^Josh, nooby question. What intake/maf setup is that? It actually looks legit unlike most of these 24v swap options.

[ck_taft325is]

KA Motors.

I'm running the same setup. Amazing sounding/looking all around.

[87e30]

Yeah looks legit. I'm all about that ebay at the moment haha.

Just the air filter is KA Motors. M5x engines come with an MAF stock.

I wonder how it would look josh if you made a panel out of aluminum or steel to cover the area behind the headlights on the passenger side. This part I mean:



I just think everything in your engine bay is all smooth and flat except for that one area. Kind of sticks out. If there was a panel there, it would be all nice and flat. You could just use a few screws to hold it into place. Bedliner it to match.

Sounds good to me, come over and take some measurements.

Battery is on the charger, engine is full of oil, power steering filled, waiting on a speedbleeder later today to bleed the brakes, and then I'm firing this thing.

Turn the maf to the 10-11 o'clock position, This is with you facing the front of the car. heard it gives a bit more power.

No idea how that could be possible.

A few tuners over on bimmerforums were talking about it, can't for the life of me remember exactly.

[Jand3rson]

Well, I'm pretty sure it's bullshit, and even more sure that I'm not doing it.

[416stroker]

Does something go on the front of that air box?

[shiboujin]

It's like when gangsters go for the kill shot. They put their guns at an angle.

Just make a template out of cardboard or paper and bring it over. We should have some aluminum sheet that would work.
