Looking for 3.46 differential for e46

[andrewbuch]

anyway 10% of 250 kph is only 25 :rollsmile:

How much difference will a 3.46 make to a car running a 3.38?

In terms of acceleration & increase in revs per KM/h?

 

[moranor@axis]

its only a 2% difference to both... according the gizmo the 318i runs a smaller diff to the other e46... so you would have to go with the auto ratio which is 4,44...

it would be about a 31% difference which is huge... your car will rev like a mofo on the highway thou with that ratio...

Stupid 318i of mine

---

always wants to be different from other models

 

[moranor@axis]

crawl under your car and take some pics of your diff so we can make sure it looks different :=):

Rgm's figures are on the fl
y! We only work uncorrected @ the wheels. No but definitely did not do something wrong! Modding cars are what we do. We have superchargerd a V8 M5 very successfully. As I said robs brother had the car to sort the issues, also pieter de weerdt from dastek had the car as we gave up! Turbo lag is so minimal if you have the correct turbo and manifold design! I honestly hope your car is a success but please phone rob and ask the why they do not SC the 323i and only start from 325i and upwards.

RGM gave me a quote on my car... maybe they could not work it out at the time...

i can buy 3 different kits for my car that are strait bolt on with an ecu tune you must have somehow missed something...

you should put the 323i turbo in the show room section i know i would love to see more of it :rollsmile:

I have no doubt in your tuning abilities. I never meant to put you down in any way, Im just saying that we are taking a different approach.

We had a vortex V2 on a E46 323i and on 0.7bar the car made 147kw @ wheels and about 270nm car was nice to drive but not fast! The diff will help for that!
We turbo'ed that same car and on 0.7 bar it made 216kw @ wheels and was crazy fast! Don't expect too much from the supercharger! We are currently making 151kw with my brothers N/A 328i..
What does the supercharger kit cost you in total?

How do you get 151kw from an N/A 328?

My e36 325i standard with 3.46 diff does 90 in 2nd , 135 in 3rd , 180 in 4th and 225 in red in 5th . Guys have remarked on 60 -140 etc , it is quick ( here at sea level ) . I think my 328i will just stay ahead........time for diff swop :fencelook:
At 120 328i does 3000 revs and 325i does near 3500 .
