If anyone cares...

Mods are gruppeM intake and dinan exhaust... i been told my HP will go up after my car has more miles on it. I only have 3500 now.

I really thought i would get more hp, but nooooo. :o

Heres your chance to make fun.

 

I thought it's 225hp on wheels for stock 330i. But may be humidity or other factors affect the result??

 

To the wheels? Crank power is rated at 225hp.... not wheels...

 

what are typical gains for i/e?

 

So you got about 8% with intake and exhaust, sounds pretty good to me..

 

what is the weight of the 330Ci? i think it's a beautiful car and would love to own one,but i'd have to have the M3 and well short of lotto that's not happenin'

 

Then this is sad...we get 35more HP (type-S) yet you still get equal amount at the wheel. Is yours a stick by any chance?

 

what ? 196??

thats about the same as a STOCK auto cl-s

 

at least you make more torque than hp :o

 

Im just curious if you still think you can hang with our CL's?

 

well im actually not suprised by the numbers... everyone told me that the 3.0 engine is tuned from the factory so its hard to get any more gains out of it.

people have gotten 194hp out of their stock 330... so my intake and exhuast seems like it didnt help much... but my torque gained about 15lbs

 

im guessing mid 14s... i will know once spring time comes around.



edgalang, yea mines a 5-speed manual

 

O yea u want to race I'll fucking race u for pink slips. Just kidding, madd props. Dude forget the dyno ur car is quicker or as quick as the new 280 hp 2?? torque G35 coupe its just a # game to sell cars. Good shit.

 

Yeah man...congrats...you know im just giving you shit. Im sure you are just as quick as we are

 

Who would make fun of that. It's a nice car regardless of the dyno. I like the fact that it makes more torque then hp

I would have bought a 330 myself but I'm such a cheap bastard, I had to settle for the CLS

 

Might to too much to ask...but how much were the intake/exhaust? I know anything Dinan would cost a pretty penny (and to make it worse...this is comming from a guy who thinks 1200 for headers is expensive).

 

Not bad for a car that'll do mid 14 runs in the 1/4...

 

Intake was 500....
exhaust was 800...
but i got the exhaust for $200....

reason im kinda upset with the numbers is that these parts are cheap, and i wanted more out of them i guess... ahh well. Still a fun car.

 

:pfawk: What an understatement. I'll trade ya anytime.

 

Not bad at all, considering the output the car would pull well and is does have good gearing. Sure beats the heck out of my wife's E46 328i, that has more WHP than she does crank HP (damn them for upping the displacement a years after she took delivery...)

But seriously, with the gearing and that torque curve, along with the lower weight, it would run well past most cars and be styling while doing it.

 

You need free flow headers

 

Im looking into that.. but it seems that they are not street legal and really loud cuz you have to take the cats off... but hmm i wonder if i can move the cats futher down the pipe.... :P

 

330ci's are sweet!

 

Ok headers are $1200 (i can handle that).. and i would have to get aftermarket cats... im looking for cheaper cats cuz these are $1700

 

damn. pretty soon the stock 3-coupe will be puttin down more power then you

 

Take your 330 to 1/4 mile or have a run with Gtech Comp.

 

power increase wont happen till 2006.

 

thats what YOU think.


have i been wrong yet?

 

nice Crazy

Ohh, I finally got those focals in... they are fucking tizight.

 

crazy,
Nice Naw make fun heck no.....330's are awesome cars. That trq curve looks awesome! How much gain do the headers provide??

 

thanks man...headers make only 10 hp...

 

bastard. I want them back!!

 

I believe the paramount aspect is still missing. Although the 330i may not be all powerful it does still provide the pinnacle ride when it come to the compromise between sport and luxury while siding on the sporting side (I love my CL but my E46 handles better 'maybe better than the subject vehicle. ')

 

I've always wanted to say this...

BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME PuSSyCaT!!!

 

Strang. When I test drove the 2002 330CI, it felt faster. Must be the lower weight, & better torque.

 

A well driven 330Ci is very capable of mid 14s stock. I've seen it done actually.

It does feel faster than my auto CLS.
