e92 328xi, change intake to make same power as 330i?

tizzyd · 05-18-2008, 03:47 PM

in all other markets besides the us, there is a 325 and 330 e92. I was wondering, because i know the only difference between the 325 and 330 was the intake, if i could put the 330i intake on the 328i engine and make 260 horses like the old 330i did. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

that'd be cool but i doubt an intake would net you 30hp

you do understand that its not an intake, its a three stage intake manifold, that requires diffrent software and will cost a lot.

Hey there's a great 26 page thread you can throw away a few hours of your life reading on this subject.

Or I can make it simple.

You can't do it.

I wish it was that easy...

An intake will definitely help but there are a variety of other changes between the engine platforms including software.

It's not just an intake, there are other things that are modified. To make it simple, you can buy the Turner Motorsport solution for $4K plus labor:
