S54 Dyno Database

Thanks! Hassan was great to work with from start to finish and I can see why everyone sings his praise. I'm extremely pleased with HTE Performance/Hassan. The guys at EuroMpire suspected heat soak was occurring so perhaps those figures are slightly down.

I should have posted baseline! Added above and here.

Baseline pull with full CSL code/base map: 303.47rwhp / 250.38 rwtq

I recognize that it's not a true baseline, which would have been before the Karb intake went on.

Yes honestly the best tuner I have ever dealt with. I have met so many tuners that are condescending pricks about valid questions. Hassan doesn't mind answering 50 questions and having a dialog about the car which is huge for figuring out what will work most effectively.

Thank you sir!

Yeah, I'm happy for a few bolt-on parts. Install party on the Haimus when I get back?!?

YES!!!

Awesome numbers and gains. HTE really dials the car in on the dyno, night and day vs base map lol.

Just had Hassan tune my car remotely on EuroMpire's Dynojet.

Mods:

• Agency Power headers
• Fabspeed Section 1 with HJC cats
• SuperSprint Section 2 resonated - oversized dual pipes
• SuperSprint Section 3 - Race (too loud but fun)
• TMS Street pulleys
• Karbonious matte intake (I'm told it's worth 10hp over gloss)
• BMC OEM CSL filter

Results: 322.53rwhp / 255.73rwtq

Drivability so far is perfect. My god that intake sounds effing glorious. No idea why I waited so long to do this mod.

I'm super happy with these numbers for just a couple of bolt-ons. It does have me kicking myself for not going SSV1 headers and section 1, but something to look forward to. I may go cams and those at some point down the road, but extremely happy for now. Considering I just dumped somewhere around 100lbs off the car, it feels pretty missile-like. I'm diggin it!

Man, you've been burning that midnight oil! Have fun on the trip. Good luck!

Good gains. Well done.

Ha!

Thanks man. It's been a long time comin. Like I said via PM, appreciate you letting me run ideas by you! Got this thing back together in 6 weekends, basically. I leave for a 1,000 mi rally tomorrow morning after an AC recharge! Nothing like cutting things close

Bruh that ain't a real dyno, du just drew that with a sharpie.

In all seriousness I'm so happy to see this thing on the road (not literally seeing) and you enjoying it more than ever.

Granted, I have stock cams and I don't have a 'CSL' emblem on the boot lid...

Reposting from the airbox thread, just got this thing dyno tuned:

Dyno baseline, stock airbox, stock tune, stock cams, CPI stepped headers, resonators but no cats, RE El Diablo section 3 - 281 whp, 238 wtq

Haimus box installed, alpha N remote tune from Epic, everything else the same - 312 whp, 249 wtq

Probably not the healthiest stock motor, 175k miles on it, but I’m satisfied for now.

Like I mentioned above, my entire fuel system is new including the injectors. Something I should discuss with Hassan. The “green giant” Volvo injectors aren’t that pricey at all. Neither the Bosch 550cc injectors. Doable on my end for sure if it will lead to more power.

You're not going to make more power with your setup on pump gas. He's running ethanol which is why he needs the fuel system upgrade.

Oh my bad. Ask him, he might know what your current injector duty cycle is. He's the one that got me set up with my injectors + fuel pump and they have worked extremely well.

It couldn't hurt, something like Green Giants (440cc) would be perfect. It's always better to have some overhead on injector duty cycle especially when you have the mods that you do which results in putting in a lot more air than stock. Also, if your factory injectors are old they're for sure leaking or inconsistent in fuel delivery. Factory fuel pump is crazy reliable (I replaced my original one at 220k miles and it was still going strong) and may not be necessary on pump but I'd upgrade it either way.

Is there any advantage of going from stock injectors to 550cc injectors on a pump gas only car? I have 272/280 cams, Turner air box and SS V1 headers with 2.5” exhaust going all the way to the muffler. Recently installed new factory injectors, new factory fuel pump, new fuel filter and new fuel pressure regulator.

Would upgrading the fuel pump or the injectors result in more power with these mods? I thought the factory fuel system was sufficient for N/A mods.
