Another 400+ whp bolt-on M3

powertrip · 02-21-2011, 05:54 PM

I was invited out to Church Automotive to have my M sampled for the "sound" of the M3's engine on a soon to be released video game. These runs were done on a Dynapak 4000.

I would also like to note that this was not a "get the highest number possible" dyno scenario. The car was driven 37 miles to the facility, was mounted on the dyno immediately, and then driven until the ABS light came on, and then it suffered a series of "rev-snaps" for the audio engineers. Additionally, we had to utilize a VERY limited fan set-up, so as to not degrade the audio files.Sean (owner and tuner) felt that we would see 410ish if we let it cool down, but I was in a rush, so he didn't get a chance to find out.

Three runs on this chart: 393whp (heat soaked to hell), 402whp (slightly cooler), and 396whp (no fans

!).

And here is a quick phone pic of the car as it was tested:

Yep, with my old tune and exhaust set-up it made 388whp on HB Speed's Dynojet. One of these days I'll make it to VF and dyno it there.
