Afternoon all,
I have read few previous threads whereby there is a fair bit of interest (especially for Series 1 owners) to increase the power of the BMW V8 and raise the power up to that of later Aero's.
From my research and experience it seems highly unlikely than an exhaust/chip/filter is going to get people up to 320/330bhp like some companies will claim, however if there is any rolling road evidence (before and after - as just "after" doesn't mean much due to calibration variables of rolling roads) I am happy to stand corrected.
I believe there is a lot more power hidden away in such a large well engineered V8 and mods such as inlet manifold (I hear this is very restrictive), exhaust manifold (even more restrictive on the Aeros), high flow cats and cams together with a good map and exhaust could produce pleasing results.
If I recall Si was going to look at developing some off the shelf parts for the Aero, but thought I would ask what people have had done and what results they found?
I know Morgan themselves will have dabbled in this and tweaked the press cars (common practice amongst all manufacturers) so there is definately power out there to be found!
Me personally I would be quite happy with a genuine 330bhp..
