e30 328i Dyno Results 17psi 4k redline

Well, today I went to the dyno day here in Olympia, WA, it had quite a turnout, mostly imports, a few American muscle... Anyway, strapped my car on for $35 which is really cheap, and got a couple runs.

The first run I had wheelspin. They had to strap it down a little more after that, sounds cool though heh.

The second run, I got a good run, but I think my clutch is slipping, and only recorded power for 3400rpm (on the sheet, my MS datalog recorded to 4krpm), which could be why you see the blue lines, because it retraced over itself. Anyway, it was a good run!

RESULTS AT 3400RPM @ 17.6psi (1.22 bar) (due to injector duty cycle being around 100%)

237WHP -> 285bhp
381WTQ -> 459tq

Problems: Found out my rear sway bar end link is broken. My clutch is also slipping, so I'm planning on the IE disk coupled with the centerforce pressure plate (should be strong enough.. heh).

Also getting my 83lb/hr injectors this week.

Totally offtopic, but that 'owner: Kosonen' <- Finnish lastname?

Thanks guys, yes I went to the dyno day, it was a nice turnout.

Yep, Kosonen is definately Finnish. I'm 1/2 Finnish (dad's grandparents came here from Finland). Not too many in the USA have the name though. At some point, I'd like to learn the langauge, but I've heard its the second hardest to learn.

Matt - great numbers. Can't wait to see your car again

So I don't understand... why only 4k RPM?

matt325is · #15 (**permalink**) 06-22-2005, 03:14 PM

The 4k rpm is because my current injectors are maxxed out, if I ran higher, the duty cycle would hit 136% like it did before and shut them off.

As for the leavenworth drive, when is it? I may be able to go.
