I like the Bluetooth adjustment and the fact it has a valet mode for it.

It may be a month or so before I re-dyno the car, as it's just too fracking hot right now. But that's Ok in that it will give it some adjustment time.





I did some data logging while driving around today. Here's two different samples. One in Sport+ (+3psi) and one with it set to Stock (0psi). This is done with the Torque App on my tablet and data rendered with MegaLog Viewer off the .csv file.

Sport+




Stock

what are your thoughts on it? noticeable power? would you say that it has made shifts more abrupt/jerky?

I didn't really notice much change in the shifting personally. I think this car in Sport / Sport+ has pretty quick shifts with the auto8 anyway.
My butt dyno would say there's more power there, I wouldn't call it dramatic, but the throttle feels a little more responsive and the car is faster. Now I already have the MPPK, so I'm not coming from pure stock. I did some quick time in Race mode coming back from the store (93oct here), it didn't feel much more than Sport+, but then it's also only supposed to add +1psi and we're only talking a few minutes with it and no real area to get on it. A dyno will be more revealing.
But hey it's 300.00, single connection to add and remove. Don't have to pull the battery and it can change settings through the Bluetooth app.

Technically you can but I wouldn't recommend it. Mainly for public safety reasons.

would you say the difference between stock/mppk or mppk/dinansport was more noticeable?

I couldn't give you a good answer on that for two reasons. I had the MPPK installed right after break-in (1265 miles I think it was ?), so I really didn't run the car hardly stock in its break-in period to give a good comparo. Plus it was about a year ago and my butt dyno doesn't have that good of a memory (I'm old)


Besides Butt dyno's lie. How much difference is really being made comes from a good set of dynos and/or track runs to look at trap speed. I have a good set of dynos (stock and MPPK) and I have one trip to the 1/4 track. But like I mentioned before I want to let it cool back down here first.

Run on a local COBB AWD Mustang dyno. Stock was 272HP / 274TQ w/ MPPK was 288HP / 298TQ

A note from this morning driving into work a little after 6:00am The car definitely felt stronger even in comfort mode. Outside temps were down to 84-85 degrees. I'm sure that had something to do with it. Also I set it back to Sport+ vs Race before I left.

Completely agree with this observation. I set car to Comfort Mode and the Dinan to Sport+ (3psi). and drove to work which is a combination of side streets and 1-10 rush hour traffic.
On the freeway, The 2000rpm-3000rpm pull is very nice. Certainly stronger than in stock form. I like having the ability to get out of my own way without the trans feeling the need to downshift, or driving in sport mode in traffic (yes, I'm that guy that darts to the open spot).
Temps where around 88 degrees here in Houston. I'm impressed with this device.
MPPK is next for me.

interesting. i remember when my car was stock, comfort mode was undriveable for me because of the lack of torque/pull in the lower rev range. mppk improved the power enough that I now drive in comfort happily 90 percent of the time. looks like the dinansport takes that up a notch

i see that u got 312hp/315tq on the dynojet too. that is a strong reading. looks like ur car is a good one =)

Dear Dinan_Engineering,

Any plan on setting up a group buy for the members in this forum?

No. Would be in violation of our own MAP (minimum advertised price) policy. Equal playing field for all distributors and vendors and all that.

Yeah since I have a baseline with the MPPK on that dyno I may go back there. He's closer and a little bit cheaper on the cost.

For those who have installed this, can you comment on drivability? Is it still as smooth as stock (or with PPK)? Any harsh/hesitant shifts?

I think the trans is smoother in comfort mode.
Sport is fine too, even though sport is still a little jerky in the low speed downshift, but it was like this when stock.

U must be taking nights right. It's 88 probably at midnight lol

Thanks for all reviewstates. Convince me. Still going to take off when being service but 1 min I can spare

how would you say the dinantronics sport drives in comparison to the bms stage 1 you had? power/smoothness/etc

Better. I think the bms might have been trying too hard. If that makes any sense...

As always you're always posting real data! Thx for that
What was the 1/4 mile run? Hows the weather right now over there?
