ahh ok so you would actually cover it in oil for a time, not just "varnish" it.
surely once you do that, you are gonna have to wash it again afterwards, otherwise it is just gonna pick up dirt super fast.

na just wipe off the residual that doesn't get absorbed with a paper towel. i use oil on every exterior plastic piece on the car...it works better than all those stupid expensive plastic cleaners and dyes. a bit messy though.

Hi, I'm considering doing this on my 323i. Thing is, will it be worth it? Has anyone ever done it before? If no one know's for sure I'll just do it and let all the other 323'ers know :P.
it will work, you will end up with 325 power and torque. maybe more maybe less.

Just for the record. I ran an SL500 twice yesterday. I got him once on I95, i saw him comming up on me pretty fast, i floored it, and he floored it, but i guess i got the jump on him and he couldnt catch up. Then we ran from a 10mph roll on the turnoff, and i had a half a car on him up until bottom of third when he started pulling and ultimetly walked me hard.

starting to gather parts/hoses to do my swop.
just got some questions.
on the underside of the manfold there are 2 holes.
The one needs to be plugged. Mine has some sort of electric connection in it, as in the picture below. What was the orginally for(air temp sensor?), and is it sufficiantly plugged as is?
.
also the one with the tube coming out, what is that?

the electrical connection is a obdI IAT sensor...it will not work as an IAT sensor for your app but it is a sufficient plug for the hole.Originally Posted by kabal
the other vacuum connection is where you are going to T off for your fuel pressure regulater (tiny hard plastic line) and your secondary air pump solenoid which is connected to your fuel rail electronically and has black with white stripe and black with blue stripe hoses and a check valve in line...I understand that there is another T required for 328 apps that will go down to what someone described to me as a vacuum storage cannister(??).
hope this helps.

another question concerning the 3/4" elbows and t-joints.
Are nylon ones sufficent from a longevity point of view.
also where do you guys get your fuel/emissions grade hosing? hardware store or autoparts? what is this stuff called?

I use hose and elbows made by Gates....I get them at a autoparts store...I wouldn't use nylon eblows and Ts... it gets pretty hot under there and they may collapse under the pressure of the hose clamps. actually if your not FI I would only use clamps on the connections under thee manifold...it is vacuum after all and they prob won't come off.Originally Posted by kabal
look for 3/4" fuel/emissions line. it won't break down over time.

all measurements are internal diameter of hoses.
3/4"
3/16"
3/8"
