Every vehicle is in need of some sort of help and here at SZ we are willing to help those who need it. \u00a0SZ’s very own LJ needed this and more. \u00a0His vehicle comes in the form of an 88′ BMW 535, 3.5 liter inline-6. \u00a0Many months ago we dynoed it to get a base line and were horrified with the outcome. \u00a0The engine struggled to make power and ran extremely lean. \u00a0Lean enough to melt pistons. \u00a0LJ and I put our heads together and modified his Bosch Motronic ECU to give us the ability to tune it. \u00a0Before we did this, the air flow meter (flapper door style) was tweaked to help get mixtures a tiny bit closer.<\/p>\n

While on the dyno we fabbed up a way to install a Z32 POP Charger to remove the factory air box. \u00a0We will later on down the road install a heat shield for the filter.<\/p>\n

The baseline in blue. \u00a0Just terrible. \u00a0Look at how choppy the graph is. \u00a0It struggled many many years this way. \u00a0Once we got our hands on it we had this inline engine purring and making alot more power! \u00a0See the difference on the tuned run (red). \u00a0Needless to say this is an entirely different car to drive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
