Re: LSD FOR MY 325I e30, advice on ratio

Another thing, i fitted the diff 3.91 diff lastweek. Definitely better in my opinion than the 3.64.When on the highway in 5th i am now lying at 3300rpm as opposed to 2950rpm with the 3.64,so it isn't too ridiculous.My motor is stock as well

Re: LSD FOR MY 325I e30, advice on ratio

Hi Anton, 40.11 is a normal 3.64diff. I've recently acquired a 3.91 and it says 43.11 on the tag (43/11=3.91) or thereabouts..40/11=3.64 Hope that helps

The book says 325i, it's a 90 model and most of my friends have the same style airbox. It's only the 91 model that had the later style airbox down here.
The motorsport stripes was just me being bored :)

e30 325i with 3.91 diff

Hi Guys I have a 3.91 diff in the garage and have been contemplating fitting it this weekend. My car is stock standard and drive about 100km to work and back. Would this diff cause the revs to run ridiculously high while cruising on the highway? Currently at about 120kph in 5th, i'm doing round 3000...

Increasing fuel pressure

Hi guys

I've read somewhere a while back that you can increase the pressure by denting your stock regulator, this causes more tension on the spring inside increasing fuel pressure.
Can anyone confirm this ?
