Swaps, Turbos, Buildups / Water/Meth on M42?

« on: April 12, 2010, 07:46:18 AM »

Hi guys,

I know Water/Meth Injection is commonly used on Diesel and Turbo engines who create a big amount of heat.But the German general importer for Snow Performance water / meth kits featured some N/A BMWs and they had a HP gain from 13-35% (with a optimised engine management).

What do you think,would it be sensefull to use it on a M42?Did anyone try this on a N/A M42?Whats your opinion?

best regards,Moe

Engine management / sprechen sie deutsch?

Hey there,of course I do,because I´m from Munich,Germany

Well,these  words are hard to translate,even for my online dictionary which knows a lot of engeneering words.

Drosselklappenpotentiometersignal : Means the Throttle Body potentiometer signal (perhaps the short form is TPS,I don´t know)
Drehzahlsignal : Means RPM signal,you´re right
Klemme 15: yes,clamp or clip
Masse: I´m not quite sure,but this is an electronical think,an "Masse" means normally GND (connecting cable to ground or something like that).I´m pretty sure that this has nothing to do with 02 !
Luftmengenmesser: Yes,it´s airflow meter
Versorgungsspannung: supply voltage
 
I hope I could help you (or prove what you found out),if you got more questions,feel free to ask.

But to get sure that I reach your message,write an E-Mail at Overkill1990@gmx.de because I´m not here so often.

best regards,Moritz

Engine + Driveline / Questions on Metric Mechanics Cam and Pulse Chamber!

« on: September 11, 2009, 03:55:07 AM »

Hey there,my name is Moritz,I´m from Munich,Germany and my ride is a M42 318is E36,thats why I´m here.I´ve got some questions concerning the cool Metric Mechanics parts for my beloved M42 and I wanted to ask you as un-biased (right word?) spectators.I mean which company would like to tell you about the disadvantages of their products?

Ok,the pulse chamber manifold seems to be a great performance mod,but is it really working?I really tried to translate it into german,but i just couldn´t do it.I know the explenation from their catalog but i didn´t unterstand it,even not with the help of my dictionary (knows also engineering words).Could anybody explain the function in easy english just for me?It would be really nice!Is the price for gaining torque in the midrange loosing top end torque?And I don´t have the E30 M42 manifold,I have the M42 E36 manifold with DISA (variable intake length),is there any power and torque gain on MY DISA engine or just for E30 models?

Second question is about the Sport Cam with 258 deg intake and 11.15 valve lift combined with a stock 228 deg exhaust cam.Does anybody of you have this cam?How would you describe the power development?Is there nothing below 3500 RPM and then a hurricane?In germany the 318is drivers prefer Schrick Cams with 256 deg at both cams,and you really have to squeeze it to have fun,is it the same with the 258 inlet cam?how much power would i gain?

So I hope you unterstood my english and can help me.

And I want to sympathize with the victims of 9/11 today!

best regards,Moritz
