      @@mn2630 Most engines might not need any backpressure in the exhaust to work properly, but if you take your time and tune your exhaust you can use the backpressure to induce more air into the engine. And many BMW models have exhaust systems that are more than optimal and it's very unlikely that a homemade solution performs better than what BMW has engineered. And this is not strange at all, this kind of perfection is what they are known for :)

    • @FluidMotorUnion
      @FluidMotorUnion Před 4 lety +43

      Our dyno is not measuring resistance against the rollers. Dyno Dynamics is not an inertia style dyno, it's an eddy brake controlled with a load cell attached. The rollers are there to provide resistance, not measure power. The power calculation is determined by how much the cell lifts in relation to the load. Therefore for repeatable numbers, you want the car to climb the roller as much as possible without coming off. Both these cars had 4 straps, two for keeping it on the rollers and two for limiting its travel forward. Strapping the car too tight will actually result in even lower numbers! It's definitely a delicate balancing game

    With stock cats: 353WHP

    Other mods on his car were: Custom made headers, Custom X pipe, Dinan mufflers, Alpha N tune by Jed from GSR Technic.

      My friend’s E39 M5 with headers tune and etc. made 363WHP as it was remotely tuned by Matt from GSR Technic (Jailbreak Tune in past). The owner, my friend, got fed up with the horrible smell and put back the original cats. He dynoed his car as he was curious what difference the cats would make. It was exactly 10 WHP. He runs Magnaflow’s race cats right now.

    My first ever E39 M5 I noticed when I had taken off the cats and muffler and had it full straight pipe I did only gain about 20-30hp but I lost torque -50lbs. I have since then learned that having it straight piped, you need to have a larger diameter pipes to get the exhaust out fast but that it has enough space to get out fast. On my second E39 I had longtube headers installed and I had a different muffler installed. Sport muffler with valves. I gained 74hp and 89lbs torque. In total 393hp and 380 lbs. With longtube headers and muffler and similiar Alpha N Tune

    Even new, there are power differences between 2 same engines !
    So after 300kM compared to 80kM, 20HP is nothing !
    OJ did a great, great job tuning these cars

    Maybe you have old camshaft position sensors CPS and theyre giving bad readings. I wonder where the power is going, you should add an oil catch can as well. Great videos!!

    It'd be interesting to do a couple of tests on each of the cars and see how the numbers compare:
    1 - Cold compression test, cold leakdown
    2 - Hot compression test, hot leakdown
    Also, drop a borescope in, and see what you have for deposits - maybe run some walnut shells through.

    Exhaust velocity is real. Big piping is not always better. But, it was still fairly close to the goal.

      It wouldn't surprise me to learn that exhaust is actually costing him power. In the clips Alex has shown, it didn't look like any of the piping that was put in was mandrel-bent. And some of it even looked like it was already a narrower ID than the stock exhaust pipe? That may have just been my eyes though.

    The bottleneck of the S62 is the stock exhaust manifold and the intake tubes. But the extreme restrictions are the exhaust manifolds of the pre-facelifed M62! Also BMW did check the power gain with modified S65- headers on a S62 and it was very surprising for a NA.
