Hows the 23T going, havent read any posts from you in awhile?

Cool sounds good should net a few more hp's for sure!

Yeh its still going....#4's got oil so enigne has to come appart
but its low priority now as im concentrating on changes to my house and building a garage etc.....kinda over blowing so much money probly give it a rest till next year...
on a good note you may(or may not)see some coverage on it in a local rag later this year...=).

laters,
Paul

Markland, your coolent looks like a bottle of ketchup.

when i bought the car there was tons of rust in there. you cant really clean it out because there are cavities in that tank so the pressure washer could get them. but i do need to do a coolant flush.

Hey mark,

I really like your setup too. I also recommend getting one more similar silicone coupler for after the mass air sensor as well to replace that ribbed one that causes turbulence. It would help smoothen out airflow. Also I think if you sanded down the piping and painted black it would look VERY OEM and most probably wouldn't even know any better.

just a though

im thinking of running the intake down the other side of the car soon. I dont like it having to go over the engine. But thats a good idea.

I have thought about doing that too, but theres not really any room....

Would give awesome throttle response though having it shorter and it would stay cooler too, no headers or cam cover to absorb heat from

when there is no room you gotta make room... LOL
I think it can be done. There is some AC stuff in the way but i dont think it should be too bad.

Did you find your intake made a decent difference? What about the noise

[Markland556]

honestly, i dont know if i gained much in performance. Once i put my AMG wheels back on the car was much better. But i think it did help with throttle response. But it defiantly sounds more mean. Like its been said before, sounds like its going to eat a small child. Around 2k it has a annoying whistling noise but when the windows are up you cant hear it. But at around 4k it sounds awesome and again at 6k its pretty nice. Maby ill get a recording from my camera sometime today.

here is that update on that aem bypass .... It operates like a pressure relief valve, and is only open if the cold air filter is not the point of least resistance (such as when it is blocked off by water). In all other instances, it's actually closed, so no hot air comes in.

I did a similar setup in my C36, although after hitting a deep puddle at Pacific Raceways, I thought for sure my engine was done. I got lucky and would never do something like this again without the AEM bypass valve

[Logic]

i noticed your intake cone filter is layed on its side as like mine is facing down....any reason why you did it that way?

Hey paul when your gonna sell you car........I WANNA BE 1st ON LINE TO BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'll even have that bitch shipped.
its really hard to see deep puddles REALLY HARD!!! i know......it rains rediculous here in florida. just yesturday on the drive home i was in 4 inches of water. it took 2hrs on a 1/2hr drive just to avoid deep puddles, and prevent hydrolocking, and hydroplaning

[Logic]

weren't you telling me about not having a AEM bypass valve and you would be careful? how can you with that kind of water in the street????
