Simota Intake

srv2790 · 05-14-2008, 09:53 PM

for all the applications for the simota intake it says for a 320i or a 330i. will ir work on a 328i? i would have to assume so...

pittyinSC · 05-14-2008, 10:37 PM

Yes what will fit 330i will fit 328i

Simota will though.
Simota doesn't have the best fitment but, it's pretty good.

i bought a simota for my 330i. it didnt fit. the fan was too big and i tried forcing it but started to make a cracking noise
so i stopped.

Ey thats no problem. The fans not the problem, it's just the fitment issue with the OEM vent scoop. Also the intake sits on top of the water valve.

what is the increase in horse power?

I've heard it was about 12 hp?

Is it true?

srv2790 · 05-15-2008, 10:29 AM

simota is significantly cheaper and it seems like a good buy but i hope i dont run into fittement problems cuz it is a bimmer and i dont want it to look ghetto

All manufacturer claims are fake. Simota increases 1hp on the dyno, and same with the real gruppe m.

1. can you prove it? I mean they wont claim something who's false?

When you dyno a car it dont get the right air flow so it wont get the right results.

2. somebody know anything about the hp increase in eisenexhausts systems?

srv2790 · 05-15-2008, 02:36 PM

ok on a dyno u get no actual flow for the intake to make a difference but 12hp usually means crank horsepower so by the time it gets to the pavement it more like 7 or 8. it wont make a huge difference but a little bit. not ne thing noticable tho. anyone who says their car feels faster cuz their intake is douchbag

+12 hps when you include headers, and exhaust

exo-ak-dk · 05-15-2008, 02:55 PM

sorry but what is headers?

UdubBadger · 05-15-2008, 11:21 PM

if it says for a 330i then it'll work for a 328... thats what mine was and it fits PERFECTLY (and sounds amazing too!)

None of you can really prove that it produces less than 12 hp

I've just mailed simota and they say that all there products are tested and its documented that it produces +12 hp

UdubBadger · 05-16-2008, 10:43 AM

12 to the crank sounds close but I'd be amazed if it puts 12hp to the pavement

SV Concepts III · 05-17-2008, 09:29 PM

It does work on the 328 and expect between 8 and 12 HP.

I agree with nick!

If your engine is in good condition you will get about 10-12

If it is in bad condition you will get about 7-8

But it depends on how big your engine is.

I talked with simota and he said mine 2.0 will get about 10 hp out of it, if my engine is in good condition, if its bad he said i will get about 7 hp
