S63tu dropped - Step Change?
Looks like Dinan has big plans for our s63tu. Can't wait.
Any guesses?

It's funny that minutes ago in other thread a guy was talking about tuned N54 650 WHEEL HP and now you are talking about N54 700 WHEEL HP... I am almost speechless because I don't know how that fantastic Transmission and Differential can handle that much power (almost 800 HP at crank) right?

Seems like unnecessary effort to drop the engine for bigger turbos given their location on top of the engine.
It has been suggested that Dinan prefer to develop on an engine dyno. Could be the case. |

How do you know the pistons are cast ? Plus Dinan will never get into those power figures, so this is just pointless blah blah

My guess is DCT clutch plates. They wear out fairly easy with more HP.

Steve Dinan is leaving Dinan, so maybe he's taking the motor with him. Either way, not sure it's good news for this project.

All in all a successful team is in place from top to bottom that is more then capable of taking over the everyday operations of Dinan without Steve's oversight. In fact I think everyone will be surprised with all the coming plans with the "new" Dinan. The press release (can be viewed here) has already hinted at a few changes such as a new AWD dyno testing facility and a massive tractor trailer for race events as well as shows but that's just the tip of the iceberg. It's going to be an fun and interesting ride! |
