#91475, "should i go for another dyno run before winter?"
hey guys, havent posted in a while due to me getting a new winter car. but in any case, i wanted some feedback on wether or not i should push my car even further. my last dyno run was earlier this year before summer, i thought the car did pretty well. but since then, ive upgraded the exhaust to a full 3", had a new mani made, added a profec bII. as for the car itself, i cant kill it! since the summer, it's been getting beat on @12psi w/stock injectors and a stock bottom end! . i have 450's to drop in and have been contemplating on wether or not to run it on last time on the dyno. seeing that winter is pretty much here (i live in canada)if i do blow it up, ill have some time to rebuild it. so, should i?
btw my last dyno was a little under the 200whp mark @5psi. what do you guys think it'll run now? i actually drove it the other day and it still drives like a champ!so different going from a rwd to fwd! thanks for the feedback!

im in ontario! there is only a handfull of us here and i can only think of one other member that posts here. i do remember reading some really old posts of a guy named strauss that used to come and drag at our strip. he used to have a really fast 2gnt but other than that, only 4g63's live here.
yeah i think im gonna go for it. i would love to see my shit blow up on the dyno!

hahaha if you do it, get it in video your dyno run of 200whp on 5psi was already pretty (okay, really) impressive, it would be wicked to see what you can do on 12psi.

i dont know what the plugs look like. i replaced them in the summer with irridiums. but yeah, i think one of the reasons why it hasnt blown on me yet is the fact that i use 94 octane gas. if i do take it to the dyno, im sure ill be raising the boost to at least a bar. w/450 bluetops
aggression, are you using a mbc now?
blizare, rwd rocks my ass. i just bought a 92 325i 5spd for my winter beater. my friends had no idea bmws can go sideways!

I don't know how you run 12 psi on stock injectors dood? Ever pull and read your plugs?? They prolly look like Pine trees at Christmas time EDIT: and hell yea is there a difference between FWD and RWD. RWD is fun and FWD isn't
Argh! Don't say shit like this Blair. You're misleading people with the whole 10psi thing. Running 10psi on your t25 is a HUGE difference than running 10psi on a s16g, s20g or a 46trim t3/t4. The airflow numbers are very different.
Here's a tip ... if you're having shaky feelings on doing something ... don't do it unless you completely understand what you're doing and are willing to accept the consequences of a mishap.
I know someone is going to read this and try to run 12psi on a stock motor and injectors and wonder why it blew the fuck up.

nono... ive already accepted the fact that if my worst case scenario was that it blew up, then i wouldnt be screwed for getting around. thats one of the few reasons why i bought another car. as far as knowing what posibilities/capabilities are with my setup, im ready to see it does on the dyno.
i just wanted to know other people's thoughts on what i should do given my scenario
