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 can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
