Oh, OK, got it, my M shows 50 Cs and up to 150 Cs the middle being 100 Cs. It ussualy runs a tad over 100 when a push it really hard.

I refuse to use a Dynojet because it is far too easy to lower the base numbers. If I use the same dyno (not Dynojet) for both runs, within two hours of each other, what is your concern? There will still be a substantial gain if your claims are accurate and your product really is that good.
The reason I'm so adamant about this topic is because I've seen a number of pulleys for this car, and all are roughly the same diameter and weight. Futhermore, I haven't heard of a power gain of more than 9hp. Unless you've used some special type of aluminum for the construction, I cannot see how a 21hp gain is possible. You've challenged me, and I've accepted. I'm not changing my mind in any way, I just want reliable test results. I do know a little bit about cars, and I know that under the conditions I specified there will not be as substantial a gain as you've claimed. I have no problem coming to Socal as early as next week to do the test. Quote:

Yes, any dyno will show a gain. However, there are some dyno's that read significantly higher or lower then a dynojet. It would be very easy for you to pick one with low readings to skew the results. Dynojet is the standard in the industry, if you don't trust in that piece of equipment, then there is not much more to say really. thanks Brad

Well then I'll continue to call you out. It's easy to lower the base numbers on a Dynojet and then correct this for a second run once the pulley system is installed, thus producing your dyno chart. I stand by my point: all pulley kits by all manufacturers are roughly the same diameter and weight, there is no way you can have a 21hp gain while the others have 9hp.

To those that have been supportive, thanks. To those that just want to make derogatory comments without any knowledge of the product or our company, well you can have this thread. It is not worth the time to argue with people who are not equipped with any facts, just with cynicism and negativity. Have a great weekend! Thanks Brad

However, I am not sure how you could show more then 10 hp more then your competitors? : So show us the light the man and we'll follow! I'll be the first phone call you have; overnighting EVOSPORT PULLEYS and installing them the next day if you can prove this or explain for the time being what makes your product 10hp+ better then your competitions! Thanks!

While I dont have an e90/e92/e93 as of yet, I do have the Evosport Pullies on my E36 and when I installed them the results were similar as advertised for my application.
Having been in this industry for quite some time, I have never known Evosport to be dishonest. The honesty, reputation, and commitment to their customers have kept me as a long time customer and a company that I refer others to. If one is really questioning the results of these pullies, then why not purchase them and try them for yourself rather than assuming what the results are going to be. At that point, if you are unhappy with the results, I am confident Evosport will work with you so that all parties are satisfied. I do have an E90 on order and upon its arrivial I will be installing Evosport Pullies on it and will report my results. |

Second pic is the M6 with stock pulleys driving in rush hour. (Depending on the ambient temp, I could be one or two needlewidths warmer than the middle meatball). BTW, notice the fuel economy? Look at the fuel guage and trip odo It is in kilometers.

I envy your "clean" speedometer deeply, and once again curse at our luck for being stuck in the stone age here with a speedo littered with dozens of numbers everywhere...

Sorry Brad, but sometimes you will have to deal with consumer skepticism. What will not drive sales is you responding to those questions by calling them "derogatory" and ignorant instead of answering them in a friendly way. I am "equipped" with what most would consider a decent amount of knowledge in this industry, most of which I thank the helpful vendors and distributors for instilling in me. Unfortunately, I can't thank you for doing such. Becoming frustrated with your consumers shouldn't be a part of your business plan. I have never had any issues with EVOSport products, but I am not alone in waiting to see proof of such gains from consumer testing.
EDIT: See, now this is all we were looking for: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=162024 Now, I can add this to my list of possible future modifications, well done! There is nothing wrong with a little dose of skepticism. I apologize if I came off wrong in my post, I just wanted to provide you with the consumer point of view. -Carl

Agreed. I have nothing wrong with skepticism. But re-read the thread. People were calling us scam artists, saying we were BS, etc. That is totally beyond the realm of healthy skepticism, don't you think? To me that is just not called for and sets the tone.
I am glad you found that other thread! thanks brad

The DCT is driven off of the crank via a belt and pulley. There are some additional considerations that we are testing to make sure that under driving the DCT will not compromise the drive quality of the car.
As it is now, DCT cars are having a lot of issues at the track and during hot runs. We need to see what impact under driving that pulley will have. This will be rectified soon. Thanks Brad
