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. |

Very good, i think its similar here but the older it is the less stringent the emissions test is so im not too worried, |

I don't know about Ireland, but here cars from 93 on are cat compulsary for MOT as I do remember my mate Adys car is a 91 with cat fitted but was told by the MOT tester that it wasn't needed on his car Paul |

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? Edited by ivanovoitch |

Sorry, k&n are a manufacturer of uprated and free flowing air filters, make a few bhp increase, and catalytic convertors sap power, this car has either none or two, and if it does i will take the exhaust apart, beat out the filters and put it back together as a stright thru system, really notice increase in power then....

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). Edited by ivanovoitch |

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? Edited by Gonzo |

I'd be interested - 2004 e46 320d.
Having read the thread on the previous mapping day though I'd be slightly concerned. Would it be using generic maps or would there be some personalisation? |
