Ok so i recently just purchased the top swap parts from another member on here and it included everything BUT the belt, gaskets and pcm pretty much. Im realising that all of that will cost me about another 5-600 and i really dont have that right now... so while im saving up i was wondering if there were any L67 parts i can swap onto my L36 to get some gains while i save? like tb or anything?!?

Already got a tune and intake and exhaust so im sure there isnt much but i figured id check and see...?

 

larger downpipe possibly?

 

I wouldn't bother honestly.

 

Headers.

 

You only need like $250 to get gaskets and belts and a tune. L67 TB's have different MAF sensors than L36's I believe, so your car might run like poo. Just save your money and get the gaskets, PCM tune (and maybe some headers) and put everything together all at once.

 

so much you could do, cold air intake, or headers, better cat to allow better air flo

 

Yeah I already got an intake and full exhaust which has a 2.5" downpipe with no cat and no resenator and magnaflow exhaust. And where can you get all the gaskets and a tune for only 250? I can't find it that cheap anywhere...

 

Well, I was off by $50.

ZZ Performance

 

ZZP might be a smidge on the high side, but at least it's everything you need: ZZ Performance

 

As I understand the L36 and L67 MAFs are the same exact part. What makes them "different" if at all, is the MAF table for them in the PCM. That's how I understand it.

As for gaskets and belts, check www.RockAuto.com and compare them to ZZP. As for the PCM, ZZP I think has a PCM to cater to the top swap idea.
