yeh sounds dodgy..... it would be for installation reasons if i do it.... and space...M5pilot wrote:Why would you want to get rid of the intake? You'll lose loads of bottom end torque, and I mean loads.
People lose power on S38's simply be removing the airfilter......roughly 10 bhp.
That intake system is very well designed, they didnt even change it on the 3.8's.
Your putting in a 300bhp engine, isnt that enough? M5's are also very well mapped therefore you'd need to go through the whole process of mapping it etc.
You change anything to the intake system on that engine and youll lose power.
Information above is from people tuning their M5's and being very upset.
) I turned it down and lost the taper, then rethreaded it as M16x1.5, hole tapped job done, 4 wires to connect , then its alive !

We have just MS, we purchased ours ready made, the MS itself has been boxed, the relay board was loose, needed a plastic box making up and the loom was complete. We also have a base map installed on the MS so we can get going straight away, although we will be de-tuning the settings as the map is for silly power, a bit rich for us to start with really.Ogre wrote:Pardon my ignorance chaps but is that the MS2 ?
All we got with our MS setup was the silver box bit, we had to make everything else up ourselves.
Took us 4 days to get a note out of the engine coz no-ones put one on a Maestro.
Did u get all the settings for pulse width, etc with the install, or u have to figure it out yourself?
I don't know if him could stand another beard-scratcher like that
may lose a minimal amount of torque on the s38 somehwere cos it has a special intake resonance actuated flap in the plenum... which creates some kinf of passive supercharging effecthoshy wrote:Off topic sorry but re the post about s38 engines. why do you lose low end torque by changing the intake? and what are the general issues that apply to all engines in terms of intake/metering/torque?
sorry for the off topic
Minimal amount of torque??.........My resonance flap stopped working and I can tell you I felt it big time. I got worried there was something wrong with my engine and then found what the problem was and fixed the flap.Karan wrote:may lose a minimal amount of torque on the s38 somehwere cos it has a special intake resonance actuated flap in the plenum... which creates some kinf of passive supercharging effecthoshy wrote:Off topic sorry but re the post about s38 engines. why do you lose low end torque by changing the intake? and what are the general issues that apply to all engines in terms of intake/metering/torque?

its quite large Email FTW Email FTWWell hopefully your's will come back fixed and we can see what the 'issue' is with mine.ant wrote:Get it back from Bill on Tuesday Mark, will know more then M8
yours has no comms feedback with no power, feedback with power, so I stand by what said before its a comms issue your end M8, the MS appears to be 100%
its gotta be a config issue.
Shoot her back to me if youy want m8 and I'll test on the stim for ya? unless you can wait a few days then I'll have hopefully finished with it and you can play @ your leisure M8
the choice is yours.......................

just gotta wait for them to travel accross from the US now, oh and no doubt pay VAT and customs on them
Mark, basemap modded and datalogged, now setup for NB 02 sensor and the yellows @ 4.5 BAR.
Pulsewidth duty was over 100% @ 6K rpms, not so good
thats without any accel enrich too
Intercooler should be here Monday, guess I'll get the MiG warming up

Airflow meter finally comitted to the bin , WOHOOO !
Cant tell you what a relief it was to finally hear her roar into life without the hateful device.
All the live data to laptop is sorted and working, I am a little lean @ idle but will sort once the remaining charge pipes are made, I think I'm possibly pulling too much air @ the moment, I can alter the map to suit but thats a wasted effort for the time being, its running and thats good enough.
Throttle response is awesome, so much crisper without the flap spoiling the party, makes a lovely noise too
