Did I read the engine tuning section right because it looks like they are
not happy with there alpha N and are going to ditch it in favour of a stand alone ECU? |

Just to add a little fuel to the fire, here are my latest figures: At 7800 rpm 192 bhp at wheels, 237 bhp "flywheel" At 5500 rpm 175lbft torque Weirdly (as it is meant to have 284/276 combo) still pulling strong at 8k... Done at Chipwizards, Rochdale. |

I've seen his dyno polt from Powerstation and it made 220 odd at the wheels. (Can't check 'cause British Airways has my laptop anmongst other stuff that they lost for me on friday) But the Flywheel figure was something like 316BHP! Good old Powerstaion corrections.

Dessies car..
I have not driven it myself but I do know the engine builder very well. It has all the right bits added to a very strong engine and has been assembled correctly. 300 is very optimistic though.. watching the car in action at Cadwell from behind in a well driven stock 2.3 it could not pull away. I also noticed everyone on his tail at Croft complaining that the car was fast on the straights but holding them up through the twisties.. I would say that the car makes a good solid useable 265 or thereabouts. Nick |

[QUOTE=UweM3] Yep was a fund day out. Shame everybody went at 12!
I found it a little bit cheaky ( to say the least) from a red M3 to claim only 250 bhp well knowing the car was putting down 300 on a other Dyno before..... QUOTE] Uwe me and Kev met this car and owner at Croft. He claimed 300 bhp and Kevs could not possibly get 300 with a distributor. Well kev's car overtook it and out dragged it on the back straight. His excuse was kev had larger cams, so what if he did, but the claim was Kev did not have 300 BHP. |

Steve, I agree. That car isn't even making 200BHP in my opinion. Assuming that all wheel bearings, rear tracking, brakes, tyres etc, etc are in good condition and correct it will only be loosing 40-45BHP through the transmission (as both my SE and Evo2 does and my Europameister did 6 years ago) I havn't bothered to buy the mag, but was Ewok put in the same feature as this dyno day? |

As has been discussed ad nauseum it's difficult to compare across dynos on different days - but I'll still post what my lastest figure is when I get it tomorrow. What I thought interesting is that there is a pretty big jump between standard cars & those "lightly modded".

Yeah, Powerstations correction factors are a bit optimistic. EWOK 154BHP at wheels (uncorrected) makes 236bhp at the fly (uncorrcted) 82BHP LOSS. My arse. Steve |

Yep was a fund day out. Shame everybody went at 12!
I found it a little bit cheaky ( to say the least) from a red M3 to claim only 250 bhp well knowing the car was putting down 300 on a other Dyno before..... Also wondering if a trip up to Powerstation is adding bhp while'u'drive? (read the EWOK article and compare power figures from this board and the Powerstation run) uups..... |

Good to see such coverage of E30 M3s in the mag - still feel there is room for regular E30 M3 tuning advice somewhere. I know we cover stuff on engines, suspensions etc on various forums on an ad hoc basis, but how about someone getting a guide together. I, for one, would be willing to help, but unfortunately engine building isn't my strong point...or suspension ..or... Thoughts? |
