dont remove your headlight

shit, you should have tested a swissed air box before putting everything back together.

all that would do is let in more hot air, and let out more cold air? and sound cool:)

redid the setup with new stuff

Does anyone else not care and just love the way it sounds? :p

ive got a stock airbox, in what way does a CAI change the sound?

[kamotors]

It might be an obvious questions but what about water? I know it might be only a small bit of water but don't you have to worry about rain either falling from the sky or from a car/truck. Just curious.

the suction is not all from the front, the side also breath 90%, its no going to be able to pull water uphill if there no suction there.

can you hear a difference inside the car when accelerating?

wow, your throttle response is horrible :(

sounds ok though :p

haha, yeah the car wasn't warmed up fully yet, so it was running a little rich. Aren't e30's supposed to run rich until they are fully warmed up?

remember, his car has a torque converter :)

that doesn't matter reving in neutral, remember my car was an automatic once upon a time, and it was never like that. there's more than a half second delay between opening the throttle and the RPMs changing. I can hear it when he opens the throttle blade. Perhaps caused by the M30 AFM "upgrade"? ;)

that's true of cars in general, it can take up to 4 times as much fuel as normally required to run an engine cold.

no, the m30 afm actually helped, when its cold, it goes- suck in air,rev up,rev down, burble burble.
whens its warm-its suck in air while revving up.

is this better? i never floor it it in the video.

I hate to tell you this, but that big delay between when you hit the throttle and your engines actually revs is caused by the M30 AFM, as is the big sucking noise in between the 2. The same thing happened to my engine when I tried it. You hit the gas, the AFM door opens and goes 'whoosh', and then about a 0.5-1 second later, the engine decides to actually rev. It sucks, which is why I don't run the M30 AFM.
