Post up pics of your work 320ipyro 08-21-2005, 04:27 PM thats what i was thinkin of doin... i was gona run big tubes down to the spoiler and have it push air into the throttle body (or carburator for me) Jmabarone 08-21-2005, 10:23 PM I think Matt (MattE21) makes/made them. I was thinking that I might want to purchase one later on down the road.

MattE21 08-22-2005, 12:20 AM any pics of it in place? :dunno Realnez 08-22-2005, 12:38 AM where did you relocate the batt? JC72 08-22-2005, 01:13 AM the trunk probably.... MattE21 08-22-2005, 01:24 AM the trunk probably.... i like this guy already :cool battery's in the trunk http://e21.tricord.be/members/FastE21/a0009.jpg BMRBOBB 08-22-2005, 04:57 AM nice ride Matt, I like it a lot. bLuE e21 323i 08-22-2005, 12:44 PM Since this is about CAI's i thought i asked if anyone know how to make one for the m20 6cylinder. There's some kind of electrical air flow meter before the intake box. Sorry about my wording. I'm kind of tired right now. Thanks Broly238 08-22-2005, 02:30 PM i like this guy already :cool battery's in the trunk http://e21.tricord.be/members/FastE21/a0009.jpg Someones not trying to show off or anything.... :rolleyes :D MattE21 08-22-2005, 07:54 PM Someones not trying to show off or anything.... :rolleyes :D :rofl Jmabarone 08-22-2005, 10:20 PM you can't be a ricer without a new intake and some subs... kidding, you aren't a ricer, Matt... Jake MattE21 08-22-2005, 10:41 PM you can't be a ricer without a new intake and some subs... kidding, you aren't a ricer, Matt... Jake Both were done as experiments, and to see if it could be done. I love trying my hand at lots of different things, wether it be pipe bending or fiberglass and electrical work. Unique and schnazzy if you ask me! ;) Jmabarone 08-23-2005, 05:04 PM I actually like your designs. I must compliment you on them. The custom trunk bit is nice. I'm a poor high school student so I can only afford one sub, but I'd buy a piece like that if you made them. And the CAI with shield. Excellent. The heatshield is one of the things that is overlooked on many CAI kits, the entire point of a CAI is lost if it can get air from the engine compartment. Anyways, if you still have one, how much? It'll probably be awhile, seeing as how I have A: no money B: no job C: no car that runs... Jake sil0kin 08-24-2005, 12:01 AM speaking of i just wired the temporary subs and amp up, 1600w power so far.. things will get much nicer and better in the future. (im a fan of Drum-n-Bass, House/jungle, and alot of hardcore) :stickoutt MattE21 08-24-2005, 01:26 AM I actually like your designs. I must compliment you on them. The custom trunk bit is nice.

Craggd 08-24-2005, 02:23 AM How much for the CAI? Thx, Dave useless 08-24-2005, 03:20 PM Id be interested in a CAI too. JC72 08-24-2005, 07:34 PM id be interested too, i already have a k&n filter so how much would it be just for the tubing and heatshield? MattE21 08-25-2005, 01:28 AM the kits i sell are just for the steel intake pipe and the heat shield. K&n's can be found most anywhere, and at various prices. the kit is $80 shipped Realnez 08-25-2005, 01:55 AM With your kit does the batt have to be in the trunk? Snarcher! 08-25-2005, 07:52 AM http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y238/sil0kin/E21/e21psopd.jpg whooooaoa more pics!!

Whoooooaoa More Photoshop!!!! oldskool3 08-25-2005, 11:33 AM With your kit does the batt have to be in the trunk? It has to be relocated somewhere as the intake tubing runs right through the stock battery location. You can buy a rear strut tower brace from top end performance that comes with everything to relocate the battery to the trunk. http://www.racetep.com/rbrace.html or just run it back there yourself without the strut brace. sil0kin 08-25-2005, 01:26 PM yea thats pshopped i had it written in my sig. hah..a sphincter saysss....what?..

Its a cheaper route, but the struts probibly hold a ton better. useless 08-25-2005, 02:47 PM How much better is the driving with a CAI on a 320? Im kinda torn between going turbo (expensive...but fun!) or just doing a cheaper CAI. :help JC72 08-26-2005, 03:36 AM a CAI is going to give you nothing compared to a turbo....you ::might:: notice the difference with just a cold air intake but you would definately notice the increase with a turbo...i would guess you might get 5hp out of a cold air intake on a m10 but a turbo could gain you about 60hp.... blitzed310 08-26-2005, 03:21 PM How much better is the driving with a CAI on a 320? Im kinda torn between going turbo (expensive...but fun!) or just doing a cheaper CAI. :help :rolleyes CAI=$50= No Gain (slightly, but you wont notice it) Turbo=$3000= HUGE Gain And your torn between what again.... MattE21 08-26-2005, 03:37 PM i wont lie, a CAI on an M10 will do nothing other than sound cool, and whistle at certain throttle positions. TheNeek 08-26-2005, 04:00 PM :rolleyes CAI=$50= No Gain (slightly, but you wont notice it) Turbo=$3000= HUGE Gain And your torn between what again.... Yeah, no doubt... CAI all the way. |
