looking good , hows the differance ?

 

[UpNcOmiNg!]

Now all you need M3 throttles and an adaptor and you sorted dude
Did you keep your 325i intake? it allows more flow then the 328i 1....

 

[Phoenix]

Yip i kept the M50 intake.

@Don: Huge difference. Car feels like it's on steroids!

 

[DonovanPorter]

awesome , so glad everything worked out in the end , have you had it on a dyno yet?

 

[moranor@axis]

how much did this cost you? ive been thinking of stroking my car... do you have a dyno graph?

 

[Snoop328i]

Nice :thumbsup:

 

[Phoenix]

No dyno yet,

I got all the parts from the previous owner as part of the deal when i bought the car as he was busy planning the stroke when i bought the car. i only had to buy Gasket sets and pay for engineering and consumables and that came to R5 100.

 

[moranor@axis]

if you can ask him how much it would cost someone else to do it... i guessed it would cost about 20k but im just guessing

ive been thinking of stroking my car...

Feeling a bit touchy today?

Just spoke to my machy. He said to work on 24 - 25k provided you can get good condition second hand parts.

thanks looks like i was pretty close dont think it will be worth it for me because the displacement does not give you much extra when supercharging... i may do something if i decide to up the boost and have to rebuild the engine anyway...

how does this car compare to the vert?

Well it does discredit Durban drivers....so ja it is a touchy subject now just as when it was publicly commented in a magazine a few years back

It would make the vert like it was looking for parking. I'm keen on realistic performance testing if anybody is game.....
