kerrynzl 3 Report post Posted April 21, 2009 Why f**k around with this on the intake? Just hacksaw off your muffler and weld this to the exhaust. You'll notice a huge improvement in driving skills [ trying to get away from the police ] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get a drill and a file, and drill and file all the bits of plastic out from between the fins of the grill around the headlights, Quite a lot can be opened up.

I see people that think a "big-bore, chip, & Pod" can get 100% gains. personally, all I would do is put a K&N element into the stock "box". If a motor can't rev any more because it's starved of air, then look at ways to get more air into it. Are you really revving it all the time? Or are you breathing a bigger engine through it?

oscar90 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2009 -It wasn't advice mate! total sarcasm intended. All good then haha hard to tell over the internet, sorry mate -Are you really revving it all the time? Or are you breathing a bigger engine through it? yes and no just brought the E30 so i had a car i could drive "hard" so it will get revved, stock engine tho, and still keep the E36 as a daily, so wouldnt mind tinkering with the car i can "blow up" as such, thought a good cold air intake and box would perhaps help a wee bit with getting wee gains for little $$, was just fishing for ideas, looks like others may have thought about it also Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apex 693 Report post Posted April 28, 2009 Have just ordered a couple of extra large ports so can send you one when I get them. I know intakes do bugger all for performance but I love the sound of a POD filter and let’s face it, the M20 needs all the acoustic help it can get. Im just going to feed through the head light and onto the end of the CAI. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is the heat sheild he made for the 205: Just to know we where limited a lot in the design by the maf placement/angle and connector to the idle stepper motor Still tempted. I was going to make one up for my car to see how feasable/useful it would be with either 1.8mm bright stainless or 2mm aluminium. If I get my a into g i will put up how i go.

pjay 8 Report post Posted April 28, 2009 Hey Ive got a fibre glass Race pro intake end thing at home if anyones' interested. Its not round though, its rectangular. Perfect for behind the E36 fog light hole though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MLM 57 Report post Posted May 8, 2009 I had a go this weekend at making a cold air box for an e36 318is. It is a full enclosed heatshield with rubber sealing to the bonnet and bodywork to stop vibrations and hot air. It was made to take advantage of the original air inlet from the kidney grill, though i doubt that it intorduces that much cold air into the box at all Performance: nothing noticable (expected) Sound: awesome Next step is a cold air feed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
