I agree, why was the car doing 166 MPH on the dyno? That seems a bit extreme and unnecessary.

YouTube sucks because it takes too long between having to log in, fill in crap, etc.
Try www.postimage.org and then post the link, much faster and easier.

Looking forward to finding out your input on the Dinan tune as well since I might be ordering soon too. Was very happy with my stage 3 on my old 135i |

The tuner put the car in 6th gear instead of 5th gear by mistake on the initial pass. My point is the car went well past the 155 mph factory limiter. On my 335i with Dinan Stage 2 the factory limiter was removed and labelled as a selling point. No mention with this version of the limiter being removed, but still a great option for the track guys.

Either way, for him to not fully disclose the issue is a pansy move. For full transparency, it's best to know exactly what's going on since he's one of the first on the forums with the Dinan tune.

not if someone is working with him. What would the possible alternative be? He spent 2000 and is stuck. If it was your 2000 you would probably go along with whatever is causing him to holdback too. He doesn't owe us anything, his main concern should be for his own well being. I'm sure all will be revealed in due time.

Came in to see the results. Too bad they were not posted. People post bad BMS results. It's no big deal. If the results are bad you contact the tuner to figure out what went wrong, fix it, and post the updated results.
For the dyno runs with F series automatics I thought they were supposed to be done in 5th gear? That goes up to 140mph or so. Mike |

Heres my take....the shop forgot to strap the car down during the dyno and the car went 160mph into the dyno comp and destroyed all the results lol

I don't think there's a shop in the area with a dyno. But I heard there's a technical college nearby that has one. I'll try to contact them this week and try to before and after runs....I hope Dinan doesn't disappoint. |

The fact of the matter is a claim was made that shouldn't be possible given the limitations of the equipment being used therefore any results stemmed from this test are bogus. |

Uploaded two videos to youtube (Dinan Exhaust)
1. Cold start (note: catless). I think it sounds ok at start. 2. 35 seconds later - this is the sound I like. |

Appreciate the updates Dharo1. I also like the sound when it is warmed up best, sounds good. Do you have the stage 2 kit?
