More Air, Not more power!DazzyA wrote:might see some power gains, only reason. Every little helps and all that.

So if I took off my airbox so more air can get into my engine would it have 10 bhp more??DazzyA wrote:Is that not the same thing, forced induction and all that?
I don't know too much about this Steve, but a lot of people remove their standard filter and replace with an aftermarket cone etc.. to enable more metered air to be inducted. If you had a "larger" metering system that would surelylet more air in, the ecu would in turn deliver more fuel so resulting in better compustion, mor air, more fuel equals more power.
I may be well off track here, it's just my thoughts.
At the end of the day it gets dark.

Thats cool, I dont think it will do anything!DazzyA wrote:I don't know too much about this Steve, but a lot of people remove their standard filter and replace with an aftermarket cone etc.. to enable more metered air to be inducted.

I like the quote: At the end of the day.........it gets Dark! Might add that to my list of quotes!
it will only gain you more power if the original is a "restriction" on the engines air supply at the higher end of the rpms, the restriction might be the throttle butterfly size before its the air flow meter, you would have to measure as i dont know if thats a "restriction" on the E30 engines
and even then i dont know how you would go about calibrating the fuel injection to the possibly different signals

The M30 afm (535i) does fit, the later ones have the same circuit board so don't need modification. However they are a twat to set up correctly even an experienced engine tuner had problems setting one up for my 2.7.
This mod only works if you've modified the engine and need more airflow into the engine, the 325i tends to run on the lean side anyway so fitting this to an unmodded 325i will more than likely lose you power.
It would work ok with a 2.7 or a 2.5 with mods like wild cams/gasflowed ports/ bigger injectors etc but only with a proper re-map.
I wouldn't bother if I were you, spend your money on something that will give you gains like a zone chip.
