I have a K&N already. Just the panel filter. I have heard an induction kit wont work too well because of the heat in the E39 engine bay...

As for mpg who cares. If I wanted MPG I would be back in a PUG Turbo Diesel. (

I would like some more torque and better throtle response. If a map can rpovide that then Im in. Ben did you say 30bhp+. I cant imagne that sort of gain on a non turbo.... Maybe is misread you.

Mick

Cats were introduced in the late eighties here. Don't know at what point they became compulsory. Reckon it was early ninties.

Not on a 92 i imagine it would be still in good enough condition to pass an nct on emissions without them,

That makes sense.

With regards to the cat (or cats): Is it legal to operate a car originally fitted with a cat with the cat removed?

Would that be picked up on an NCT and the car failed?

Id say 10 to a max of 15hp extra and a 1-2mpg, Ill be getting my 525i done as i have heard positive reports, up to 207bhp, and these are essentially the same engine so id say it will increase alright, a k and n panel filter is next on the list, then find out if its got cats, if it does they are in for a rude awakening!!

What improvement could I expect from re-mapping the 520 e34? It's returning about 29mpg on the motorway and about 19mpg around town.

Can't say it's a slug, seems to be loads of the original 150bhp still on tap.

(Engine rebuild in 2004/2005).

22mpg, heavy right foot??!!

I get about 26 out of mine and its non vanos albeit the same basic engine.

Yes im sure martin will be able to tune it to your specific needs, even a generic map on your car will see + 30 bhp i would imagine. I will find out more,

Are there different maps depending on what end result you want to achieve? Judging by the Autoremap site they do this? Or is it a case that when you get a remap you make whatever gains there are to be made in all areas? I would imagine there are differences in what would be mapped for a racing car than a daily commuter?

Ill have to ask martin about that, He is now using different software and has asked what cars are to be done so i presume he will know which will give decent gains and which wont.

TDP have yet to get back to me but when they do ill put together a price for the rolling road/remap combined,
