S54 Dyno Database

[Anri]

Hi Anri,

I wasn't actually operating the dyno myself so can't confirm if the dyno fan was left running between passes / refashing the ECU or not, but I can confirm we did back to back runs on the same final tune and even after repeated passes the result was within 2whp. It's only natural that if engine is left standing without airflow, IAT will rise resulting in ECU reducing ignition timing and knock out lower power figures. I'd assume the guys are EAS have a good cooling setup to simulate road airflow so runs should be accurate in comparison of how the car will perform on the road in the real world.

On my own dyno I have a good cooling setup that i've setup simulate similar to road airflow conditions, as well as using the eddy brake control to set a ramp time that would be similar to the actual acceleration time on flat tarmac. We weren't shooting for social media numbers or anything like that, simply Blau's S54 is a particularly strong one so it made higher than usual numbers following tuning. I've tuned many of these engines and have also experienced a couple that make significantly better power than the majority of others. Why that is I don't know - maybe i'll get to strip one of them down one day and make some measurements and tests to find out

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your reply.

Okay, looks like EAS Dyno is using 2 large and 2 small fans.

The second guy (driver side) fan which is shooting air directly to the Air filter, ones I
did this exact location and direct air to the air filter with the same exact fan and that
pass was ~3-4 RWHP more than other passes. The more forced air is pushed inside
the air box the more oxygen will be in % which is resulting little power gains.

Yes I am aware of the fact that you are abroad, but you know, till you upload the file
online engine must be off etc, re flash etc and the fans stay on and few
degrees on the water temp and few on the oil cooler and then ones you start the
engine the chilled fluids rush and cools down the block head and chamber then that
will be strongest pass, so basically what I was asking on the hot passes is about 345ish.


The dyno I do all of my work is using exact the same large fan as seen in the back
at EAS but it's only 1. So I am missing 3 fans. For sure if I put our S54 at EAS will maintain
the 354 +/- exact what you experienced.

A single fan is not enough to simulate let say 80-90mph air pressure build in the front
nose and specially with the unique S54 radiator ducting design, also the unique air
ducting to the air filter box.

As long as CR is good, leak down is good, Camshaft in the proper location, vanos as
well we should see strong result. In S54 engine design there are several
factors must be in a good order otherwise results are not as expected.

How random this is the S54 I put together makes exact 348RWHP as well.

Anri

^^^ Thanx for posting and providing mod details...and nice max power results for the relatively simple mods. However, low end torque figures look typical for an S54 w/single exhaust. How many miles on the car?

Cool, thanx!

Thonas Congrats bro, really nice numbers. Excited to see your torque figures as I'll be going SS stepped and oversize dual throughout. Im at 325/250 whp/wtw on dynojet now (turner csl map, oe euro header, scza) , a little more oomph in the midrange never hurt anyone.

I’ll update mine, ~770 whp and 700 ft lbs. The BW maxed at 25psi, I’m planning on ordering a xona rotor hopefully. The afr was lower by .5 or so on the wideband in the car but still looking a little lean.

Wow, those are some big numbers!! Your car certainly goes to 11

Those are some very srs numbers sir, thanx for posting!

Nice numbers man!! What BW turbo are you running? Turbo manifold?

Thanks! It is a maxpsi e85 kit with Spa manifold and the BW 364.5 sx-e

So what should I do next for more NA HP? Is the next step cams?

Yep. Though, I think that the current setup is solid as is. The funds might be better spent on a few DEs or track days.
