Engine + Driveline / Is this an odd question?

« on: October 19, 2008, 05:05:20 PM »

I believe the e30 intake manifold is too tall to fit under the e36 hood.  Don't take my word though as I don't have an e30 intake manifold to compare.  For the amount of "gain" I can't justify doing it especially on an engine with stock internals/cams ect...Also if you aren't careful with tuning, your car may run at a very lean condition which we should all know can have really bad results on the engine's reliability/driveability.  Definitely not a "bolt-on" mod in my opinion.

haha. hey man! you were the inspiration for my diy cai.

what wouldja want for the mani? i'm still thinkin this might be a good idea. too bad it's heavy, and shipping to canada is gay.

maybe having the throttle body would be a good idea too... could see about getting it bored out....

these would be good to go with a chip, too, eh?

so... would i need the throttle body too? this sounds like an interesting mod, and seeing as i can't afford an engine swap, it's something i may consider.

as far as hood clearance, what's the difference? i also wonder if the low end torque would be noticeably lower...

Someone on bf.c just told me that putting an older m42 (e30 318i/is) manifold on my later model m42 ('95 318ti) would be a good idea....


is he crazy?
