My 330d Current and future plans*** update page 12 ***

[ChefDJ]

Get the blanks off of eBay. Not expensive. And get the aluminium ones, not the plastic ones.

:thumbs:

 

[Nikhil]

my plan so far is
1 decat
2 control arm bushes and rear trailing arm bushes .
3 deflap (if i can find blanks )
4 vacuum lines

Good place to start :rollsmile: also removing and cleaning the intercooler helps alot :thumbs:

 

[Nikhil]

After all the above thats been done and the car feeling much better I decided to dyno at KAR today to get a new power figure.

Not ground moving power but its pretty decent :=):

 

[Nikhil]

whoops forgot the figures

 

[topclub]

So I havent updated this thread in a while

recently my egr thermostat had a bitch fit and decided it wanted to loose its fluids so i replaced it with a oem behr unit

Old vs new

She turned a graceful 170 000km :=):

 

[ChefDJ]

In her teens now :rollsmile:

Why didn't you just blank and remove the egr?

With being on leave yesterday and being bored out of my mind I decided to de cat the Diesel as it was long overdue. I came across some other minor issues which I will address soon, a bit of a boost leak on the charge pipe, rear diff mounts look a bit tired and so do the engine mounts. In the coming months I will be addressing the following.

Remove and clean intercooler
Egr delete and clean
Oil separator to be replaced
Swirl flap delete
Fix boost leak
Replace all rubber mountings , including all suspension mounts engine mounts gearbox mounts
Rear silencer delete:fencelook:

All in all I love this car and it brings me smiles every time I jump in and drive it:inlove:. I highly doubt I will do any performance mods to it in future as it already has an Ac Schnitzer chip.

iv been meaning to ask is there any reason you remove the egr and swirl flaps?

Well there have been isolated cases of the swirl flaps breaking loose and being swallowed by the intake thus resulting in an engine rebuild. The egr is more for emissions control so it recirculates the exhaust gas back into the engine which means higher charge temps and slight increase in fuel consumption as well as carbon build up in the intake, basically it’s the car eating its own shit hence the delete.
