DarkRepuls3 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2014 Hey guys, I have a 320i e36 and I just wanted to ask around as to what I can do to improve the sound of my car and other small improvements I can make to add small amounts of horsepower to my car without buying a new car obviously, cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MoJoJoe 46 Report post Posted June 2, 2014 mind if I ask where are you from? you could get a muffler from a 328i or maybe a remus universal or something and maybe decat it with straight pipes or single/twin resonator? small horse power, I guess do mods to your airbox and clean up your ICV, get a chip?

MoJoJoe 46 Report post Posted June 2, 2014 thats close to auckland. try gavin @ hi velocity, best tune up guy "near" you. usually his tunes will probably add 20 - 30 whp just from his tunes. a bit expensive but worth it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ahmedsinc 414 Report post Posted June 2, 2014 To be honest I'm not sure there's a great deal worth doing to the B20 short of turbocharging. You could go for cams, higher compression & a freer flowing exhaust but for the thousands of dollars you'll spend you'll likely end up with a similar output to an unmodified M50B25 / M52B28, on a really good day. Probably best to swap out the 2 litre for a 2.8 really, good engines can be had for around $1500 including ecu. Debaffle the factor airbox (slightly more induction noise) , remove the cats (leave the factory resonators in!) and look at a Remus or similar backbox. A full dual pipe system from a 328i would probably sound better than the peashooter setup the smaller engines got. Probably not the answer you're looking for but I hope it helps Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MoJoJoe 46 Report post Posted June 3, 2014 Save your money for a better car next time round ^ best advice. if you want more power start from a better base as a 328i or something because by the time you have spent xx on your car to get close to the m50b25/m52b28 engines you have already spent enough to get that said car. i drove a 318is for many years untill I crashed it and then decided to get a better bmw, you really dont need a faster car, what are you gonna do with 50 more WHP that you cant do now? shave off a 1 second of your 0 - 60 time? just leave it man. save your money to maintain these cars or get a better bmw to start with then if you still need more power you can spend it on a blower. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
