I'd love to mod this car as well but I will try to stay away from modifying the car this time My others cars were/are all dumped to the ground with coilovers. This is actully my very first car with an NA engine, not FI
I fully agree with teagueAMX, just a simple chip on an FI car (which modifies boost levels and timing in general) usually yields gains of 60~80hp with massive torque gains which you can immediately feel blind folded. Addition of Turboback exhausts or downpipes also create big gains but intakes...not so much :P Just got a call from my dealer, the car will be ready 2 days earlier than scheduled, this thursday I'm way too excited right now yoohoo~! |

This engine is NOT NA, it is FI, with variable camshafts [double-VANOS] and variable valve opening [VALVETRONIC]. i think the lack of Performance Chips for this system are due to the complicated computer programming required in that the valves control cylinder filling and not the throttle plate, which is only used to provide vacuum on startup and when the "Limp Home" mode is activated. This also explains why some engines start a bit rough.

Forced Induction is synonymous with super/turbocharging.
Perhaps you meant Fuel Injection? 23i & 30i = N/A (naturally aspirated) + fuel injection 35i & 35is = forced induction (turbocharged) + direct fuel injection

LOL, i guess you misunderstood me. I don't know why I put (no turbo).
I exactly meant FI (Turbo/SC) hence "Forced" induction I was just trying to say that the car I'm picking up (Z4 23i) this thursday is going to be my first NA engine car and not FI as in Forced Induction. |
