Talking Stage 2 pics?

The system looks great, nice job. I like the visibility of the pulley and belt..very Road Warrior-like.

When can we expect Stage 2 pics and dyno?

What do you calculate the new flywheel HP to be? 313?

Anyone know the RWHP for a new M3?

Mo,

Absolutely beautiful. Your fabrication skills are truly professional. I think I may have found the FI system for my car.

Specs on the system along w/costs would be greatly appreciated.

couple questions...
what is the pipe going back to the firewall?..and is it connected to the pipe going into the throttle body?

i see the airfilter pipe going down...isnt that right next to the header?..is heat soak an issue?.......like on the dyno..if you do several runs back to back does the hp drop off?

how many psi is this kit?

also i love the self promotion on the hose clamps..thats cool....

please dont take these as bashing..just some questions i had about the kit..Jeff
The pipe that goes to the back of motor area is made for the closed loop BOV setup..instead of the BOV blowing into the atmosphere it goes back into the SC... the pipe ..........

the heat issue for the intake is something I am going to talk to mo about ..
and no the HP did not drop off.. run to run..
PSI 4

stage 2 will be complete and dynoed in the next week or so... dyno time was rough this week cause of the BATTLE OF THE IMPORTS race at atco.. Sean Glazar need the dyno time he was gonna give us tom. for his car..so we took stage 2 off my car and put stage 1 back on to run sunday... we dont wanna run a stage 2 kit without it being dyno tuned and tested...

power gains... we are expecting 130-150 at the motor so hoepfully we will hit 270rwhp -365 at the motor or so...on my car...
so prolly like 125 rwhp to gain I hope..
as far as the new m3 333bhp proly like 300 at teh wheels...

4 pounds of boost and 84 horsepower...not bad.

Now get it so Lexus won't argue over warranty issues.

Some answers, the pipe is going to the surge valve (can't see it in the pics).

The air filter pipe goes straight down and around, to the front, heat soak is not a problem, we did five runs back to back in a period of 3 minutes and only saw a drop of 4RWHP.

The kit is at 4 PSI only, very mild boost.

You can thank Marken my marketting person for the silicone hose idea.

None taken.

Currently the price is at $4,250.

We might increase the price to $4,995 and add the following in the stage 1 kit:
- Transmission Computer upgrade (seems like it needs it for better shifts)
- Bigger injectors
- Increase PSI to 5PSI
- Expect about an addittional 15-20RWHP

Mo, will the supercharger pass the smog check in California. coz I am getting your supercharger kit but forget to ask you about the smog check question when I talk to you on the phone. And what kind of problem will I run in to when I take my car to the dealer for service. Thanks
