So I recently got my car dyno'ed to see where I am currently at before I go FBO and Tune. I put down some decent numbers on the DynoJet.

That's' pretty strong for basically stock. FBO + tune should provide some nice numbers. Are you going bm3 Stage 2? Post an update when you dyno after your mods.

But it’s not really “stock”, right? Isn’t the MPPK a basically a tune from BMW? It’s just not as strong as aftermarket tunes.

I’m still trying to figure out if intakes do anything.

Nope... in some cases reduces power...

This MPPK Dynojet run is a bit interesting, but I think what's influencing it is the really high correction factor because the car is being run in really hot and humid temps thus the correction factor is a whopping 1.06.

Typically on a Dynojet, a stock MPPK equipped car (say an M235) will see 300-310whp and 320-330wtq. The higher numbers being the 6MT cars. I've seen a handful of F3X series Dynojets of MPPK equipped cars and they show very similar numbers (as they should). The HP/TQ of this particular 435 MPPK seems to be flip-flopped. HP seems a bit to high and TQ a bit too low. Again, I think the Dynoject correction factor is likely influencing this.

FYI, stock M2s see 330-340whp on the Dynojet, though they are making 360wtq+.

And as others noted, intakes don't do anything for power.

Dynos show that intakes do add power. Its 5-10 HP on a very short RPM range thats why most dont even feel the increase.

Correct. Not stock.

I TOTALLY MISSED THE MPPK PART...

Nice numbers. Thanks for posting! Now I know what ballpark mine's at as well!

Subscribed for FBO numbers!!!

Is that with the hood open and a fan on it, or with the hood closed?

[JaredG_F30]

The CAI doesnt' really help reduce IATs as the air is superheated by the turbo when it's compressed. Your FMIC impacts IATs the most. What the aftermarket CAI does for a turbocharged car is reduce the restriction in the intake tract which allows the turbo to spool faster, although the impact is minimal since the stock intake is well designed. Similar benefits can be had by simply replacing the stock air filter element with a less restrictive one.

This ^

The benefit of getting an intake vs a filter is that the intake sounds better

I’m fairly green to this platform, where is the IAT sensor located?

I went AFE dry filter... might eventually do the Mppk box mod... that'll give you sound and the best airflow your gonna get..

Honeslty I'm not sure where the physical sensor it. It would have to be post FMIC and pre-intake manifold runners.

I went with the CTS turbo intake and I love it.

Same. I already have MPPK and just dropped in a Pipecross high flow filter.

I want to try something different. I am thinking about trying the Turner Motorsports tune as it just came out.

Yeah, for me it is stock as my car is a ZHP and it came with those add ons from the factory. The only mod i have done so far myself is the CTS Turbo Intake, which sounds great.

+1 CTS Turbo intake. IT sounds great. The MPPK intake is louder than stock but does not compare to an aftermarket one in terms of sound.

Same. K&N. Might try a dry one.

Just installed the Turner intercooler, Stage 2 tune and the FTP charge pipe and Boost pipe. Working on a full review write up and video now. The car pulls hard above 3K all the way to the redline. Butt dyno says it added about 50HP and maybe 80 Tq. rough estimates but I am planning to dyno it very soon. I will keep everyone updated.

[NCG80M3]

Just posted the video of the install process for the tune and some driving clips. I planned to have it dyno'd this week.
