My search for more NA power (Dyno time) - Page 2

I have a custom one I built as a prototype long before I knew there was a long to option available, it's not mandrel bent, and it is made to fit my Z. If I can dig it up, I'll send it your way for sure (it might be a bit dusty though) I'd recommend trying to run that filter and velocity stack on it, if possible. Interested still?

FYI, I'd also like to add that your numbers reflect those of Adam's when he had the shorty type Confronti Intake (220lb-ft)

3.5 inch piping?

Yep. After discussing it with him, I decided I'd go ahead and do a cone. He said he saw differences in the A/F when he added the Conforti.

Ahh, You have the B30 with larger inlet piping. Sorry, it's just 3 inches.

aggieE46 · 07-19-2010, 03:31 PM

No worries. Thanks for the offer, though. Keep your fingers crossed on the exhaust.

would an M3 airbox + piping fit in a regular 330i ?

aggieE46 · 07-19-2010, 09:09 PM

Short answer is no.

Here's my dyno.

File names are confusing, sorry. Blue is back in January. Conditions were 72 degrees, green was last weekend with 99 degrees.

You can see that I picked up a little bit everywhere. REALLY need to get some tuning done to knock out that big dip at 4200.

Only changes were the intake that I pictured above and an oil change. I also reset my throttle adaptations, but I do that every time I dyno.

didn't I hear that dip was from the DISA aka idle control valve flap action? If you haven't yet you could try unplugging it during a dyno run and see if things smooth out.

aggieE46 · 07-26-2010, 07:27 PM

Well, I've been told that it helps a lot with low end torque. I think it can be tuned out.

Do you mind telling us where you got the velocity stack? I really like that intake setup and think I will do that to my car. Right now I have no heat sheild and I am sure that's hurting power, I'm also not using a velocity stack and think that would help.

aggieE46 · 07-26-2010, 08:27 PM

It's a BLOX stack and filter. I think I got the stack and filter on Ebay. Bought the 3.5 to 4 inch elbow at siliconeintakes.com. I'll probably eventually buy a different filter (slightly shorter), but it was cheap and I just wanted to make sure it would work. AFE makes one that's slightly smaller, but it's fairly expensive.

Check out Vibrant for parts, too. They make a nice aluminum stack.

tylerc · 07-26-2010, 10:02 PM

so why didn't you just get a 3.5" stack?

Iceman00 · 07-26-2010, 10:02 PM

I seriously suggest a longer tube for your intake. Not because of the cold air, but because of air turbulence and resonance tuning. Check my sig.

tylerc · 07-26-2010, 10:17 PM

I did have the thought of a 90 bend right before the maf... on my other car the intake is long and in the fender but it gets very dirty very quickly, which i don't like, however I suppose if there is that much of a difference...

And that would be asking for flow separation right in front of the MAF sensor leading to inaccurate readings.

Oh...it flattens things out alright, just not in a good way.

Disa=resonance flap
Iacv=idle air control valve

4 inch was really easy to find at the time, and fairly cheap.
