323i coupe tuning tips wanted please

M3 engine ????

2.3 is a 6 potter engine isnt it?

then start with induction kit, fuel pressure regulator (fuel boost valve), full exhausts from both manifolds stright through looking at fitting sports cats as well, larger injectors ( try looking at 325, 330 models to see if theyre the same fit). a remap may get another 5-10 bhp also have a look and see if the cams off the 325 or even 330 would fit your 323, if not get fast road cams fitted.

you can also get super and turbo charger kits or BMW but you are looking between 3-6 grand for then and some kits dont include low compression conrods or piston heads. boy i used to work with was quoted £9k or a turbo kit and all parts for his old M3 (1996 i dont no the e numbers to work out which ones which)
 
Have a chat with the guys at CA Automotive. They are THE BMW specialists. Mention TorqueCars and you might even get a discount ;)
 
HI mate,

how much power are you looking for i might be able to help
 
Hi bladeboy,

Have a 323 coupe myself - good choice.

Fancied a bit more grunt & bought a hybrid induction kit from Dave F on eBay (look up "e36 bmw hybrid induction kit" - while I haven't been on a dyno, the difference is awesome. Genuinely feels like the car can breathe at last, and the growly induction roar is addictive. Engine more responsive right across the rev range. Best £160 I have ever spent & fitted in about 20 mins.

You basically take out the horrible restrictive airbox & flat panel air filter & fit an open cone K&N filter with a cold air feed. The only way to fly.

Also, try running your motor on super unleaded - ideally 99 RON stuff. Not a cheap hobby at the moment though!

Good luck - should take you up to near 325 power, about 190 bhp?

Dave
 
Hi Dave and welcome to TorqueCars. I'd love to hear more about your car and your mods. Got any pics you can post (there's a 10 post restriction though for pics) but I'd love to see them.
