Sorry Guys if things seem lacking in updates, we are
just waiting for those guys at 'that' magazine to sort
out some dyno numbers..... Full prices are avialbale
inculding full systems. But they are dependant on
numbers as per manifold.



PS. Sorry Nick !!!!!!

This is the definative price list from BTB.
Check with them if you need to.

The mag is out! Although I'm more interested to see how it fares at the Northants RR day... hopefully there will be someone with a fairly similar setup to compare to.

Prices are great, works out as £800 for a manifold back SS system!

BUT, will just the centre and rear BTB sections fit on to a standard s14 manifold? Im assuming as it says 325i it wont, but then we know a standard system will fit the BTB manifold? Can anyone find out a definitive answer?

May be an idea to post this on E30 zone too if the systems fit 325i's?

This is very interesting, is it me or no one has mentioned that the primaries are very long! Compared to the 50/50 or 50/55 manifold!

Here is a pic of mines wrapped up and its been modified to fit RHD.

John, I have a list of places that do all engine, head,
valve, header etc coatings I worked out about £350
for a whole engine including all ports, pistons the lot.

Dyno results were not that special, but.... Nicks
engine might not be 'wild' enough or with matched
components to truely make it sing, there were
losses in places and small gains in others.

I don't want to scan it in because of © thats why I
asked Nick to post it, still waiting.
Did you see the other pics of the joins, Y sections a
couple of pages back?

Sorry guys, slipped my mind.

I'm looking forward to the results with the airbox, cams and Alpha N tuned properly.

Here it is - ignore the lower line...

Just get the most expensive one from the list (for your stock engine...) At least it will look impressive.

Tuned properly? Are you still driving on the MAXX base map?

It's on the base map, yes, but it's not been driven until it gets tuned!

I thought I had already explained this to you in PM Uwe?
