How can i improve my E32 730iL ( Auto ) acceleration /pick-up.Can i just change the rear diff to a smaller no./ratio ( is it lower or higher ratio we call them ? )Thanks.:top:p/s : running 100kph at 2200 rpm.
 
Th3 M30B30 is rather a bullet proof engine and quite torquey. If the acceleration is slow.... wondering what are You benchmarking it with. it whoudl do a 0-100 around 10-12. if it is that range.. then you should not do anything to it. otherwise... you should check your vacuum hoses and timing sensors. both the cams and the crank. Sometimes the vacuum hoses leak and not giving enough vacuum to advance the timing and thats the main reason M30 loosses its power. otherwise.. like i said before.. M30 is bullet proof.

AAM.. kalau nak laju macam i punye V8... kena transpalnt a M60 lah.. LOL
 
check condition of your spark plug cables.. that could be one of the culprits.
 
come on kgb.. not that kind of conversion... keep the UDM mark.. and not jap-erdise it..

Update: Issue taken care off. I am happy with the take-off acceleration - its already 2 weeks, no problem.

A lot of thanks to alantiong, mizhan and others.

p/s : running 100kph at 2200 rpm.

in this order
1) change engine oil&filter, check air filter, check/clean/change spark plugs ,...also adjust throttle cable,
2) check/change dist cap & rotor, inspect plug wires, check/adjust CO2 level, adjust valves..
