It looks like a drain pipe with some random injectors plumbed into it and bit of garden hose thrown in for good measure. Should easily see 200bhp more power when fitted to your m3.

To be honest, the car is a shitbox, but I've seen it run a lot, and never caught fire and deffo fair wack quicker than standard.
Fucking shoddy as fuck job mind, how they were controlled was even more basic.

I think the engine went in the end but it was a 500quid shitbox anyhow, and got more abuse than most cars on here prob get in a few years of driving.

Those injectors with the small hose stubs are a standard Bosch injector as used on the 3.9 Rover V8 efi. They come with the hoses like that from Bosch.

Does not mean that I condone the OPs pictures though.
