Subject: eta mods... very cool
I wanted to wait until I had a little experience with my latest mods
before I reported back to the digest. With about a week under my belt...
I started out with a stock 1986 325. So sloooowwwww... I added a 3.25 LSD
and a Dinan chip. Much more liveable. Later, I added new suspension with
better tires. Much more liveable still. However, if you are going onto a
freeway, you still had better turn off the ac! <g>
And then I talked to Will Turner...
K&N cone
325i catalytic converted (made by DEC)
Stromung exhaust
All I can say is... WOW! Acceleration is significantly improved. Engine
breathes well all the way to the redline! Horsepower seems to pick up
from about 2500 RPM onward. It feels like 0-60 is under 8 seconds, albeit
just barely. All in all about a good a set of mods as I have made -- and
I haven't even installed my heat shield from Milos Klacko yet!!
Complaints?
The exhaust gets boomy when accelerating from 2000-2500 RPM but is
otherwise unobjectionable. The loudness seems to increase in warm
weather, hmmm....
Anyway, just passing all this along for those who want to make their eta
engined cars go a little better.
Thanks Will!
