Cheap/Basic M42 Mods.

What diameter exhaust piping did you use? Yeah I have a turner chip, definitely helped out.

Forgive my ignorance, but what's ITB's?

The exhaust was 2 1/4" if I remember correctly.

The sound and throttle response of ITB's is amazing.

I always wanted to do the light weight single mass flywheel swap. It is supposed to be pretty good bang for the buck. Really doesn't cost any more to do than the normal dual mass when you have to replace your clutch.

What are the differences between the Dinan m42 chip, the Mark D chip, and the turner chip?

Is any one better than the other?

Different maps I guess, but the consensus seems to be that the Mark D 93 chip is the best (albeit most expensive) choice.

That's what I'm using and it works great! Took me from 107 whp stock to 116 whp with the chip.

yeah I just saw your thread over at m42 club.
I just picked up a alpine white 318is last night for 1200 bucks!

Clean title, very little wear and tear, and will be my builder project.

I really want a chip!

Good find. The chip was one of the best mods I've done so far. You'll love it.

what are the best m42 mods to get a little extra power? obviously the clear answer would be chipping, but aside from that, what are a few mods i can do to gain a little power here and there?

I'm 18. Yes Danny, I know your like 20 and age isn't an excuse, but I've been playing year round baseball the past 2 years basically, so I haven't had time for a job until the last few months.

[Danny]

No excuses.
