my 328i m20

Dissapointing torque.

Dissapointing torque.

how so? it makes more at 3000rpm than a stock M20 makes peak..

A few subs and a cadillac badge and you could fool people into thinking you're driving an escalade...

but seriously, not a fan of the wheels. Cool rest of car.

I know, I'm not saying it has low torque, it's just a charecteristic of the m20 to have similar horsepower and torque. While he is making nearly 100 more horsepower, torque is not as significantly increased in comparison to the torque numbers that jordans m20 was making, with less extensive modifacation, and the same displacement. And I would also think the individual throttles would raise the powerband into higher rpm's than it did, impressive engine none the less.

nvm... i have the total bimmer issue... i could scan it for you guys... if ya want

id be interested in seeing that..

I wish I had an M20 that peaked at 7000rpm. Jesus.

Things like cam shafts 288 vs 272 have lots to do with if your car makes more torque or horse power and when it makes it.

Also individual throttles lean towards more horse power because the have short and fat runners.

Long and skinny makes tq short and fat makes hp.

love the car but it could use a strech

Yes, i know all this, besides the common misconception about intake runner length/diameter affecting torque output. Put an eta manifold on an m20b25 and it will, and I guarantee this: Make less torque, and power.

That may very well be, but I'll gaurantee you this: Put a 325i intake manifold on an eta, and you WILL lose low-end torque. I've done it. The increased airflow is noticeable, but I felt a dip in the bottom end. The long, skinny intake runners of the eta manifold are part of what give the motor its low-end grunt.

Dissapointing torque.

how is it disappointing?!!

it makes more torque per litre now than a standard m20b25 by quite a bit!

the reason it makes alot more power is the fact that it now continue to produce its torque to higher rpms

It is not a misconception. Perhaps you just need a car with intake tracts that are larger than drinking straws?

please post a VIDEO of that AWSOME car you got there :D
