Bassboy3313 Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I still cant believe how close we got to finishing everything up. Gah! Oh, and how freaking amazing it was to drive that 335i. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Check out my bunghole Since the fuel rail inlet is nearest cylinder 1, cylinder 6 will have the greatest pressure drop and in theory will risk running the leanest. It is also just downstream of the stock H pipe where the factory O2 sensor reads from. The geometry change will help promote a little turbulence for more complete measurement and may get a whiff of the front bank of 3 cylinders in between pressure pulses. In a perfect world (when I build a fancy exhaust system) the wideband would be reading all 6 cylinders from an X or H pipe but I think the positioning is pretty optimal for the factory downpipe. I painted the exhaust and let it molest a corrugated drain pipe for a bit and packed it up to get welded. Still looking forward to having the project complete this Saturday.

B C Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I have been driving it around like that just for giggles. I will probably put the hood back on tonight so I can start driving it to work tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B C Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) I replaced the brake booster check valve with one from an E21, did a valve adjustment (yes its been nearly 15k since the last one O__O), re-gapped the spark plugs and my car is no longer a torqueless wonder.
