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.

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
