Anybody up for a dyno day? (Ottawa)
 

Just putting this out there, because I've been wanting to do a baseline dyno of the 540. I figure we could make a day of it, and if we had enough people interested maybe we could get a discount.:)

What do you guys think?

Think a very good idea, to add should also make a day for Mark D to come up to Ottawa and chip our cars for us.

raf does the mark D chips..

do they make them for the e36 318i Ecu? ... I saw them on ebay they give a gain of like 25hp or something ... hmmm?

25 hp? If you really believe that then I've got a bridge to sell to you.

I know he can get the "Chips" off of Mark D (OBDI) but can he re-program OBDII's flash memory that is non-removable?

I'd be up for a dyno day to get the 'before' snapshot in case I ever get around to doing what one would consider the results "after".

Tapp auto, or who?

Yeah, I figure Tapp. I think they're the only chassis dyno in town anyway.

And for sure, having Mark D come up would be really cool, but I'm sure we would need a fair number of people before he would commit. I also don't think Raph does OBD II tuning as Jeff said, which some of us would need.

if i have a bmw when this occurs :D i'd be down

still dont have that back yet gzzzzzz shity bust!

adam needing a baseline dyno number would mean that you plan to mod the e39. What are your plans for it?

edit: posted by Jesse

head and block are once again back together. Give me a date on this dyno plan so that i plan the unveiling appropriately

Bout time!! we might actulay get too see this thing go!! woooooooooo! good luck! Lee

In the same boat currently, would need at least a week still before I can even think about taking it out on the road again, Take some pics, let's see which one is in the most peices *rockout* .

Haha...I've got some ideas in my head of what I might eventually like to do, but it won't be for a long while:) . I just want to do a baseline to see what I'm working with, see how strong the engine is. One of my biggest regrets with the e30 is that I didn't do a before/after.

YES! You have to unveil it before that! This Friday be there!*par-t*

I'm thinking mid to late August to do this, how does that sound for everyone? I checked their web site, and it's $75 for 3 pulls.
