I'm trying to order the tube that connects from the intake tube to down at the injector "squid". There are two parts one depending on whether you have the asc+t or not. I know that sometimes the asc is deleted, and I think deleting the secondary throttle is part of that. Could you guys tell me if my asc was deleted so I can figure out which tube to order? | | | 06-10-2012, 12:35 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 | you don't have ASC, is your car a 96? it might have not even come with it | | | 06-10-2012, 12:38 AM | #3 | Member Join Date: Apr 2012 Location: SoCal Posts: 49 | No it's a 97. Manufactured 9/96. I have the asc button on the dash. | | | 06-10-2012, 12:38 AM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | According to realoem, ASC-T started 01/1997. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 06-10-2012, 12:45 AM | #5 | Member Join Date: Apr 2012 Location: SoCal Posts: 49 | Interesting. Any clue why the button is there to turn it on and off? I'm talking about the rectangular button on the left side of the dash that turns turns the yellow light on in the dash with the arrow circling it. | | | 06-10-2012, 12:58 AM | #6 | Member Join Date: Apr 2012 Location: SoCal Posts: 49 | Well, the intake boot is for the non asc I take it, so I'll order the non asc tube. Sound like a good plan? | | | 06-10-2012, 01:18 AM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | Quote: Originally Posted by JdevTi Interesting.

I didn't know there were two different kinds of asc... I wonder what the one in my car does if that is the case, or if mine has just been partially deleted. The intake boot is OLD. It's cracking and I'm about to replace it as well, so I'd guess that it's original if someone were to ask me... | | | 06-10-2012, 01:50 AM | #10 | Member Join Date: Apr 2012 Location: SoCal Posts: 49 | I did a quick search and found an article that talks about the different traction contol versions in BMW's. It doesn't mention the 318 but might have some clarification... http://forum.roadfly.com/threads/337...tion-and-the-M | | | 06-10-2012, 01:53 AM | #11 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | Quote: Originally Posted by JdevTi | Also a good read. http://www.318ti.org/notebook/asc/index.html __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 06-10-2012, 02:04 AM | #12 | Member Join Date: Apr 2012 Location: SoCal Posts: 49 | Quote: Originally Posted by 1996 328ti | I wish it explained what my system did assuming I don't have the "+t", which I think you are right, designates an additional system to an acs car. | | | 06-10-2012, 02:17 AM | #13 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2011 Location: Broomfield,Colorado Posts: 664 | I have a 96 with the same intake boot and a switch on the dash and a 4.44 in the rear. Also i push it and no lights come on in the dash. I have always wondered what the heck it does. My 98TI that i got rid of also had the ASC and a different intake boot and a light would come on in the dash. So confusing | | | 06-10-2012, 08:44 AM | #14 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Portland Or Posts: 2,666 | ASC= Use of the antilock brake system to control car stability/skids ASC+T adds traction control.

I was just in the car tonight and the button on the dash says ASC. So for sure like Dave says there are two versions of the system. I'm glad I don't have that extra throttle piece. That looks like a problem waiting to happen. Anyway thanks all. By the way Dave, this is Jason down in so cal - all250r. Did I send your intake boot back? The guy i worked with is selling them on eBay now but they dont fit over larger carbs because of the material he is using, so I dont know ife he's sellin many. Let me know bc honstly I dont remember that project took so damn long...
