    Default I put my car on the dyno

    Here's the dyno graph the power is in KW and the torque in NM, both at the wheels. hmm, I assumed max power was around 5700 rpm, what do you guys think? I'm assuming a 25% drivetrain loss, thats around 177 kw / 237 hp (power) and 332 nm / 245ft/lb (torque) at the crankshaft. I have stock internals with the eat chip and cold air intake running on 98 RON optimax. What power / torque figures are other guys getting here for the m30? I thought I would get around 120kw at the wheels. I'm happy. sorry no video or pics.

    An eat chip really gives that much more power?

    Paul you can see the max figures underneath the graph. I thought the graph is pretty easy to read, power on the left and torque on the right. Incantation - I was assuming a 20% driveline loss for manuals and 25% for autos. What do you say is it? The runs where made in 3rd gear which I think is the 1:1 ratio.
