You could make it accelerate better for free by removing some weight

If you want a simple honest answer... you can't.
BHP costs money and these engines don't give much BHP increase per Ԛ£1 spent.
I'd look at making some driveability mods instead, for example, for less than Ԛ£50 you can do the Z3 shifter conversion if you haven't already and that makes a world of difference.

well if you find a way let us know.but as previously mentioned shedding excess weight would help enormously in the power to weight ratio for no cost.tell your girlfriend/wife to get the bus as shes slowing you downjaywe30 wrote:need alittle help finding out how do you get abit more bhp out of a e30 2.7, without spending to much money

other than the usual chip,filter and exhaust route there isnt that much for little money.even they 3 will set you back a few hundred quid then it gets more serious with costs

Don't bother with the filter, you won't gain anything over a clean OE filter.fuzzy wrote:other than the usual chip,filter and exhaust
What's in the ECU at the moment?
