There are many many dyno results for them mate. I wont link though as they are on other forums. Cant chip the 323i '96 onwards. Only remap :) As for the exhaust, the M52B25 has two 3-1 manifolds with two downpipes. Cat is 1 pipe but im swapping mine to a 2pipe 328 cat and two 318 silencers.

Hey guys. Ive done quite a bit of work on it recently, i'll get some shots up soon. The main problem with replacing the inlet manifold is the piping. The older manifold has less holes on it than the ODBII one, so you need to knock up some new hosing with T / Y connectors in it. The gasket is...

The capri for sure. I'm in love with that car. I saw a tickford capri in the most dreadful state being driven through southampton by a kid my age, huge spoiler stuck on with PVA and a bodykit made of guttering screwed on, i nearly got out the car and slapped the guy. When the beemer is ready...

Im very tolerant and happy to give them all the leeway they need until it comes to 15 in a 30 or 30 in a 60. Annoying whether they have L plates or not but I agree that they shouldnt be on the road yet unless theyre able to drive comfortably at the speed limit. My instructor was always on at me...

I spoke to a man the other day who had done it (he was trying to sell me a scorpion de-cat system haha) and said it was easy peasy. He said you can just switch the 6 hole bit on either the shaft or diff to match and didnt mention anything about problems mounting it :)

Thanks mate, i've contacted him and looks like a good deal for the bbtb and modded manifold. Induction kit will come after ive changed the manifold then just got to find someone to do the remap :) If anyone knows anywhere in or around SE wales / the west who would be up to doing the ECU would...

Round where I live theres a lot of very well off people, I frequently see some amazing cars near my house: R8 Ariel Atom F430 Scuderia Diablo GT-1 DB-S 1979 AC 3000ME of which only 70 odd were sold some ancient rolls and bugattis (the type worth 3 or 4 million) shelby GT500 Sherman tank I...

Ah right so its more to do with creating turbulence in the inflow? I know that its a good idea to leave the inside of inlet manifolds pitted and rough to increase turbulence and improve particularization of the air. I'll look into that mate thanks :)

Thanks for the fast response fellas. Yea supercharger and nitrous have crossed my mind but think theyre a bit more effort than theyre worth on a fast road car (to answer your other question) By 'spiral flow in the head' do you mean those induction tubes with a spiral / rifling running down the...

Hello gentlemen (and some ladies I'm sure) I've been lurking here for a little bit, doing my homework but thought it time to make my first post. I've recently got myself a 323i coupe which packs the 2.5L engine (M52 or M50?) and I'm itching to start releasing some BHP. Just not sure where...
