden bottle of nitrous anywhere...... The Kevlar stuff saves weight, the roll cage adds some back...

And for what it's worth... I've had MTH for a long while and have ordered the tuner file. I have an OBX header, and a GTech performance meter. Since I can upload any file easily, when I get it you can expect some GTech data (Wideband too). It's not absolute value, but I'm perfectly happy to post dyno runs that don't show what I paid for (look at my TB posts for an example), so if you all hold your horses, there will be more numbers to debate.

i was runing 91 octane, miltek cat-back, alta intake(stock hose) and dinan stage 3 programing.. it worked well... i imagine with the dinan prgramiing and mth header i'm up there at 180hp or more..(butt dyno says so) hopefully with the new files i'll get even more...

i have the new files.. i'm just waiting for the car..

 

I dont thingk you understand what i was trying to say, i have been in the rally car pre, and after having the manifold done and its a massive difference. The mods eg throttle body were also fitted before the manifold. The video clip was purely so you could hear the sound of it.

If you Put the rally car on the rolling road, all them weight savings wouldnt have made a difference any way to what power it pulls from the engine.

cool .. ! let us know how u go with the new mth..

also are u experiencing any 'flat spots' at abou 3 - 4k rpm with the MTH??

for more details see this thread

Sure would for 0-60 times....

no, i havent experienced the flat spots described in that posting with MTH tuner file..(mind you, my the old tuner file wasnt fully tuned to my car anyway) 3-4krpm, the car feels very strong. the torque is flatter than other places.. accleration is constant.. (super charged engines feel very linear in acceleration compared to turbo charged engines)..i really wasnt expecting more than a GAINT flat spot for a torque curve anyway,..:smile:

we shall see if a serious flat spot occurs. my car seems very strong from the factory. maybe i'm just lucky..

peace..

 

no worries matey.. seems like they've fixed the flat spot so u dont have to worry..

just post us some dyno results after they've fixed ur software

cheers

 

I want to see the dyno results by dynapack.
Bosch date shows always high results.

Here in Japan
Saclam dynos their mini
Saclam dyno mini cooper S.
(saclam exhaust + header 169.5ps dynapack)
(Saclam airbox+ Exhaust + header +JCW 186-188PS dynapack)
http://www.saclam.com/short_topics/c..._dynapack.html

 

well they use my laptop...which is always a good start
...but are them base units that attach to the wheels safe like that ?

 

 

@ joker....maybe its me, but i (in all my years in the trade) have NEVER seen anything like that...looks unsafe to me to be honest

 

...but are them base units that attach to the wheels safe like that ? [/QUOTE]yeah very safe. I was standing next to the units.
no one uses dynapack in UK?
(I think) dynapack is more accurrate than roller one. ???

hey guys, just to let you know. i've have the new leaned out mth header file necessary to produce maximum gains on the dyno.. so, hopfully by saturday you'll see the result you and i been waiting for... "come on, 200!"

 

Good Luck! Can't wait to see your results!

 

FYI,

Dynapack dynos are fairly common for tuners. It's a load based dyno (actually several of them) that bolt directly to the hubs. The results aren't directly comparable to dynos that leave the wheels/tires on (like a Dynojet or Mustang) since they encounter different losses. But, for people doing actual tuning, they work pretty well and are arguably safer than other dyno types (not that any properly operated dyno is unsafe).
