E36 M3 CAI

[griffen]

Hi guys
Some nice guy that use to race his M3 gave me a cone filter for free when I bought his BC Racing coil overs

So I want to run the filter but
I know from my opels that unless you have a heat shield its simply going to suck in alot of hot air

I want to get hold or DIY something like this

I also found this, what do u guys think

I am told the induction sound is better so I will be happy with that and a little bit of an increase in performance is never bad either

What do has been the conclusions on what I am sure has been descussed many times on the forum

Bottom link is all well and good until you hit a nice puddle and suck water into your engine.

Good move on the BC's. I love mine

I have a set on my 2L 16v Corsa and they really good, hoping for the same on the M3

What did u set them to damper wise?

Started halfway, then moved to half, now Im 5 from full soft.
Must actually get someone that knows more then me to fine tune it for me.

And induction on the M3?
I have the std airbox with a K+N flatbed dry filter

Cant help you with that, Im pretty stock in the engine, apart from some uprated maintained parts.
