Not natively, but apparently it runs well with VMware / windows 10

You can also use VirtualBox (it's free!) instead of VMware or Parallels.

Make sure you have these exact column headings and only have 100% accelerator (TPS) rows in the CSV file

I found that when entering the column headings from the MHD log in the settings it works as well:

Yep, that'll work.

As long as the column heading match the header from the csv it's all OK.

Thank you! I'll check that out tonight and see if it works with MacOS Catalina.

First real dry day this year 8°C / 48°F

Ran the same flat stretch of road.

Same 99RON fuel on each run.

Only ran the 95RON maps as the 98RON don't run well with -6 timing corrections.

Mods: 200 Cell DP, TU HPFP

Results from the Virtual Dyno.

Stock: 300 whp
MPPSK: 336 whp
MHD Stage 1 95RON: 388 whp
MHD Stage 2 95RON: 402 whp

I plan to run the MHD E30 Stage 1, 2, 2+ as a comparison in the next week on E37 fuel.

EDIT: Air temperature dropped to 8°C

Hi

Anyone else having this problem? Running latest 1.8.3. Windows 10 all updates installed...

harkes · 12-30-2021, 08:15 AM

After editing my .csv in Excel it is being saved as semi-colon separated instead of comma. I spent two hours trying to figure out what how to fix this... The list separator in Windows setting is already set with comma and in Excel also.....WTF?!?!

I believe I've had that as well. Just continue and it should work.
Sometimes you need to restart the app and or Windows because it doesn't always import the .csv files properly. At least that's what I've found.

Do you import the .csv files or do you just open them?
I don't import them because I also don't know how to properly save them. I just open the .csv file and delete the rows that are not full throttle and then save it.

Here is the log from the dyno. Can you check in the program? This dyno featured 690BHP. 860NM.

You cannot use a dyno log. It must be from the road as power is calculated from mass and acceleration.

So that is the problem I have. When I save it, Excel saves it as a semi-colon separated CSV instead of comma = fail

Its pretty close, torque is a bit off.

harkes · 12-30-2021, 08:05 PM

CSV problem solved!

Using CSVed to edit which is great

IMS-340C · 06-25-2022, 03:36 AM

Is that the actual numbers from the dyno ? what's that 64 peak torque unit ? why no torque parameter showing 860 NM ?

This seems very accurate. I always suspected I was in the ~530awhp range.
Daw Turbo on E40, stock timing (10.5 - 11 degrees). 27-28 psi.

OR0213 · 01-29-2024, 12:15 AM

My numbers seem kinda low? 2017 m240 st2 (MHD) E30 in the tank

B58 · 02-02-2024, 10:15 PM

Great thread. I just set mine up. I used Virtual Dyno with my 335is and I'm happy I came across this.

I have the Doc Race 6266BB flex fuel tuned on DI only. Attached with 2 of my recent logs.
