Videos of my dyno. comments abt the hp curve at high rpm?

hello,

i've been a busy little bee this past week, getting stuff fitted onto my car, having it tuned and detailed...

anyway, i made some videos of my car getting dyno tuned. i combined the good bits into one clip to share with all of you:

also, a few screenshots showing my hp/torque curves.

what do you guys think of the plateau after 6000rpm? is it the cylinder head, stock exhaust manifold restricting the power or is it a tuning issue?

cheers :)

Nice video mate. Your engine sounds great.

As for the plateau after 6K RPM I think it may be the exhaust. If you put something with a better air flow I think the engine will rev more freely and give you some extra BHP.

Where did you tune your car? How much did you pay for that? I'm interested on remapping my Z4MC when I get it but I would like to get dyno plots before and after the remap so I can compare my gains.

the exhaust eh? wow, i've already removed everthing between the stock exhaust manifold and my ACS rear muffler and replaced it with mandrel bent pipes and a small crossover H-pipe to help with low rpm drone.

the only thing remaining that's stock are my manifolds... :x more money to be spent i guess.

i got my car tuned at my friend's shop, over here in singapore. he charges around 500-700GBP for a reflash. i haven't paid a single cent though as he's gone off to prepare for an upcoming endurance race at sepang, malaysia and refused any form of payment...for now.... he said: "just drive your car first, we'll talk about price after i get back"

cheers
