Dyno Numbers
Hey everyone,
I took my 2009 X6 50i in for 3 pulls on a Dyno. The numbers break down as follows: 1. Peak WHP 385.3 @ 5400RPM and Peak Torque 421.2ft-lb 2. Peak WHP 387.1 @ 5550RPM and Peak Torque 426.3ft-lb 3. Peak WHP 394.8 @ 5200RPM and Peak Torque 433.2ft-lb All the runs were done around 5200' feet above sea level (Denver). I was surprised to see these numbers put down, and would love to hear from anyone that has any comparison pulls. FWIW, I had my dealer attempt to install the Dinan Stage 1 software upgrade, but they reported to me that it didn't finish (another post). So these numbers should be stock (although they seem really high to me). Anyone else have any Dyno numbers for stock or with any software upgrades that they'd care to share? Thanks! |

Steve Dinan says...
Last weekend, Steve Dinan was in Calgary and gave a series of talks and Q&A. Had no idea but my dealer here is the biggest installer of Dinan anywhere, apparently - go figure.
Anyway, someone asked him about dyno'ing. To roughly paraphrase, Steve said that any dyno not at the engine was pretty much worthless in terms of comparison. There are simply too many variables at each machine, between machines, and even between vehicles, for it to be anything other than interesting trivia. He also talked a lot about mods, the pro's and cons of each. A very cool discussion. You get the sense that Dinan are after doing a real, fulsome upgrade/mod, not just slapping on parts for gonzo effect. |
