Dyno'd: e36 M3 VF supercharged T-trim

[rightfttc]

After around 13,000 miles of daily driving with the VF kit installed, I finally got the chance to get it on the dyno at the last Mfest dyno day.
Big thanks to VF, Chris, and Cullen for organizing and Thomas C. for the pics!

Result: 318hp at 6psi

Current power mods:
VF stage 1 T-trim
Labonte ISG-S3 water/meth injection
IE aluminum radiator
G-power catback

is that whp or engine hp?

[leonard_e36]

would be 350 hp right? or i'm wrong ? cause i take a look on vf web and thats what they said ...

6.0 psi 350 hp 292 tq $4500

I'm not sure of the calculation for whp to flywheel hp

[MikeE36]

is that whp or engine hp?

whp. It was on a chassis dyno... as indicated by the pics and graph. That measures power to the wheels.

Typical drivetrain loss for a RWD car is around 15%.

Divide WHP by .85 for Engine HP.

317 / .85 = 372.94 hp at the engine.

Lots of aftermarket companies try to make their product sound more impressive by posting the engine hp, as that is where the factory and magazines talk about horsepower anyhow.

A stock E36 M3 makes around 200-210 whp though, (240 at the crank) so 317 whp is over a 100whp gain. That is nothing to sneeze at :)

i understand ...
i think its fair for the aftermarket companies to declare BHP if the manufacturers (BMW etc) do the same thing .
