ETA 0-60 stock or modded, post up.

I got 10 mpg this winter with my eta, but that was sideways in a parking lot the whole day. I get 24 normally, driving like an ass. What is the best chip for them? I am tired of my friends 540 beating me all the time.:)

I never had my eta over 110-115ish

Thats because they only go that fast?

[TopOfTheLine89]

My eta actually sucked gas like a 60's big block. I got maybe 16 mpg tops. That was 3/4 highway driving.

Something must have been wrong, when i drive mine hard i get 21 mpg with hardly any highway.when i drive for economy i get 25-27mpg. ETA insurance is so cheap, i love it, its 500 less a year than my old Turbo Z. Also should i expect to loose alot of torque when i switch to an i cam?

You had some very serious problems then. I never got below 27 with mine, and I get 30 with my m50 swap and 3.73s

[e30_325es]

You better believe I lost torque w/ that cam, 2.93 gears sucked w/ it. I loved the 4.10s, and the 3.73's are ok, gets you into the power band much quicker.

I prefer to call it a hybrid, rather than a 2.7i. I do have dual springs, but they are Catcams stiffer springs, matching the camshaft.

And it ought to get better gas mileage than my 16 to 17 MPG around town.

i guess you've got the 2.7i? dual springs?

if your talking to me, no. im getting some real soon though, and i already have the i cam.

Wow, I've missed a lot. You guys need proof of my 15.4 @ 89mph w/ an eta? And for the 148whp/146wtq made on a dyno? Also a 6 or 7 second 0-60 run.



Ported eta head, 283 cam, 325i intake, throttle body, electronics, MarkD chip, 19# injectors, m30 afm, long tube headers to 2.5in exhaust.

I beleive ya, do performance cams take away from your torque?

what else was done to your car?

Road & Track

I'd like to see the R&T articles to check the 0 to 30 or 40 times.

Most of my driving (and probably yours, too) is stop-and-go city driving--slamming on the brakes, followed by mashing the gas peddle.

The eta ought to do pretty well in that kind of driving, having good torque down low. And it ought to get better gas mileage than my 16 to 17 MPG around town.

[TopOfTheLine89]

all 318s are slower than eta stock, here are the numbers for the late model e30 318is

0-60 mph: 9.8 seconds
1/4 mile: 17.3 seconds
Top speed: 122 mph (electronically limited

[rThor432]

Doubtful

Yep.

[Firestorm]

Doubtful

[LivingLegend06]

Is a 318is faster than a chipped eta?

[Firestorm]

well i know my 325 in it's old guise would stomp both my other 323i's, never timed it though. I'm guessing it'd do it in about 8s. Chipped with 3.46lsd.
