Dynoed my AA C38 Stage I 1995 M3. Made 320 RWHP

[bmw_e30]

I actually ran on 2 different dynos today. I have a C38 Stage I on my car. I am going to Stage 2 in a few days and wanted a baseline. I tried to make this as scientific as possible.

Earlier in the day I ran on a Dyno Dynamics (aka Heartbreaker dyno). It usually pulls the lowest numbers of any dyno. Pulled 300 RWHP SAE corrected. It was about 90 degrees. 3rd gear pull to 6900 RPM.

About 30 minutes later I went down the street and ran on a DynoJet 248. I pulled a high of 320 RWHP SAE corrected. It was about 90 degrees still. 3rd gear pull to 6900 RPM.

There is a 20 RWHP difference between the two. I'm kinda tired now and don't have much else to say. AFR is pretty lean until 4500, then goes slightly too rich for safety I guess, I think the numbers are pretty healthy for a Stage I like mine.

I have the dyno sheet from the DynoJet if anyone wants to host it for me. I will put it up. I will get the Dyno Dynamics sheet on Monday via email. I will put that up also if anyone wants me too.

I am going to re-dyno the car in about 2 weeks after I get the Stage 2 installed.

If anyone has any specific questions, ask away.

Wow, that power band must feel awesome. Soooo smooth, and it just keeps pulling.

You should put that setup in an e30!

Thats so cute. An E36 guy wanting to feel special, so he posts his SUPERCHARGED E36 ///M3 times on a lowly E30 forum. Forced induction is nice for pissing contests, but not for people who dont like to cheat. ;) All bets are off.

I'm gonna respectfully disagree. Though i think 95 m3's are garbage with the exception of the brakes (I had one, I can say that) - they are fast. MUCH faster with an SC than e30 m3's.

However, my buddy Anders with a 2.5 s14 turbowill be putting about 400 to the wheels on pump gas... so I'd be willing to stack that against most e36 m3's anyday... particularly with his ass behind the wheel (he used to hold the track record at PIR for his class).
