VF620 Dyno Run w/ RPi X Pipe

Hi Guys,

I just got done dyno'ing my car @ EAS. My baseline dyno was 532whp 353tq with OEM mufflers and running 91 octane (STD). I recently installed the RPi x pipe and wanted to re dyno to see how much power I made. I pulled an amazing 580whp and 379tq (STD)...that's +48whp and +26tq just from an X Pipe. Since we were so close to 600whp I asked Tom if we can throw in 5 gallons of 109 octane just to see what we can get. I put down 601whp and 391tq!!!! We were all amazed! BIG THANKS to Tom & Steve at EAS, Race Precision, and VF Engineering!

STD Smoothing 5 w/ Air Fuel


SAE Smoothing 5 w/ Air Fuel


SAE Smoothing 5 w/ BOOST


UNCORRECTED Smoothing 5

Great #'s Joe, I didn't think race gas would add that much, it never has for me, might have to try it again next dyno. Awesome results, and THANK YOU for posting the boost graphs! The Airstrip event is going to have a nice amount of Boosted E9x M3's.

Joe, just so I'm clear on this....your internals are stock, you just have an x-pipe and no other mods? And you pulled that down with a little less than 8 lbs of boost?

Awesome numbers, but I have couple of questions. How was boost measured and how come there is a variance in boost between runs? I guess the answer to the first may answer the second. I though the VF kit produced 6 - 6.5 psi at sea level and since the boost is mechanically tied to engine speed, I don't see where the delta comes from.

Thanks...

Race Pipe = no cats or resonators. Exhaust is LOUD at over 120dB, everyone was covering their ears in the shop at WOT.

Joe: Congrats on getting into the 600 club!

Carbonfoot stated earlier in the thread: conditions.

Runs 11 & 17 alone on the conditions will show a 30F difference in outside temp, as the runs were on different days in our facility.

Amazing what difference freeing up the exhaust does on these boosted S65B40s!

Congrats on the huge gains!

Great gains. With a high flow muffler setup ( akra slip-on), I can't imagine what it'll put down!

How much power does a rear exhaust add on a supercharged car? It adds nothing or very little on a naturally aspirated car. A good x-pipe adds up to about 25 rwhp on a naturally aspirated car, so I see those gains being leveraged by boost on a supercharged car.

correct, we were expecting around +30whp for sure with the x-pipe initially. next we want the rest of the RPI setup mainly to improve the sound, but the real gains of an exhaust are from the x-pipe/cat delete.

The variance is there because of the weather

I don't think just adding mufflers will gain anything.
