firstly hi to all

aint rele post much up on here but found some rele interesting readin... so wud like to say hi to all :D

ok......

i got a e36 328i and after most of the external looks done to my liking but without goin over the top i am now lookn to go onto the power mods and wonder wot i can get dne. so far i got the CAI from teddy who he fitted personaly randomly on one night in his garage a lil while back (many thanks agen for that mate). i got the BBTB and BB manifold on its way and lightweight flywheel already fitted but is there nethin else i can do to get the bhp numbers up and over the 240ish mark which is wot it will b sitting on after the above parts.

obviously someone out there will say "supercharge it" lol but im lookn for naturally aspirated power. so wots the options????? im a lil lost to say the least since im still at uni and although the budget is flexible im lookn to be realistic bout it all.

ne hlp is appreciated ;)

Rolling road remap would be a good option if you've not already done it :) My brother had his M52B28 done by west tuning in thurxton. Its got the M50 manifold and BBTB + an eisenmann. Results were very good. Resulted in a large wadge more torque in the mid range and a bit more peak power (roller showed 220 on the first run before mapping) BTW this is with the stock airbox and paper filter:

ohhhh thansk for that. i was thinkn of getin that done but wasnt sure about the kind of powers or benifts i wud hav got but from wot i can see it well worth it jus for the torque alone.....
