Did you dyno your car stock?

94 octane here in Montreal!
I can't wait to see what it's putting down. I will post results as soon as I hit the dyno.

I've had my M4 for little over two years now. Had stage 1 Dinan from the beginning then stage 2 when it came out. I've had stage 3 for about 3 weeks now and I can honestly say I do not feel any difference at all in the performance gains. I started to get a little concerned especially since the gains should be pretty significant.

I called my buddy up who has a stock m3. I was surprised that my car with full Dinan was exactly the same speed. I also track my car 4-5 times a year and noticed other Ms are pretty much the same on the straights.

I have my dealer involved and are doing what Dinan asks us to do with no luck. We've done a few tests with no difference and now Dinan wants us to do a boost test which dealer doesn't have the equipment for. Is it possible I have a bad unit? Anyone else having problems?

Pretty disappointed in the service and performance. I think after 13 years of being a Dinan customer, i'm jumping off the wagon.

Anyone want stage 3? It's for sale.

LOW4LYF · 11-04-2016, 07:30 PM

Do you know a Dyno close to you...?

Can't wait to get my Stage 3...

MNoob · 11-04-2016, 08:24 PM

Started shipping 2 weeks ago, but you've had yours for 3?

AutoPG · 11-05-2016, 05:36 AM

Trying to find one. There is a dyno opening in a few months in Tampa.

We did the butt dyno with a laptop changing the modes in the car with all 3 stages and with no tune feel exactly the same. Frustrating.

Yes, I was the first one in Tampa. It was a pre-delivery one for a Dinan dealer.

Dinan had a money back guarantee for Stage 1, which is why I did before and after dynos. I wanted to verify, with actual data, that it was doing what they said it would do.

There is not one dyno anywhere near you in the state of Florida? Maybe they will honor a return if you come up with some real data, instead of just a "feeling"? I'd find an indy shop, dyno, measure boost with it on. Then remove and dyno again.

AutoPG · 11-05-2016, 02:54 PM

Thank you. I really hope something is just wrong with the tune. Dealer can't figure it out. I've had Dinan on 3 of my cars and always loved the gains.

Might be cheaper just to take it all off and buy a 800 jb4 and be done.

Finally back in town after the long week of SEMA so starting the long arduous task of catching up.... something is wrong. If you feel nothing in difference with stage 3 then something is broken unless you only travel under 40 everywhere and never go over 2k RPM. Reeves should be able to hook up a boost gauge really quick just to verify something is going one. I am sure if that was the direction given that warranty gave them the exact instructions and tools to do so (we sell the kit... well, most of it, all but the gauge itself). I'm out of the loop on warranty this week but send me a PM to remind me to inquire on Monday when I get in the office.

Any new info on Stage 4/bigger turbos?

C_Treadwell · 11-08-2016, 08:09 AM

Mine finally arrive today! Special thanks to Golan at AutoTalent for getting my pre-order in for the first batch of deliveries. Stage 3 here I come!

Will update with pictures. This install also includes the new BMW Performance steering wheel and Active Autowerkes mid-pipe.

Nope. Still waiting for the revised turbos (first set failed miserably). Once they come in they will be installed immediately and we will continue on.

jgrigoros · 11-08-2016, 09:59 AM

List of mods,

Dinan stage 3
Eventuri carbon intake
Akrapovic downpipes with full exhaust

This is what the car put down.

LOW4LYF · 11-08-2016, 10:04 AM

456HP on crank? Non ZCP, right?

Whp and I have the competition pack.
I will be honest I was expecting to see that magical 500 number.

LOW4LYF · 11-08-2016, 10:15 AM

It's like 530-540 on the crank...? DTC or manual?

Doesn't that seem low for Stage 3? Is it 456 at the wheels?
