Markert Motor Works Dyno Thread (many inside)

post up the name of the original chip maker? was it is vanos or ignition timing the biggest gain?

+1 don't leave names out, that's no fun.

+1 to that. Knowledge can help us all and competition is the mother of invention.

Not sure it's a good idea, but fine, here it is...

Prob wasnt brilliant lol...Shitstorm coming

[r4esh]

Wheres the s54 swap to compare to :)?

[mpowerful]

I don't think there is gonna be a shitstorm. Its an off the shelf tune so it is what is. One size fits all leaves a lot to be desired.

With that being said i hope i can hit the lottery between now and when im in atl at the end of july.

Exactly. I won't sell chips via mail-order just for that reason. As long as I can tune our customer cars, I'm happy. Had no intention to compare tunes, but when we went to the dyno, the client asked to do a run with his purchased chip.

[digger]

its not about product bashing just allowing people to see what might be left on the table.

A custom tune is always better and the additional cost is well justified compared to other useless mods that people have no hesitation in paying hard earned dollars for.

Stock tunes are realy good. I doubt some of the dyno results, you can never get a steady linear power and torque increase from start to end with just a tune. More air did not get into the engine so from were did you create 10hp/10tq overall. Usualy there would be a loss in torque then gain in HP and other way around.

LOL - painful.

Will be throwing cams in another M52 car to get another comparison/do some more vanos tweaking

Awesome. Can't wait to see the results!

Dave, do you have any evidence to compare the stock MAF with a 3.5" MAF? I need to BAR my car soon and Im thinking about going back to a 3"

[328ijunkie]

Hard evidence? No. We simply dont run them and based on the logging ive done with all the S52s and what not ive ever run there is never a need to run a 3.5" MAF. That part of the intake isnt the restriction anyways...
