well i chopped the cats out and removed the trumpet from the airbox and woooow what a difference!!!!!!! goes much beter, im still not convinced its 286hp cheers guys jeremy

i was after the faq that tells you comon faults and how to fix them, i found one for my old vr4 and fixed the leaking capasitors myself. i think ill have to make a day trip to chch and get it scaned and dyno'd its running ok now still a bit lacking down low and doesnt feel like the beter part of 300hp when i picked it up i filled her up with 95 octane then read the manaul that states i need a min of 98 so i put 1/2 a tank of the good bp stuff plus a bottle of octane booster and its slowly getting quicker maybe a sticky vanos? and echo complex i didnt call you about your m3 and yes my 325 is quick (low ratio diff /uk import) cheers jeremy

chassis number fg.nr.ea68035 ill load up some pics tonite cheers

yea i drove it as fast as i could around the interislander ferry terminal and yes its the black one with 18's on tardme i filled it up with 95 and read in the owners manual that states it needs a min of 98 so i toped it up -3/4 of a tank- and added octane booster i also removed the cat converters today and its running much beter but still not what i expect does the vanos ever play up on these are the jdm ones detuned so it wont disgrace their cars? is there any GOOD faq sites on these? i spent 4hrs this morning looking at pages about the yanky detuned models that makes a whooping 240hp i cant find anything on the jdm version mechaincly its fine clean filters good plugs ect it just seems restricted and theres no dynos around here lol not everyone lives in auckland cheers jeremy

hey all after not being able to find anything for my e30 325i i forked out 20k for a very tidy e36 1995 m3 its done 83,000ks its a manual jap import and its sluggish! what little power it has comes in after 5,000rpm it would be bugger all faster than my old 325, in a straight line its actualy slower than a standard 94 vtech prelude it seems to run fine, no noises or smoke is the jdm modle detuned? maybe i was expecting to much from the mighty m3? any idears? cheers jeremy

dont worry about it guys i couldnt find what i were lookin 4 so i brought a e36m3 thanks guys

its done 200,000ks and sat around for a long time i set the vavle clarences according to my repair manual its loud, sounds almost like valve clearances at road speed you can hear them over road noise it just seems odd for the 2 middle injectors to tick ill swap them around tomoro and see how i get on edit- injector resistance is correct

hey there i have a 87 m325i with m20b25 motor and it sounds like it has noisy injectors, ive used a stethoscope to pin point the 3rd and 4th injectors ive set the valve clarences twice and the noise is still there it sounds like i have a sicader orgy under my bonnet ive put heaps ove injector cleaner through the tank and it made them worse if anything is this a common problem? any ideas? cheers jeremy
