Your more than welcome, glad we are all hear for one another. Nice mod list, that meth is surely helping damn good mph! what was your weather like?

Mid 70s sunny skies
DA was in mid 2500

Road wasn't that great as I had some traction loss initially.

[SatinblkF90]

Has anybody else showed any real world gains with dragy using at least the Dinan inlets combined with stock air box, charcoal delete and high flow BMC/K&N filters?

Transmission S3

4WD

Rest I keep suspension condor
Steering sport plus

Both those parameters don't matter

Those are the parameters but you can still launch either in 4wd regular or 4wd sport which is rear biased torque split. You should see if you run faster times on 4wd sport vs 4wd I think it makes more power on 4wd sport mode, possibly less drivetrain losses.

Any updates on performance gains with these?

I don't think u can completely turn off dsc in mdm.

You dont need to be in MDM to have 4wd sport. With DSC off you can still set the 4wd settings to 4wd or 4wd sport. Go check it.

Just checked good to know. Thx

Doubt you will see much gains in that sense. Feels like it spools faster, helps with guiding boost, but the way these cars change the timing, you’ll never have the same timing back to back or the same DA. Hit 500ft less da will give you more of a performance gain.

What about on a stage 2 car? More interested to see how they help in that case comparing to high flow filters on stock inlets.

Are you saying basically only in hotter weather they would be more beneficial with less power loss in the heat vs stock inlets?

So I had PG before this and hands down PG sound amazing but Dinan look amazing and also temps are the same as front mount intakes. Also due to almost 1 1/2 size bigger inlets I feel car has a better throttle response and pulls even faster from the get go. This is all butt dyno assumption but to me it does feel more responsive.

Ok that's interesting. I would of thought from the huge increase in size, that extra airflow would of made more of a dramatic impact on the top end like improving the 60-130mph times, but maybe as they said it's not really going to make more power with this additional flow unless it's a monster 1000hp+ build as stock air intake/box with a high flow filter are already extremely high flowing as is.

So reading the thread, from people who have purchased the turbo inlets, can I take it that there is no appreciable gain in power?

[AngryInch]

I mean when you’re stage 2 and pushing 800hp… are you going to feel 10hp?? I really doubt it. I’m sure they help make power, but it’s nothing you’re going to see on a draggy run.

1 degree of timing is likely 20hp on these modified engines. If you do a run and your timing isn’t identical, how are you going to quantify the results?

For me, my car with JB4 is all over the place, I did a 10.34 on the street in good DA, then went to the track with race gas and map5 and went slower, 10.53 and slower every run after as timing got worse as engine got hot and da higher.

Like I said, the throttle response seems better and turbos definitely spool faster, I had to modify the wastegate setting in JB4 as I was over boosting after I let install.

Boost and air flow are easy on these engines.. keeping the timing up is the hard part…

your car is loaded to the brim i love it exterior carbon pieces the mods . by the way what kind of tires are you running? do you have a page on your car like insta or anything like that ?

also what is your 60-130 assuming since your on meth stage 2 plus with tcu tune like 6 flat maybe 5.8

It's hot right now so 6.2-5 range but in cooler weather without meth I have done 6.14. So I'm sure in cooler weather again I should be able go 6 or below.

4S tires

My Insta game is weak just couple of photos but hopefully will get on it soon.

I will happily follow and ya 5.9. i saw a world record for the 60-130 be 5.9 in this forum long ago pretty sure you can beat that time

Now with these inlets hopefully that extra 10whp can get you a 5.9 in cooler weather lol.

Also, if doing the runs be sure to use 4wd sport I think it helps to improve times, with DSC off as you now know is an option.

4wd sport with dsc all the way off?for launches and 60-130?
my inlets finally coming in the mail tomorrow but im on stock ecu tune since 2020 m5 maybe I can put a gallon of e in with 91 and get a draggy with the dinan inlets installed

4wd sport in general gets more power to the wheels as it’s a rear biased torque split vs regular 4wd which is not.

Either 4wd MDM or DSC off should yield strongest times, also using auto shift I always run better than manual shift. For 60-130. On launches unless 4wd sport spins too much it should be quicker as well but that is more dependent on situation with how conditions lend themself to traction so it can go either way.

MDM 4wd sport vs DSC OFF 4wd sport for 60-130 runs won’t make a difference unless you were spinning a bit at the start with MDM possibly triggering traction control, otherwise should be identical.
