I purposely made mine blend it and boring looking so it wouldn't stand out, last thing I want is attention.

It's not even low, it's probably in the top 10% of the world's highest R33s LOL

I think this proves my point moreso than yours, this is absolutely a more sporting looking vehicle than a M340i sedan. It is boring to you as you've seen it for many years, this is the human condition 😛

the M340i Wagon sure makes me horny, too bad we don't get it here :( 

Mrs Dose Pipe also says no to wagons, SUVs or a UTE(lolwtfbbq yes) only for a family car. I can get a wagon as a daily for myself though :)

If need wagon then rs4 will tick the box 

Price difference brah, M340i is still dreaming territory in terms of coinage, RS4 is true drug dealer league lol

They were talking M3s at one stage which the price point is closer the the rs4 and then both can see who has the bigger stone attached to their resale value

More updates less euro trash talk 😂

LOL... bloody surrounded by haters here!

Updates soon, promise :) 

 

Updates to the intake department, using an old intake pipe as a guide. That's going too 😁

Yeah I know, could easily reuse it blah blah blah but I want to sell it as a kit with my old intake cover, catch can setup.

Just final mock ups before it sees the powder coater with the subframe.

As someone who is just starting to adapt the JSAI alloy airbox into my car..... and realising how 'fun' its gonna be.

What's the bottom line of this look like, the one that follows the chassis, lines, etc?

doesn't really line up to anything down there, I'll snap up some photos when I get the car back :)

So... how does it seal, and not just pull air from the engine bay via the gaps?

there's no real "seal" however there is sufficient air to be drawn from the OEM side mount piping holes, guard, etc.

Would be great to fully seal it and have it suck only chilled external air, however it's a turbo car, with a decent FMIC so I'm not too concerned with the compressor inlet temperature, just as long as the intake air temp is sub 40~50 degrees at full tilt with awful amounts of boost thrown at it.

You don't need to "seal" an airbox, you just need the air coming in to positively pressurise the space enough to stop hot air being drawn in. 

Just having an air guide can be enough on its own depending what's feeding it. 

Surely having a pod in there removing all of the air in the box will cause it to draw from around the edges? I guess not with an air ram/scoop but the proof is in the IAT's really... but as discussed _less_ important on a turbo car as your intercooler is doing most of the work. But it helps to lessen the load the cooler must do though.

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
