It's one of the first mods I did to my ti & I've never looked back. http://www.logun.org/fog.htm | | | 04-02-2006, 12:58 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Portugal - Lisboa Posts: 205 | There isn't must to be gained by intakes on a TI except sound. Performance wise, the AFM limits the intake, and not the intake itself. __________________ Portuguese 318ti MODS: Staggered M Kontours; Mtec Side Trim with M3 badges; Mtec Steering wheel with Airbag; M3 Modified Shift Lever; M3 Leather Shift Knob, Leather Centre Arm Rest; Euro Clear turn signals; M3 Electric and Heated Side Mirrors; Cat replaced by straight pipe; Mtec Rear Bumper; E36 M3 Front Brakes with EBC Drilled and Slotted Rotors and EBC Red Stuff Pads; Vader Seats.

Intakes are for Hondas, the factory air box is fine, fogg it if you want a little extra flow. __________________ '99 Dinan M3 | | | 04-02-2006, 10:50 PM | #7 | Member Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Antelope Valley, CA Posts: 55 | does anyone have any installed pic of a fogged system? i really went to see that hose from the brake duct up to the air box. thats why i am not considering a fogged system. i have never seen one. | | | 04-02-2006, 10:52 PM | #8 | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 | unfortunately, i think it's hard to get a pic in there. __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles current mods: bilstein sports, bavauto springs, e30 m3 LCABs, solid metal ball joints, bavauto RSMs w/reinforcements, e30 3.73 LSD & halfshafts, supersprint cat-back exhaust, turner rear sway bar reinforcements, IE poly subframe & RTABs + camber/toe kits, powdercoated e36 32x front calipers, sport mirrors, H&R 28mmF/19mmR sway bars, x-brace, auto solutions SSK w/poly bushing upgrade, BMW CD43 head unit, DICE HD Radio w/iPod integration and "stealth" HD antenna, staggered style 68s, orange electronic TPMS, leather arm rest, JT Designs metal undertray acquired and awaiting install: heated seat kit, cali top switch relo, lumbar support kit, park distance control kit, heated washer nozzle kit, m-coupe rear subframe, trailing arms, differential, and halfshafts, m-coupe front/rear brakes with master cylinder, under hood light kit, mud flaps, rear sun blind, auto-dimming rear view mirror, tilt steering wheel retrofit, apexcone 5000K HIDs with 55W ballasts 2002 X5 4.4 Sport Package, 53.5k miles Current Mods: e46 m3 steering wheel | | | 04-02-2006, 11:19 PM | #9 | Member Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Antelope Valley, CA Posts: 55 | either that or could some one draw a detailed digram... | | | 04-03-2006, 01:51 AM | #10 | Member Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: San Diego Posts: 85 | I put in an intake into my car.After removing all the stock stuff i had a cone comming out of where the box is for the fan, this cone is pointing tword my intake. i was wondering what this is and if it would cause me any problems? anyone? thanks | | | 04-03-2006, 08:53 PM | #12 | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 | that's a nice bit of craft halek! __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles current mods: bilstein sports, bavauto springs, e30 m3 LCABs, solid metal ball joints, bavauto RSMs w/reinforcements, e30 3.73 LSD & halfshafts, supersprint cat-back exhaust, turner rear sway bar reinforcements, IE poly subframe & RTABs + camber/toe kits, powdercoated e36 32x front calipers, sport mirrors, H&R 28mmF/19mmR sway bars, x-brace, auto solutions SSK w/poly bushing upgrade, BMW CD43 head unit, DICE HD Radio w/iPod integration and "stealth" HD antenna, staggered style 68s, orange electronic TPMS, leather arm rest, JT Designs metal undertray acquired and awaiting install: heated seat kit, cali top switch relo, lumbar support kit, park distance control kit, heated washer nozzle kit, m-coupe rear subframe, trailing arms, differential, and halfshafts, m-coupe front/rear brakes with master cylinder, under hood light kit, mud flaps, rear sun blind, auto-dimming rear view mirror, tilt steering wheel retrofit, apexcone 5000K HIDs with 55W ballasts 2002 X5 4.4 Sport Package, 53.5k miles Current Mods: e46 m3 steering wheel | | | 04-03-2006, 11:49 PM | #13 | Member Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Antelope Valley, CA Posts: 55 | Quote: Originally Posted by halek | thats cool! thanks!! | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
