In other wards you can not tint your side windows with an aftermarket tint. You are correct in that half of the cars out there have aftermarket tint. You are at the mercy of the POLICE - his discretion. Take you chances, if you are caught, you need to remove it. Nothing says you can't put it back on "^)

Smog is mostly a function of A/F ratio, which is going to be stoich during the emissions range (part throttle, idle). There will be a tradeoff - maybe a lumpier idle, lower milage, worse torque down low. I wonder what the new duration and lift is. Maybe it's good for a forced induction engine :-). -Matt > > > "Protect me from what I want" Okay, my only > question is > will it > pass smog? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I have seen a quite a few GTI's get on the smog machine and fail because of overly aggressive cams. The do effect emissions because a higher duration/longer lift cam will allow more air in the cylinder with more gas which emits more pollutants on a PPM basis. I run a european spec exhaust cam on mine and I bet it'll only barely pass... I am sure this would carry over to BMW's too. I might be wrong though...

#8. Oil Cooler Stuff - from Greg Koenig
Top
Date: Fri, 09 Mar 2001 18:18:47 -0700 From: Greg Koenig <gregk@innrspc.com> Subject: Oil Cooler Stuff Hi, Sorry I don't have time to read every digest any more, but I noticed a few posts about oil coolers. Whoever is thinking about getting one, ask yourself if you really REALLY need it, the oil cooler from BMW is expensive, very complicated to install on a US car and the effects of it are really not worth the price and hassle of the first two points. Installing the cooler has 2 major issues: 1) The oil filter housing on US cars is tapped for the oil pressure idiot light (i.e. On/Off at 6psi) and the VaNoS also picks up it's gear/driving oil pressure off of a banjo bolt connected to the housing. On Euro cars, the housing is tapped for the oil pressure idiot light and the oil temperature sensor, VaNoS pressure comes from the block. Now, you can have a machine shop drill and re-tap these holes, but realize that they MUST get it right, otherwise bad things happen (if the VaNoS line blows kiss the engine goodbye in about 30 seconds). Never mind, if said machine shop screws the pooch, you get to buy a new oil filter housing. 2) The Euro oil cooler itself (the radiator looking thing) fits under the radiator on two tabs. Amazingly enough, the US radiator has the necessary tabs to hang the oil cooler, but the US radiator is too narrow to hold the cooler (the Euro radiator is wider, as the catch tank is relocated up to the battery negative terminal area, a la E30 M3, the extra space is dedicated to cooling area). I did a group purchase of all the necessary parts a long time ago, list on everything was really expensive, but we got South BMW to give 16 people a deal for $650. I think I know of one person who installed it, mine went on someone else's race car with a Euro motor, and I know a few more wound up on dedicated track cars. All in all, it is a workable upgrade, but not the sort of expected "Plug-n-Play" you usually get from BMW factory part mods. If you do track your car very frequently, in very hot weather, and you have an oil temp gauge... Then you might consider running an oil cooler. Even then, there are much less expensive solutions on the market from many providers (call up Turner or TC Kline). Greg

Both offer an intake for the larger euro HFM, right? And both seem to have about the same Hp and torque specs, so I'm guessing that one of us living here in the golden state could just use a Dinan intake with everything else. That way the smog guy's is just gonna look at the CARB sticker and say "hmmm, okay" and it would pass the visual inspection and as Matt Henson said, the chip should set for stoichometric out the tailpipe. I would prefer the JimC setup, but if that is what it would take to pass smog, ..... I can always swap one in and the other one out every other year.
