WTB: Intake from a 330i

[OsoiNA6]

@Tricia

I researched and found out that my car has the exact same engine as the 330i, the only difference is the intake, my car uses a stage 1 intake while and the 330i uses a stage 3 intake. How easy is it to just swap them? Would I have to have any tuning done to the ecu as well? Thanks!

Also from what I read, swapping that alone would raise my hp from 215 to 255. I dont know if thats 100% true though.

I don’t think anyone else here has a similar car, but please search and read the rest of the interwebzzz. You already are on E90 forum it seems, I did a quick search on Google and pulled up the below in a few seconds…

This post in particular seems to offer a good explanation of why there is a power difference in “just” the intake itself (3 stages in the 330i and 1 in the 325i) and ECU are worth that much HP.

Oh and another good read on what you are trying to do, featuring TMS equipment:

Sit down though before look at the pricing. haha.

I would back check anything here with more searching- but hopefully this gets you started. You can see in one post that the intake + ECU was being offered for around $600, but who knows what they go for now.
