| Message: | | Now that the super e motor is broken in, I thought I'd try the 323i intake on it. With the complete 2.7i conversion with all 325i parts, it didn't make as much of a difference as I noticed with the higher compression, cammed motor from the white car. With some adjustments it ended up making slightly better power, but not as much on top of peak power as it made on the higher strung motor. It was a definite improvement over the 325i manifold as far as roll on response and power, with gobs of torque available with less throttle than the 2.5l manifold requires. This may be from the retuning that I needed to do when I disconnected the o2 sensor, but in any case, its an improvement. It was definitely still worth doing. It comes on cam slightly sooner, and it still pulls through 80 better than the stock 325i manifold with the o2 hooked up. But it did not blow me away like it did with the high CR, 274 degree cam and head porting the other motor had. With luck it'll be turbo before the end of the month. More updates to follow once its under manifold pressure...
