Has Anyone Ever.....

.....put an E36 M3 donkey in an E30 but run it on throttle bodies or maybe even carbs ?
If so what were the results ?

Just wondered that's all

[ross_jsy]

You are aware s50's run on throttle bodies already right...

So yes, many have

[Darren325is]

Sorry, I meant an after market kit as in proper trumpets

[harry_p]

e36 m3s run on throttlebodies as standard, so every s50 converted e30 runs on them

It would only take an alpha n remap to be able to remove the maf and airbox and run them as open trumpets, which would sound absurd, but lose power compared to a carbon airbox, or possibly even the standard setup as they'd be pulling in hot air all the time.

They are proper trumpets.

Do you mean something like a carbon airbox? If so yes people have fitted them, but there are clearance issues with the servo

[Darren325is]

I meant something more like this where the trumpets are open

But that's a packaging issue rather than a performance modification

[harry_p]

like i say, get the ecu modified and you can run without the maf, and bung whatever trumpet you like on the end of the throttles
