135i Dyno

Kirst · 12-06-2013, 09:13 PM

I took my 08 135i to Mercury Motorsports this morning, at the moment it only has a stage 1 Cobb OTS tune

Made 306.8hp on 14psi boost

Not bad....

Nice. Looks pretty smooth.

Would have been awesome to have seen a comparison vs stock tune, but it would have been too hard to do It on those dyno days.

Is it what you expected?

Pretty much bang on the money

We've added another tune that realistically should get another 10-15hp but I wasn't sure about running it today

Bit of a shame mercury won't touch euros for any work, it's a fairly nice workshop

BMW86 · 12-06-2013, 09:59 PM

Australian record for most powerful female owned n54

Pretty much bang on the money given it's on a dynodynamics

There's not that many other options in Brisbane as for dyno brands anyways.

Dynodynamics is the norm, so it's a pretty level playing field in the local area (or even across Australia)

As far as I'm aware 999 have a dynojet?

999 definitely has a DynoDynamics.

Mercury is really good, I've also got an Nissan 180sx. Some of the work they do there is pretty amazing, including NITTO, 1000awhp R34 ain't too shabby.

flinchy · 12-06-2013, 10:57 PM

Kinda sucks no dynojet's in bris, much better for comparison shop to shop as you can't mess with them/have bad cal's like dyno dynamics

And yeah, would have been good to try stock tune, but a baseline's a baseline lol - my guess was 300 lol, but was expecting less given dd, though doesn't mercury's read a LITTLE higher than others locally? - either way, they're pretty local, will likely bring cars back for future power runs for consistency

Not bad....

In the picture / white board there is a S15 4 Cyl with close to 500hp - what is a S15?

Some very impressive numbers there!

Did the CLA45 have trouble being dyno'd? 230 hp seems very low, even if you take into account it's AWD drivetrain losses.

Yeah they couldn't get the traction control to stop kicking in

Nice work BMLady, good to see an active woman in here.

Yeh Smiley, I noticed that car too, must be one of the first locally to dyno a CLA45. 171kw, meh, from a 260kw factory car that is low. (Edit, that may explain it Lady)

Oh yeh, BMW86, I know a lady who had a ESS tuned N54 that also had an akra, that car was pretty toey too

she moved on to a Stuttgart machine since though.

flinchy · 12-07-2013, 09:07 PM

the shop didn't know how to put the merc into dyno mode, so traction control killed the center diff cutting power to the rear wheels

then for whatever reason, they just took it off the dyno instead of working out what to do *shrug* - i only stayed longer to see it run too

the owner has both an A45 and a CLA45 too!
