Enjoy the Orioles games. With a bit of luck hopefully the Giants and O's can meet in the series. I think that would be the best series personally with the teams that remain. |

I noticed that the Dinan website now shows true stock numbers (I'm assuming dyno) of their test car..
Max HP Gain 38 @ 5000 RPM Max Torque Gain 59 @ 3000 RPM Peak Horsepower 364 @ 5500 RPM Peak Torque 430 @ 3000 RPM Stock HP 320 (326 Measured) Stock Torque 330 (379 Measured) Interesting that their test car dyno'd at 326/379 which makes the tune gain presumably even less... Anyway, now if we could get true numbers of what their test car is doing -after- their tune....!! I'm looking at you Dinan_Engineering! ......... or did the software update and the 'new' numbers make the advertised Dinan numbers the actual whp?! Edit: I guess maybe the (measured) values could also be true engine dyno results?

I am under the impression that this is the final iteration of the tune. However, as was the case with this past update the development of other tunes sometimes give insights that could further help previously released tunes. If this is the case going forward then there is the possibility that there may be a further update(s). I would not bank on that possibility however.

Since you guys are local, where are you getting your 93 octane for testing? Or are you mixing fuels to get to an approximate 93 octane, and if so what's the mixture?

There are plenty of mix calculators online though that do the conversion for you in a click of a button. Just did a quick google search for octane mix calculators and the first one that popped up seems to do the job just fine. http://wallaceracing.com/octane-mix-calc.php |

Got the update... car feels a bit quicker. It was hassle free and very quick (1.5 hours).
I had zero questions asked by BMW dealer. I'm glad I went with Dinan. At 40mph I put it to the floor and broke the tires easily. Car feels great. |

Sounds like you will be buying the Stage 2 upgrade for what will be more than likely a $500 or less up charge over the Stage 1.
Still enjoying my aFe Scorcher for now with no complaints; except maybe the wildlife who think it's hunting season when I do full throttle shifts |

Fletch, I know you had already done a dyno once but I can't find it the results. Could you post your initial dyno results with the Dinan SI tune?
Will be very interesting to see the results from the initial Dinan SI tune to what the car puts out with this 'update'.

Hello,
I am wondering what the ramifications of the extra torque on the ZF trans are. It appears to be rated for only 332 ft lbs. With X drive you should be able to put that power down. Any thoughts or data from Dinan? I have a 235 xdrive on order and would like the tune but this is a concern. Cheers! |

I can guarantee you that BMW did not engineer their transmission to have a factor of safety of 1.0 or less.

450nm is only 331ft/lb torque. There are tunes putting down way more than that right now. 750nm is 553ft/lbs torque which is more likely what we have in our cars. |
