E46 328ci - HP Upgrade

[bimmer_man]

Hi Guys, I own a e46 328ci - 2000 model. I would like to increase the H/Power on this car. Engine is standard and no modi has been done at this moment. Has this got something to do with ECU/remapping? How can i go about this? Could you advise me? What will be the cost for the upgrade u propose and where can i get this done? I dun want to make major/crazy changes to the engine but a few upgrades here and there - ok la tu. Take it easy on the racuning..... Just that - driving this car for the past 3 yrs - no more excitement in it already. May want to look into a M3. My mech - Selvam (old town) is not into modi and etc.... Not much of help he can do. Regards.

Air intake - you talking bout gruppe m? opss - its it how its spelled? Heard and read bout it.... considering.

Hi Bimmerman,

I would recommend the following which I have done to my E36 328 which has made a noticeable difference in terms of throttle response and acceleration

1)K & N Drop in filter - approx RM300+
2)Pivot Raizin Spark Earth - approx RMD280

hahahaha.... thanks 3ci. lets talk bout "entry level" la....

what i will start ..

1) What kind s/plugs? - i will prefer Volker (if can change the plug cable too)

2) Air intake - you talking bout gruppe m? opss - its it how its spelled? Heard and read bout it.... considering. - Yes Gruppe M (cost abit high)

Piping xhaust - please tell me more. (depend, this more effect on top speed as i know)

3) Power Pulley

4) Cam

5) Remap - where can i get this done? - (after mod all the above, really can feel the diffrent)

Ofcoz, also have to use better engine oil.. (im still prefer mobil-1 / motul )
just my2cent..:wink:

Cam - i thinks thats already mid stage level....

Dude - you may consider the following for entry level :

1. Volker iridium plugs Spec II - RM100/pc

2. Drop in K&N filter - RM300

3. Voltage Stabilizer - e-sonic racing (get 2 units - mount one unit to the rear battery and the other one to your positive earth connection at the front engine bay) - RM450/unit

4. piggyback ECU - UNICHIP - RM1,999

5. AC Exhaust system & custom manifold - RM5,000 or custom exhaust system from Jaafar (Sunway) - RM1000

6. Power Pulley - RM??

This should be more than enough to bring back some life to your already powerful 328ci......

Have fun bro....
