535i throttle body on a 320i?

[PHAT 89 BEMA 0]

has any one put a 535i throttle body on a 320i e30?

if so is there much work in doing so & what power gain would i get?

if i cant put this throttle body on what would be the best one to put on with not having to do much modz?

thanks

There is really no point on putting a 535i TB on a 320 - even if you could get it to fit, it would do little for performance other than make it worse. I have heard though that useful gains can be made be using a 325 TB. The Power gains are not large though.

thanks for that, ill give it a go

I have put a pod filter on & going to put a twin 1.5" exhaust straight through

or would a 3" exhaust be better than a twin 1.5" ??

Is there any other performance parts i can put on my car (bolt on performance)?

Can i chip my car? (1989 320i E30 Manual)

many of hte chips have been sampled and arent worth the money in NZ. Apart from higher redline there isnt any gain, often a loss. And you'll be looking to pay $300+delivery or more and its not economical choice especialyl when if your importing them they're made for different markets such as the US or UK who use different octane levels etc.
