Performance Coils
 

Hi Guys,
Just installed these Bavarian Autosport High Performance Coils. I will let you know what the butt dyno says as far as any increase in performance.

Cheers,

Will be waiting to see if there is actually a difference. And if the dyno run isn't till a couple days after the coils are on that would give plenty of time for the adaptations to set themselves to the coils, giving more accurate readings. Fingers crossed for real world numbers!

Don't want to disappoint you but he did say:

My butt dyno isn't very accurate but YMMV! :D :rofl:

Sorry,I guess I wasn't paying that close attention to another man's butt. :nanana:

any difference?
 

have you noticed any better drive ability? or any noticable throttle response?

I put these in my '02 3.0i at 65k miles and definitely felt a difference. It was a little "snappier" driving around town and it really got up and moved when getting on the freeway. Mileage went up by a little over 1 mpg as well. May have been more, but I guess I was having a little too much fun breaking them in... Look forward to hearing how you fare.

So far I would say there is defiantly an improvement in torque and acceleration. She just charges harder now. The increased performance from installing the headers was awesome but with these it just got even better.

Now the question is what performance chip do I get for my car now. There is Dinans, Turner has theirs and BavAuto has theirs. I figure with the Afe intake and high flow exhaust and headers with would be time for the chip. Any suggestions?

Weasel how much work is involved in putting on those bigger fuel injectors?? Time? And I will go and put Her on a real dyno and find out how much HP I have. I am curious with deleting the cats and headers there should be a nice gain. But who knows. I do like driving my X a lot more now!!!

The injectors shouldn't be that bad at all, much easier than the headers in the scheme of things.

Do you have a baseline from the dyno before making any of these mods? Before and after readings on the same dyno will be the only way to determine the delta.

I'm glad it is running well, but if you are going to the trouble of a dyno it would be good to see the actual gain, otherwise it is just a number.

If you are gonna do it, I would go with the Conforti Shark Injector (Turner Motorsports). Conforti has a good reputation for their tuning products. I think the Shark is also upgradable via USB for your specific mods as you add/remove other items.
