I need 14 More..Where from..?? Pics..

[y3putt]

Hi Everyone..

I have had my Z4 3.0Si for about a month now and in that time have been doing a few tweaks etc..

So the car..



I took off the long aerial and fitted a stubby along with 20mm spacing at the rear to give it a better stance..



Next thing was to have a custom Exhaust fitted..this gives it a deeper meaty growl without the drone while cruising..



And then today to de badge the rear ..



Trouble was ..losing the M Badge lost me at least 50mph..

Lastly ..yesterday I took it to get re-mapped.. The results were very pleasing and well worth the effort..

When the car went on the rollers before the remap it actually did very well..it was producing 267.2 BHP ..I put this down to the fact that it has had the exhaust making it breath a tad better..

Anyway...after the remap the car is now producing 285.7 BHP.. the car drives so much better .the torque curve is now much lower down the rev range making it pull effortlessly when overtaking.

So the BIG question now is ....

Where do I get the 14 more BHP from to hit the magical 300 BHP..??? Any advice and ideas would be more than welcome..

Regards Mark..

By burning the //M badge u took off... lol


Maybe a side by side uphill road test is required through the gears, that would be meaningful.

Gruppe M airbox, high flow cat and then remap again. Maybe.

What back box did you fit and where did you get it

What back box did you fit and where did you get it

Its a complete cat back system..

I got the work done at AMD in Essex they design the system for you ..I chose the tailpipes and the staggered look to try to keep it looking OEM..

When they first did it ..it produced a tad more flow but was too loud for me..so after discussion with them they ordered another back box and re did it and now its just right..

Big thumbs up for them..

Hi and welcome-is your garage a tight fit?

 

[y3putt]

Hi Thanks...

No my garage isn't too bad..it looks tight because I park tight to the left so I can open the door ok..

 

[andysat]

Can I ask how wide is it?

Hello and welcome y3putt,Nice Zed.
lol Andy,have you got something new to worry about,at least it isn't mechanically Zed related.My light is good not unless it's blown! :lol:

I'm sure its 8' 6"w x 14' L ...I'll have a measure tomorrow...

I have just measured it and it is in fact 9ft 6 w x 18ft long...

Yes I did think that.. The badge was on when I bought it... so was only a matter of having time to take it off..

I do miss it though ...the extra power it gave was welcome especially at the lights..
