Matt127 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2011 (edited) Hi all, I've been lurking around the forum for quite some time now and finally got myself a nice little e30 after looking at a bunch of e30s and e36s. It's a 1991 325i SE manual with currently 157,000ks. Im super stoked with it-by far the best car i've ever owned So far I've had it on the dyno for a base figure (106KW ATW) and added a K&N filter + some M3 control arm bushes Plans are: -Fitting my LSD in the factory diff (3.64 ratio) thats had some special mods thanks to Kane Barrie -Miller WAR chip and MAF are on the way from Canada -A set of Wayne's headers I've yet to fit -Maybe a cam from Ireland Engineering or similar? -Get a nice suspension set up (koni or bilstein) Thanks for looking. I'd be keen to hear from anyone who has used the Miller Performance stuff before and their results Edited August 22, 2011 by Mattio Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark 178 Report post Posted August 23, 2011 ^Equates to around 170hp at crank... must be a very strong and well looked after M20 to still be putting out factory quoted figures! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt127 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2011 Thanks for the kind comments everyone. I'm glad I finally got around to posting up something. Welcome dude-very nice car. Is it just me or is 106kw atw extremely high for a stock 325 ^Equates to around 170hp at crank... must be a very strong and well looked after M20 to still be putting out factory quoted figures! Yea it appears to be making good power, although I would say (as most of you probably already know) all dynos are different and Harman Motors didn't have any other records of other e30s to compare against. They had done one e36 325i recently and that put out 116KW ATW if thats any comparison. Heres the dyno graph anyway for interests sake, abeit a very badly scanned one. The red line is the first run and the blue line shows after running an 'Inter-Ject' injector cleaner through the fuel system. Not a very impressive gain haha but it did idle a little smoother afterwards. Oh and don't take any notice of the torque figures. I realise they are extremely high. I think it something to do with it being difficult to accurate measure torque on rolling road dynos. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
