a good place to dyno
Hey everyone,
I'm looking for a good place to get a dyno, I want to get it done in the Northern Virginia area. Do I have to go all the way out to GW or ISP? Thanks in advanced. |

You should really pick a dyno and stick with it as you mod your car. That way you can see the numbers change/increase through the modding process. That type is used for emissions testing. It is not reated or recommended to use for a hp/tq reading. |

Have you found a place yet?
I was thinking about using Mach V in Sterling.
They have a dynojet but it seems like anytime anyone goes there they have some 'trouble' with their ignition sensor and therefore can't get a torque reading. I also like the folks at CBRD (especially since they bought my old Evo IX from me a few years ago), and I trust that they know what they're doing, but it's a 1.5 hour drive from my house (Leesburg). Any other thoughts? |

Bogdan!
I didn't recognized the name at first You're my service adviser at Passport BMW for my wife's AW E93 M3. I just brought it in a month or so ago for the break-in service and we chatted about mods and racing, etc. The problem I'm having is that the M3 feels slow compared to my M5. I know it's the slowest E9x M3 you can buy being a convertible and 6-speed but still ... that's the reason I'm looking to get a baseline dyno (make sure she's healthy) and then throw some parts at it and see if I can get it closer to the M5 (apparently it weighs about the same!). - Josh Quote:

Thanks, I forgot about the dyno there. I'm going to the Chantilly Curry's on Thursday for rear tires on the M5 and will check on pricing. I dynoed at their Dulles facility a few times before they sold it and remember it being a bit pricey and limited to 2 pulls.

Yeah, it's me. I can't hide anywhere. Well, if the Dyno reads low, then it's an excuse to throw some mods at it. Yes, the E93 is a boat anchor. Sorry. Still, if I wanted a convertible, it would absolutely top my list! I've seen dyno's as low as 308 rwhp on the M3's. Still, it's all relative to the dyno, day, conditions, etc.. etc... |

Good to see you on here ...
Honestly, the engine sounds so damn sexy with the top down I almost don't care how slow it is ... it sounds like it's fast as hell and that's half the experience Quote:

If you like it now, get the Macht Schnell airfilter. The sound from the intake will be louder!

So true. I'm bringing it in this week and I want 400 lbs removed under warranty!
Yeah I was going to get that or the BMC filter, although they supposedly were redesigning theirs to fit better? |
