**infamous n55 torque dip**
For the past year we have been noticing the horrible torque dip when dynoing the n55 motor.
Terry's n55 135i Notice the dip after 3krpms Shiv's n55 135i Notice dip right after 2krpms And here is mine 335i with ar design downpipe Scary I know. A few people have asked why there is such a dramatic drop in tq, which led me to review my dynos. After comparing AFR with tq I have come to the conclusion that for some unknown reason the engine is running extra lean through those rpms.. Notice the huge drop in tq and how the car seems to lean out and start dropping again around 3700rpms and torque is restored. *note that was a 4th gear pull* These next pulls were done in 3rd gear with the now we have the first flashed n55 in the US. It isn't easy to see but it does appear that they have better control of the AFR and have a much nicer tq curve with their flash. This car can run and it pulls hard. I can see this car hitting 11's and trapping over 120 really easy. I hit a 12.95@107 with a 12.8psi max and thats with an extremely slow track(friend with n54 FBO, dual meath, race fuel was trapping 115 all night with a 12.09 1/4). I can only hope that shiv, terry, and or cobb can grasp the fueling issue soon. It obviously has already been down with a flash but I don't see myself sending my ecu to florida anytime soon. I guess I'll just sit back and wait till the n54 war is over and tuners can come back and give a little focus to the n55.

Nice Ernie.
I have to bring it up how about my baseline dynos (N55 6MT). look at the curve between 3-4k i'm still riding at 300 ft-lbs and not dip'n closer to 250 ft-lbs -you know what, i have scoops - not that matters.

i think is a boost adaptation issue because the car doesn't do than on the road , it seems to do this because a boost overshoot and sub-sequent wastegate duty cycle reduction.
i'm going to see if i can make it to the dyno tomorrow and i'll have some logs of the dyno runs and street runs so we all can compare. BTW, did i mention my car is trapping 114.xx with 2.6 60' ?!? And i'm getting some DR's on 17" wheels this weekend.....we'll see! Last edited by black e; 01-28-2011 at 05:41 PM.. |

the flash car run doesn't get richer then stock till 3500 RPM...if it was the case that the dip is caused because of a lean condition then i would have exepected the flash run to be richer sooner in the RPM range.

I just installed my AR downpipe on my auto n55. I did a couple runs for the autotuning and everything went fine. Later on in the day the car would run amazing 1-2 then 3rd would start hesitating a bit. I double checked everything and no leaks. Any idea what that would be?

When I shift into third it feels like it's dying out. 1-2 is great but 3rd is noticeably different.

My car does that too. The boost is there but it seems like it stays around 5krpms ad won't climb, the if I keep on it it shuts down. D u get offthe gas? Try wot from 1 to 4th and see I your car doesn't go into limp mode lke mine.

A few of us agree. I wish shiv would upload the v4 sw and maps so we could test them.
