Chargepipes for BMS Intake
Hi all,
Haven't heard of our chargepipe being a problem, but with more options coming out + the mod bug, I figured it might be something worth looking into. I know the FTP one can be fitted for the BMS intake with a few couplers (thanks to the person that figured that out). Are VRSF and the CTS one also compatible (possibly with minor modifications like the FTP one)? Are there other options that I'm forgetting/that would work better? Thanks.

My confusion comes from reading this: https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...9&postcount=21
"Unfortunately, the BMS Intake WILL NOT FIT. You have to use OEM. I really want to use an intake too, my previous 320i N20 used to spool up like a turbo diesel truck and I absolutely loved that sound from in the cabin. This setup (OEM & FTP) you solely hear just engine, little to no intake. I have written to BMS and Agency Power to see if they'll release a shorter intake or "optimized elbow" for those of us running the FTP pipes. I don't see why they wouldn't want to do something, but we will see. FTP Charge Pipe is about 76mm vs 56mm wide at the top on the OEM. Other dimensions are identical (56mm)." Seems some minor modification was necessary but easy to do and successful: https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...6&postcount=35

The chargepipe is separate and is not dependent on the intake. For reference, B58 is on the right. Intake pipe is light blue arrows, charge pipe is purple arrows. |
