| Message: | | I finally got to do a super e, with those fancy pistons. I must say, theres something to it. With brand new main, rod and wristpin bearings, new rings, a new 325i cam, rockers, shafts and dual springs and a little drilling for oil, its all done. 1200 miles later, its broken in. With a 3.46 diff, Alpina B3 chip, stock 325i intake through the airbox, 3 bar FPR, super e injectors and the stock super e exhaust, it moves pretty well. I want to say its faster than the white car was with the decked 325i head on eta pistons. That certainly has something to do with the all new valvetrain, but the way it runs leads me to believe theres something to that later style combustion chamber. I would install the magically delicious 323i manifold, but since this one is getting a turbo I wont worry about that crazy stuff. Bottom line is that the super eta pistons and 325i head make a great combo. Better than a decked 325i head on an eta block, even with a 274 degree cam. The white car wasnt slow, but this is significantly better. I would recommend those pistons if you can get em. They are worth it. 1988 528e
