Default Had the BMW Cosworth on the Rolling Road Very Pleased

Well after finally finishing the running in miles on the new engine i thought i'd have her strapped to the rollers to have the fueling checked
Have found a Local place to me Called JDM Dyno and having used them before with my Nova i was happy to take the BMW there for a check up

Chufted to bits with the results had problems at first with it spinning outta the rollers but we soon cured that the results are exactly as i expected

Just want more power now

I would be hoping to make peak power a bit higher up?

It looks like its less than 5.5k?

try and get it to hold more boost top end

what's the spec? from the boost and figures i'd guess it's T34 etc?

if so i'd maybe expect peak torque to be lower than what it is..

looks good though, at least there's plenty of info on the graph

Spec is Fully Rebuilt YB with T34 with cut back blades
MSD Stage 3 chip using Bosch 803, 3 bar, coil-pack conversion, closed loop

Its always been a very laggy setup with full boost not achived to high up onto 4000+ rpm (the exhaust might have something to do with that, Straight threw 3" with only a tiny scorpion backbox)

Engine has only cover 1000 miles since rebuild once some more miles on her i will visit MSD and go for siemens injectors and another chip and get him to check it over

The exhaust has nothing to to with where the engine makes full boost.

I bigger exhuast will lhelp air flow the engine and will improve turbo "lag".
