I don't think the 530d will dyno correctly due the transmission. You'll end up with figures that aren't really comparable to much else.

I won't be running guise. Sorry, however I'll be spectating and offering 607bhp passenger rides.

How do you know 607bhp if you not RR'in?

Princey · 8 Jul 2012 at 15:45

It was done when I had the supercharger fitted.

L0rdMike · 8 Jul 2012 at 15:45

Got graphs?

Hmmm, no point then.

Princey · 8 Jul 2012 at 15:48

Sure do, I'll post them when I get home this evening. Don't laugh at my 25% transmission loss though.

I doubt it's really 607bhp, more like 550bhp. I can't imagine I'd lose so much through the tranny. It made 460whp.

Clarkey · 8 Jul 2012 at 15:49

Why not run it on the PS dyno, then it's comparable to everyone elses and your previous run.

L0rdMike · 8 Jul 2012 at 15:49

How much does that thing weigh now?

Princey · 8 Jul 2012 at 15:53

1650kg.

Howard · 8 Jul 2012 at 15:57

Ooh it's done then :eek:

Princey · 8 Jul 2012 at 16:02

It was done 4 weeks ago.

ScoobyDoo69 · 8 Jul 2012 at 16:07

Run it again! Gives us something awesome to watch.

Gibbo · 8 Jul 2012 at 16:11

Yeah run it on PS dyno, be good to see how it compares to Mustang.

I'll be there to spectate

Cant you put it in sport mode and just use the paddles and hold it in gear up to the red line ?
