I'm taking my FSTDAKR to Edge Motorworks to get dynoed at 5:30 today. Anything I should be aware of? What should I have them check while they're doing it?

It's my first time. heh

Are you up to date on maintence? If not, have them go over their 75k checklist

[xiii2kiiix]

Make sure to get A/F ratios printed out.

[JClark]

Doesnt Edge do free undercar inspections if you drop in with a coupon or something? Check their site and do that while you are there.

[cockerkiller68]

I went through that. They did my whole suspension last year.

Wondering more about things to check regarding the engine and performance.

I will have them do the F/A ratio for me.

[99E36M]

how'd you do?

[nickdrivesm3]

My car laid down 215/204 @ edge w/ 150k on the stock motor. Edge is sick, take full advantage of your car on a lift...

[cockerkiller68]

Year: 1995
Model: M3
Engine: 3.0 OBD1
Performance Mods:
Conforti chip
3.5 Euro HFM
Remus Catback
Conforti intake

Dyno: Dynojet

Temp: 77 degrees
Humidity: 29%
3rd and 4th gear pulls
91 octane with 1 can of booster
Brand new plugs
Cleaned HFM
10-40 Castrol Synthetic

Peak Horsepower: 208.65
Peak Torque: 201.81


I'm really shocked at these numbers. They seem VERY low to me. The same as a stock engine. Turner claims 32hp with this kit. What say you? Help is greatly appreciated.

[n00bjabi]

Shouldn't you pull in 5th gear, since that's the 1:1 in M3's?

[96technoM3]

You could, but most dyno operators don't like spinning the rollers to a 150+ mph. If you were to dyno in 4th and then 5th, I'm guessing the difference in horespower is negligible.

[cockerkiller68]

I pulled my chip out just now and took a look at it. It doesn't look like a TMS chip. I wonder if it's JConforti's software burned onto a regular chip? Here's a picture of it. How do you find out what's on it?

[OxfordM3]

Ouch, yea you should be making much more power. Did you buy the chip and euro HFM together? What injectors do you have, stock?

Chip and HFM was on car. Scorp965 bought this chip from Projekte36 in 2005 and installed it. It doesn't look like any TMS chip I've seen. It has a 7k limit, but I don't know if it's legit or not.

Stock injectors.

your HP flattens out at 5600rpms, it should climb all the way to redline. vanos problem maybe?

[OxfordM3]

Call up turner and verify the chip. 1800-280-6966 Turner chips usually sit on a board of their own. Hopefully this is your issue.

They said Vanos "sounded" ok. Whatever that means! lol

I'm not sure what a bad vanos looks like on a dynomap

[cockerkiller68]

I'll call them as soon as they open.
Thanks!

[madsedan]

Usually a bad vanos will rattle, if you put your hand on the vanos area and then have someone blip the throttle as the revs climb and fall you'll feel/hear a knocking in there, marbles.
Yeah, those numbers are WAY off, I had a 95 M3 with only a debaffled airbox, AA chip, and Rogue exhaust that made 211rwhp a couple years ago.

[Patrón]

Do you know anybody that has the same computer as you but with a tms 3.5 chip? Swap the computer and dyno it again if you can. Remember that basic turner chips raise the rev limit also. Hope you find your problem.

[madsedan]

Actually I found my old information and it was 211hp corrected with only RE exhaust and the fan clutch removed...

That is for a 95 with only the RE exhaust and the fan clutch removed. It was in the low 40's but the guy running the DynoJet said it corrects for that, he showed me the "uncorrected" numbers that had a peak of 217 hp. I will be going back in a month or so when I can afford an intake and chip to see how much more I pick up.

[M52 POWER!]

Me thinks your vanos solenoid is kaput. Unplug it and take it for a test drive, if it doesnt FEEL SLOWER with it unplugged then that's your problem.

[cockerkiller68]

Fake TMS chip FTL!!!!

Chip came on car from scorp965. He bought chip from Projekte36.

I PMed Projekte36 last night. See if he gets back to me. This sucks. Really lame.

Here's the for sale thread.

Yea.. fake chip is far more likely that a kapoot vanos. A noisy vanos is NOT a problem in and of itself.. A bum solenoid and a noisy vanos are two totally different issues, and the former does not usually effect power, while the latter can.. However, its much less common than the former, and, this just doesnt look like a vanos issue to me.

[madsedan]

I'm with paul on this one, check the chip out.

It's been checked. It's fake.
