Well, I'm glad that its not just mine that sounds tappety

[tylerma]

nice wave in the side window dude.

it looks very good mate
I dont really know what the throttle response is like on an M20
but it does look very sharp

Its been so long since I drove my M20, I cant remember what the response is like
Does sound good though, good work Ant

Throttle response is MUCH better than an AFM equiped car - Ive driven this car. Makes a hell of a noise aswell.

What exhaust is that? The new Big bore 4?

[oguz327]

That looks like a big improvement Ant fair play!
Is that a tech 1?

yep thats a tech 1 nice zorst

yo!! oguz3001
i always preferd purple Akuma

[Ant]

yeah exhaust looks a little oddball,its an add on for the wideband whilst tuning here's a close up: BIG PIC WARNING !!

Lol wilson, ken was the don

Ant a bit off topic, but i noticed only half the carpet is in that tech 1, how come? just stripping my interior down now and was wondering if you can do one side at a time without cutting?

[Ant]

@ Oguz, no mate, you gotta chop it up, if your carpet is mint try and get hold of Scott325SE, he was after a good one, then maybe you can chop his less than mint one?

Anyone who's got a 325i will know that is a marked improvement in performance, i.e responsiveness.

On mine at the moment cos its running some crappy fse you need to blip it a couple of times to build the revs, before you see any throttle response like that.

Well done that man. Looks like a nice addition to any 325i- that coupled with the BTB and im sure it goes very well. You say it sounds a lot deeper. How does the alteration of the spark/firing order?? change the engine note?

Look forward to chatting to you on Saturday.

Keep up the good work.

You need to adjust it mate. I had one years ago on a 316i, and after some adjustments it worked quite well.

This is a big problem i find with heel/toeing, you really need to either give it a big boot in which case you end up braking too sharply, or blip it a couple of times by which time you've slowed down so much you might as well not bother at all.

Any suggestions on how you adjust this chu346? And having a stiff throttle pedal doesn't help either, any ideas how you can sort this out, it has a bit of a grate towards the end of the stroke and a sort of crunchy click right when it hits the stop? Any ideas.

That repsonse looks pretty sweet to me though Ant! Another one for the project list!

[Geoff]

William you can adjust the afm by un-screwing the nut on the end (assuming you have an f.s.e) and taking a screw driver screw in the bolt a few times, or un-screw it. This adjusts the fuel pressure.

To get it set up properly you need a pressure guage and then have it mapped on a rolling road. Stinks of effort in my opinion.

Besides when a standard fuel regulator can cope with producing at least 210bhp as is confirmed by Hartge / Alpina then why change it when your running a standard car or even one with a cam, exhaust and filter?

All in my poinion of course and experience as i have run one of these on my old H26 whilst i was running an M30 afm conversion.

But give it a wirl. I'll be removing mine soon, so if you want one to try out, make me an offer.
