HPF RHD "Right Hand Drive" TWIN TURBO KIT - SHIPPED!!

Dmacc · 12-25-2011, 08:04 PM

If anyone needs someone killed let me know, my payment will be one of these kits, I'm not cheap.

cool now what about the N54

B_davis · 12-26-2011, 12:32 PM

I am starting to think the HP in HPF stands for High priced ...

tscdennab · 12-26-2011, 03:35 PM

First, I don't think HPF will release an N54 turbo kit to market less than about 2 years from now. Look how long it takes for them to switch their kits from left hand drive to right hand drive cars. And second, the e46 is their business and they will concentrate all their efforts on that.

And third, and most important: why would someone need HPF stuff when you can have 500whp right now with $5000 worth of mods including upgraded turbos ? Why would you look forward to spend $18k on it from HPF ? They took a 340hp engine and got 438whp on pump gas to 495whp on race gas out of it for $18k. The current N54 development can make 500whp out of a 300hp engine for $5k, on pump gas with methanol.

The E46 M3 never was designed to run a turbo (hence all the additional parts). But it was a 2 year project and it is now completed and we've shipped some "RHD" kits. Our first 335i kit is a "tuner" kit and is completely installed in a 335i here in our shop. Today it's getting shot for a magazine. I will have pricing in a week or two, but it will be under $10K. We will be releasing this kit for sale as soon as I have pricing set. The turbo in this car can make over 800rwhp! Now we just need to add the fuel system and our intake manifold to support it!!

Thanks. It is so much work to put a kit that size together that deals with everything on the car. It has been a two year project run simultaneously will all of our other projects.

Dude get real, you can pick up a 2007 335 with 50k on the clock for 23-25k.

C4sF80M3 · 12-28-2011, 09:39 AM

Overall the kit looks nice, but I can't say that I like that downpipe design. Forcing the wastegate exhaust gasses into a wall like that isn't any where near ideal. If anything you want to keep the two exhaust streams separate as far as practically possible.

mkPOTO · 12-28-2011, 10:32 AM

tease lol

Let us see pictures of it or it does not happen and wait for another 2 years goes on.

Oh and which turbo did you pick and why?

joec500 · 12-29-2011, 09:24 AM

All the custom fabrication involved in this kit completely justify the cost. I mean the manual alone was probably a 1-2 month project for one employee. You can tell there was a ton of R&D and thought in building this kit from the quality of craftsmanship to all the little details like the custom harnesses. Also the man hours to just test and develop each custom component, working out deals with suppliers, sourcing all the little bits and pieces and paying the guy to physically pick and check every kit that goes out the door, I can only imagine the labor cost. I have a feeling they are not making as much profit as people suspect on this kit.

With that said, I am hoping the 335i kit will actually be cheaper, due to the fact they are already dealing with a platform that started as a turbo car rather than engineering a N/A motor to take a turbo system.
