For the twin Gt3076s, i am building the intake manifold and I am stuck with the intake runner length.

M3 3.2L engine has six individual throttle bodies, and I would like to know if I should stick to longer runners for improving the mid rpm power band.

Gt3076s will be laggy and I am expecting to have full boost at around 5800 rpm. So, longer runners map improve spool up time?

Your opinions are appreciated.

on that motor it shpould be all on by 3k.

basicly you want to leave the runners/length as factory. its an awsome factory set-up. especally if you still have the standard cams, also it will probably throw a leg out of bed if you get good power. (there built very light internaly to rev)

all changing the runners will do is loose torque at low revs and make it laggier becauseof this.

i have stock cams 260/260. And another set of 288/280 cams.

The point is i am able to change overlap with the variable valve timing through oem ecu.

I will start with the stock 260 cams, play with overlap and see on Dynamics. Then, I will change to 288/280 cams.

Max engine speed is 9000 rpm, so i believe i need higher duration cams at those higher engine speeds.

Thank you for the replies.

    • We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.
    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
