Dunno, but I know that from having a look at mine the two wires are definately there for the tweeters. The green/grey is there and the yellow and blue one is folded back and taped up in the loom. has a blue plug on it......

Cheers for the replies. S50 seems to be the best bet.

Swaps, Turbos, Buildups / E36 M3 throttle bodies vs Bike throttle bodies?

« on: May 23, 2007, 06:39:19 PM »

Basically what would be better? For power/ease of fitting and cost? I have been trawling through threads on here and both setups look good.

So, as i have seen steve321's m3 throttle body setup and it looks awesome, i was going to go with that but theres a small part of me that wants to go with bike itb's. I see the advantage is that you could run them on a sock filter as Tim mentioned in a post instead of having an airbox manufactured which is one advantage and noise isn't a problem? but i have heard somewhere that they are harder to set up?

Whats your opinions? I am going for top end mods mostly including cams, the above, lightened flywheel and mega squirt and possibly polished, ported head.

Any advice would be much appreciated. Just wanna know whats the better option. I am swaying towards the M3 throttle bodies at the mo btw.

Thanks

James.

Engine + Driveline / Best Induction for M42?

« on: March 27, 2007, 02:18:04 PM »

It may just be me but it seems the induction side of the M42 engine is a bit unknown. There doesn't seem to be an answer to what i should do to help induction. I have tried a BMC carbon Airbox and to tell the truth it wasn't good. it sounded awesome! But i lost power low down and it felt a bit sluggish even though it was better up top. Does anyone have any solutions? Is standard better?

I am most likely going for throttle bodies but im very interested to know.

Cheers

James.

Hmm, hope you find one. Not sure wether Powerflow are a worldwide company or just the UK. Good luck anyways.
