so i was bored last night searching ebay and found these.. would anyone recommend doing it? i've heard the dinan chips are good but what about the other one? anyone chipped an m30 and noticed a difference? apparently they get leaned out so could be more economic haha http://motors.search.ebay.com/search/searc...ntrypage=search

wanting to up the exhaust note a little on the 535.. not wanting it to be loud, just want a bit more of a growl from the big six.. and i mean just a liitle louder than standard. test drove bezzals 535 which had an aftermarket rear muffler, sounded quite grunty but a tad too loud for me, don't want to attract to much attention.. i like the look of the standard twin pipe so don't really want to change that, could i remove the centre muffler and replace it with something else?? the 535 has a twin pipe setup from head to toe. i don't know jack about mufflers really so what have you guys done? we have numerous welders at our flat so i'd be doing a home job.. fun

my idea for a supercharger...
rowanhol replied to crshbndct's topic in Forced Induction & Performance Tuning
here is a link to the bypass valve i got from ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Bosch-Turbo...1QQcmdZViewItem inlet size is 20mm, the piston then steps up to 42mm-thats just the part thats under vacum. outlet is 20mm aswell i liked the idea of this over a blow off valve because a BOV only opens when you abruptly close the throttle body, i think you can modify the spring on a BOV so that it works like the porsche unit but its easier to just buy the porsche one.. the porsche unit stays open at idle and steady throttle,cruising on the open road, and when you close the throttle. ie more pressure in the piping than the inlet manifold which pushes from the bottom and and sucks the piston from the top to an open position It closes when you sart to put your foot down, ie when there is positive pressure in the inlet manifold pushing down on the piston. I'm bad at explaining things but you should be able to get my drift -
yep, kinda pointless uppung the power when you can't put it to the ground. bids are past what i could affdord for your car so best option is to track down an lsd.. would have loved to use your car as a daily bash around while my car goes under the knife.it was so much more fun to drive haha

I spoke to a chap in chch who does super chips, quoted me around $1000 for a tune specific to my car, pretty sure he chucks it on the dyno and tunes it to its best, he said last time he did a m30 engine he got an extra 18hp out of it.. so i imagine it'd be quite possible to get 20hp from your e38. but I would definately get a diagnostic test if it's performing that badly.
-
looks a little rough.. how do you convert the page to english? wonder how much he wants for it..hmmm
-
that is quite the cheap. managed to get a set from ebay though $58 landed..nt sure if they are genuine or not, have to wait till they arrive.
-
700hp... meh i like this better
-
well don't really want to have to plumb up the water etc, and fit the extra radiator and get a pump,not my idea of simple, maybe for some it is but for me putting in small front mount seems simple... still going to need a fair few joiners with water to air setup..but yeah def more with a front mount. most water to air setups look like bird sh*t on a balck shoe aswell
-
yeah myte go ask the boys down there, pretty sweet having them across the road from work. they must be sick of me by now. have temporarily made some out of silver cardboard!! i should be hung. still looks better than a gaping hole though are the acs caps alluminium or plastic??
