This is my "exhaust" sound... you don't really here much of any exhaust note, just air.

Air-Fuel ratio too lean, Paul? Better work on it fast...!! Sounding not unlike a vacuum cleaner already...hey..chill...just a joke!!

Actually a high compression 3.0 stroker will net you somewhere near those figures. Slightly a little bit less torque.

218rwhp is not uncommon actually for a 3.0. Your 3.0 should be somewhere near those figures for HP. My 2.8 is at 201rwhp with some mods and it's untuned.

It's not the hp but the torque figures that got me lol

I'd be ecstatic if i can 210rwhp actually but 200rwhp it's still more than good enough for me hehehe

Yeap!!! I agree with bro zhul that our 320d batch of cars already got enough performance!

Do you think it will get any better with the bluefin??

 

[docrayboy]

Perfect

Do you think it will get any better with the bluefin??

I think don't mess around with perfection, bro!

My M54B30 was on Dyno yesterday. It was atrocious, lol. I got around 185 ps and 25.7 Kg-M torque. The only problem I can see is that the car due for service (including plugs) about 100 miles ago. I wanted to see what the result going to be after changing to 0w30, NGK iridiums and K&N filters. :smokin:

I dont know about anyone else but I think its weird that GT Auto was using ps and Kg-M for their dyno instead of hp and ft-lb.

Had a look around online and found out that I should be seeing around 200 whp at stock.

P/S - I didnt get a digital copy of my dyno since my USB stix wasnt working for some reason, if anyone else got my result feel free to post it.

Thanks for sharing bro :top: Actually your figures is about right for an M54B30 for an E60 since another member with an E60 530i share similar hp figures. Maybe a software update or a remapped should bring out more horses ...

I agree, I wouldn't rechip diesel, but I'd do all sorts of nonsense to a petrol

What with the hp drop at 5k? DISA Valve or Vanos going kaput already? Theres no 5k drop on my chart but I just replaced the Vanos seal (and did a visual check). My DISA valve started rattling already but I think its still ok.

There was no feedback from the owner regarding about the power dip. Could be mechanical or there's a software issue.
