Take 4: Vishnu 335i: Tested the new Dealership ECU update on the dyno

OpenFlash · 11-17-2006, 06:48 PM

Just dyno tested a 335i that recently had it's ECU updated by the dealership. Yes, the same infamous update that people have reported a power loss with. Any guess on how it did compared to the dyno results of my once stock car (with no ECU update). FWIW, my car put down 270-275whp and 280-285lbft of torque on the same very dyno.

Any guesses??

This is a trick question; MORE!

kingbriani · 11-17-2006, 07:05 PM

i'm thinking more too, 275-280 whp and about the same torque

tommithy · 11-17-2006, 07:05 PM

I'd say probably the same

You are killin me, give us the answer??????????????????????

Come on bro, can't wait....MORE POWER????Yeah-right!!!

OpenFlash · 11-17-2006, 07:37 PM

What's all this? First everyone was worried that the update would rob you of power. How you all are thinking that it may improve power? What a bunch of flip-floppers!

lol

e92law · 11-17-2006, 07:38 PM

Fixed the cold start right? Usually run a dyno shortly after starting the car, so hopefully better numbers?

i thought it turned out the guy who lost power after the reflash just had a tech forget to reset his fuel pump computer or something. or was that something else? i'm confused. whats the answer!!?

BMWnation · 11-17-2006, 08:05 PM

Come on MR Indian, give us the numbers???

This is cruel and usual punishment. When i make it down to SF this spring.....i'll remember this and somehow make you pay.

kingbriani · 11-17-2006, 09:18 PM

shiv isnt even online anymore. i bet he's getting a big kick out of this. i am glad he finally started take 4 though, take 3 was getting pretty bloated. shiv, when can we see pics of the switch??!

sflgator · 11-17-2006, 09:21 PM

Hello...is there anybody...OUT THERE? (for those Pink Floyd fans)

Anyhow, I bet it dyno'd the same, right Shiv?

OpenFlash · 11-17-2006, 09:29 PM

No one thinks it is putting down less power? We got a forum full of optimists!!!

Saying "more" or "less" doesn't cut it guys. How much more or less is far more interesting. Come uuhhnn... Come uuuuhhhnnnn... (southpark reference)

-shiv

kingbriani · 11-17-2006, 09:33 PM

280 whp, 285 ft-lbs

335i=:) · 11-17-2006, 09:44 PM

I dunno much about how much one car differs from another of the same model on a dyno. I would think it would be withing 5 whp give or take.

ON the other hand.........it's probably lower cuz there feeling the pain of the m3's not movin?

sflgator · 11-17-2006, 09:50 PM

Shiv,

You do know that it's 10PM on the east coast and some of us would like some answers before going to bed in 1 hour!
