So after my 11.9 and a bit more tuning, I decided to dyno my car. I have to say it feels much faster and super smooth, but I wanted to see first hand. So I called around town and the only dyno I could get on was a Dyno Dynamics. I have no clue if it's low or high, but from what I have seen online, a few compared it to a Mustang dyno, but I'm making no claims as to the % of difference. If anyone can find that information and post something I would appreciate the feedback.

Side note: You'll see in my logs that I have a throttle closure. Fortunately that issue is now fixed even though that was not causing any issues with regard to the performance of the car or at least it wasn't noticeable. Once I feel my car is dialed in, I'll return to the same dyno to get a comparison. Every day it seems we find something new as we are going through pushing the limits with our Advance COBB Tuning.

Also, please note that I'm no longer running higher timing. After this dyno, I loaded a high timing map. I made 457.7 whp and 510 wtq. I personally don't see that as being a large enough gain to risk running higher timing considering we can control torque output much better through our Advanced COBB tuning rather than blindly throwing timing at the car to achieve the desired results.

So what do I have?

'07 E92 335i Sport AT on E50
COBB v3 - Best Tuning Platform hands down...
Aquamist HFS4 - 20/80 mix for cooling
Walbro 455 inline booster
AFE Stage II Pro
ER CP
Forge DVs
HPF 7" FMIC
VRSF catless DPs
Quaife LSD - Best MOD - Car actually likes to go sideways now.
Stock E92 Catback
Stock Rims with Toyo Proxy T1's

I'm driving out tomorrow!! You can have a look through my car. Very similar in mods as you know!

Great power Ken. I dyno'd my own e50 tune yesterday with two different timing maps - one with 12 degrees peak and one with 13.5 degrees peak. Same map contour on both just taper to reach different peak values. Anyways, the 12 degree map made 4 whp and 8 wtq more after the being heat soaked with three 13.5 degree runs. It is just one data point but enough to convince me more is not always better.

[Stucks]

Awesome results Ken!

[///Mposter]

Nice! Subscribed.

[Msport335]

sweet! is this dyno with meth?

[OB]

awesome numbers, I'm in for some logs of multi gear pulls. If you can solve the timing drops for my protuned e50 6AT then you'll have another customer to your list.

Looking forward to hanging out.

[Tiago@VRSF]

Very nice! Impressive as always.

I'm spraying, but it was only using 20% meth washer mix. I ran out of meth and picked it up on the way to dyno. I really don't need it, but it works... The mix helps keep the engine nice and clean.

[335NJ]

Nice numbers!

I shouldn't have even come into this thread, I'm having serious turbo envy. My n55 can barely hold 15PSI to 5500RPM. I seriously regret not buying a 2010.

We haven't done much with the N55 platform yet other than the PROcede with Meth, but we will. If you have a COBB and would like assistance with making your car perform better, let us know. I think you'll find that your car will actually make some really good numbers, we just need to find them. Won't be N54 numbers, but numbers you'll be very happy with.

510 lb of torque...

So you are no longer running oft maps with e85 and 15 degree timing?

No hes not, 15° or more of advance timing support is being decommission from its usage as there is more than one way to increase whp and wtq without having to stress the engine that much which has been proven to be a total waste with how we are tuning now

We will strickly follow COBB's example model of max timing which is 13.5° of advance on E85 mix, and even that will sometimes have to be lowered "depending" on the power level that car is at, fuel availability, and mods. Some cars like it and other cars dont.

No Two Cars Are The Same

We STRONGLY recommend the COBB AP as it has the ability to monitor critically needed parameters in order to obtain acceptable power levels instead of "shooting in the dark" when tuning.

So is ken tuning cobb maps? Are the wedge tuned cobb maps available for others to download to their cobb?

[Myrder]

Nice numbers, but hasn't it been known for a while anything over 14* isn't worth the risk for the power (if there is power even)...

Since you did a dyno dynamics(reads low) those values should be close to a new record. Try to get on a dynojet and see whats up.

If your asking if the COBB maps we are sending out are unlocked, yes they are. Our maps have been designed for end user adjustablity, if you want more boost or lower boost all you have to do is change one cell. Change anything else and you will be

However we tune it to yours specific car maxing out the turbo's "efficiency" so the only way to go is "down" most of the time. If you try to go up it will tell you right away no no. If the weather gets REALLy cold and you see a drop in boost then you can go up just a tiny bit

Since two cars are never alike, if you try sharing the same map with another car there will be instability and limp issues and someone will be very unhappy

The "SelfTuned" maps by us are not free so the end user needs to think about if they are going to try and share a map they paid for with someone else and risk the chance of getting limp.


The difference between "SelfTuned" maps and "ProTuned" maps is one is locked and the other is not

Also SelfTuners are not recognised or certified by COBB, ProTuner are recognised and certified by COBB
