Next day after I bought it, I did a major service my myself at home; I changed all fluids, filters, spark plugs… etc., and fitted the AD Engineering thermostat block off.
Naturally, I was curious how much power it made bone stock, before starting the mod journey.
It made 205rwkW (274.9hp) at Nizpro in Bayswater in Melbourne. The event was organised by
tawfeeqh (thanks again mate, and sad to see you sell your car, and leave the platform).
This was the highest stock N54 record, on average they seem to do in the ballpark of 170-195rwkW (228-261.5hp). Nizpro’s own development car pulled 168rwkW (225.3hp) on the same dyno, so that was interesting to know. My car must have been built on a Wednesday haha
Knowing the motor was very healthy was certainly a good start to a lengthy modding journey to come.
