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.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
