Well, finally got around to my frist stretch of modifying my car. Money seems to go everywhere else, anyway.

poor baby all covered in snow :(


sounds better by any chance elliot?

[Goblin]

Yeah forgot to mention...

WOW! It sounds much better, way better infact.

I really like it and I must say it is hard to describe.

Also, this is 5 WHP and 3 WTq ;) damn.. lol (proven by dyno if you want to head onto ECIS site)

I want to say the RPM range "feels" different, but not to sure if that is me thinking it is or if it is for real.

Anyway, very happy.

Bimmer intakes have got to be the simplest in design
None of this complex bends
Nice car ;)

[Kaos]

Glad you enjoy the intake.
Its a nice piece to add to the Bimmer! :thumbsup:

Doesn't this opening that feeds into the shield/box thingy seem restricting? guessing its the stock nosel... where is it getting the air from?

You know the kidney grill, it is getting it from there.

I will snap a pic when it gets brighter.

Sounds bad ass eh? You're gonna go through a tank in half the time you normally do like I did when I got my intake :guns:

edit: BTW, that's a huge garage.

+ horsepower = + fuel consumption your sensor is detecting more air going to your engine so it increases the amount of fuel in order to keep the 14:1 ish ration... not rocket science :bigpimp:

Well if you were forcing ("torquing") your engine before to try and accelerate and now you don't have to floor your pedal as much to get the same results... look at your fuel consumption gage when you are at 2000rpm and you gunit... the fuel consumption goes past the 30L/100km but no results.... atleast not in the 1.9L :D

yeah buddy, I would like to see(help) the spring install. I dont work weekends anymore (new job!)

If you do it the weekend of march 4/5th, you can see my new tint as well. (going in on 4th)

[AllGoNoShow]

That'll be the weekend :)

I'm sending mine in for tint as well, got to see what the suspension and brakes are going to run me first though.

[Goblin]

^ Yow!

some old guy (65+) said that when I worked at petro, it was so funny.

I guess its a ya and a yo in one?
