Performance BMW (2/2006) WTF is this??

[DustenT]

There is a yellow 318 coupe widebody in the 2/2006 edition of Performance BMW. It has a DASC installed (claims 236bhp and 178lb/ft). I know we've been over the whole "you can't put a BOV on a DASC", but look at the pics:

Directly above the bypass valve, it looks like they mounted a BOV.

It looks suprisingly similar to an HKS Super Sequential BOV:

I'll paypal $10 to the first person that can find out how they did it. BTW...The DASC was installed by Azevedo Motorsports.

i've heard alot of sc runners using dump valves ;)

i jut got that issue yesterday, havent had the chance to read it yet.

[stormos]

errrr

stumped.

I get why you need a BOV in a turbo (backpressure between shifts slows down the turbine) but why in a supercharger?

for the sheer driving pleasure of course:biggrin:

It's funny how people exaggerate figures; 236hp at the wheels. So I guess his car has 295hp at the flywheel!?

Downing Altlanta would probably want to contact him and hire him for R&D and then raise the price of their kit!?:confused:

If the BOV vents to atmosphere (it looks like it does), the car would die everytime it opens. The MAF already accounted for that air, and now it's gone! I can't see the intake tract, but I'm sure he's got the factory MAF in place. WTF????

Does anyone know the guys at Azevedo Motorsports??

I though it would be more appropriate it someone actually knew these guys.

It's brake horsepower not wheel.

maybe they moved the position of the MAS. That's the only way I see that working

My client showed me the article the other day and I'm sure it said wheel horsepower. Maybe it's the magazine that got the info wrong. But never the less, what mod was made that constitutes an additional 26hp? No cams? No port & polish? No NOS?

The only possible answer is BOV!

[stormos]

100 ron fuel ?

100 ron fuel ?

He's in New Jersey. Unless he's mixing with Aviation fuel, he's not running more than 93 octane.

[stormos]

alot of car bods here use octane booster

A BOV does exactly what it's name implies, nothing more. You can't add 26 hp by installing a BOV or raising the octane level by 7-10 Ron. I think they are just fairytale figures.

I realize this, thus the offer to pay anyone $10 to find out what the deal is.

BTW...The pictures show a stock pulley on his DASC.

Some people just think they can say whatever they want and everyone will believe them.:rolleyes:
