So said by a man who must have got a bad reading...

we found that it varied.. There are a lot of wonky RRs out there but Dastek ain't one of them..

Yip, standard on the 525i is 192.

When manufacturers test the BHP the engine's are tighter than a you know what. If you are talking about my 525i which gave 196, it has done 73'000 so is just about run-in. I was always of the impression that any car which is totally standard (like mine), that gives the manufacturer's quoted BHP after it has done 50'000 is actually under-performing.

Therefore, a standard e34 525i should put out about 196 - like mine!!! Showing that Dastek's RR is spot on.

well, popped along today to watch the scottishcruise.com girls and boys, a couple of bmw owners there including M77 TEC 318iS black m3 lookalike, and his pal with the silver 328i (sorry lads, couldn't remember your names ) and a black m3 evo saloon H1 XLL, never got to speak to the owner though. 

turned up just after 2pm after id been to kartstart, the p&j said it was from 2pm - 5pm, but when i got there there were only a couple of cars left to run, they'd been at it since 10:30!

costs?  £25 for RWD / £30 for 4WD for 4 runs with a printed sheet, dyno supplied and fitted by Dastek

Anyone fancy a group booking?

I think after the turnout last time.. Gerry will give me a good rate for a weekend slot.. but we'll have to think of a date and then wait.. expect 3-4 month waiting time for a weekend slot so best we get in early...

Nice wee write up Wendy.. cheers. Saw the pics for Gaydon.. def gonna get M 8LUR down there for the Zed and Modified comps next year.

Did you see my controversial remaks, I made at the awards evening.. about Madonna.. ?? aye she deserves it the money grabbing charlotte..

Are you running GruppeM induction.. or is the map for std induction..? GruppeM run different maps depending on set-up..

Hi Jon,

Are you confusing GruppeN with GruppeM ?

I'm running an unshielded K&N type cone filter.

I had a good look at tiggers gruppeM induction kit whilst at dastek, and they look really pretty, and as tiggers dyno plot shows, they obviously reap good gains. It's just a pity even the replicas are £200 +

I did buy few sheets of stainless steel last week, if I ever find the time, I'm going to have a go at shielding my current intake.

I've no idea what setup the map on the gruppeN chip was written for .... TBH, apart from who I purchased it from, I've no idea of the origins of this chip.

Would be intresting to get the car on RR again, with the stock chip.

Craig.
