It's not a concern for AWD, it's just the AWD cars have more drivetrain loss, so it will naturally have less power for a given setup VS. a RWD car. We are going out for Day shots today (After the King's Game ) So i will have some of those too a little later. THE INTAKE: As I said earlier, the intake on it is not a production part its just a test tube that runs fine because this kit is still 90% finished and the intake is still being produced, but will be done end of next week. I just wanted to get it to Bimmerfest and take some videos and stuff for you guys in the mean time. That Flex tube will not remain on any of the final stuff, it is just for me to run around with and for us to work on while the real one is being done. The hard tube is the general intake mold pipe, so it will remain but a more refined version obviously. The Flex tube will be replaced with a solid tube as well next week. |

Gavin ... Thanks. Would love to see your dyno chart when all is ready. I have a N52 2.5 and have been keen to SC her, for me an extra 50-75HP will make me a happy bunny. Some local workshops here feel that that much increase may need engine mods. I wonder if they know what they are saying or they just want to make more moolahs outta me.

Rather than standing start can you please do stock vs. supercharged 40mph-100mph side by side? Standing start brings in too many uncontrollable variables to the comparison.

How much more work to use 6 larger injectors instead of the additional injector setup? |

Although, I'm getting very interested in this kit, but if I do it, I'll probably run 6 larger injectors and ask Eurocharged to do some custom tuning. Of course I'd have to talk to Gavin about a discounted kit as I wouldn't use the piggy back or extra injectors and lines, etc... |

From what Gavin has said, he's using a pretty advanced piggy back. I don't know enough about the situation or piggy backs in general to comment though. Last edited by C ///M; 05-21-2012 at 11:21 AM.. |

Tuning this has taken quite some time, and to be safe - I wont sell it without the proper tuning. Last thing I want to see is someones car with my hardware on it, that a different shop tuned and have it pop for some reason. No way. It's not worth the risk to let someone else mess with this and have damage done to a car from tuning MMW didn't supply. Im sure some of you are thinking "Powerbox" when you hear Piggy Back, but that could not be farther from reality. The unit we use stores tune files on it, and constantly adjusts signals as the car runs and demands for power raise and lower. It is able to manage 24 injectors, meth injection, No2 if you feel like getting crazy, timing, A/F, boost, error management, data storage - it's far beyond that of an ordinary piggy back. It's similar to running 2 ECU's (OEM + MMW), or a Dual Core Processor - They work in tandem to achieve the same goal. |

Couple of questions:
For N52 owners is this more reliable (or at least as reliable) as just taking the money and trading for a 135i/335i? How long can you run it on the street or track before heat issues? Are the headers required? What do you lose if you don't have them? Lastly how much weight does the full kit add and what does it do to the front/rear weight balance? Any change to the minimum AKI/octane gasoline that must be used? |

Hey Gavin,
Good work. What kind of numbers are we looking at for a 330i? Rwhp and tq

Oh, you've taken Gavin's 328 on the track? Cool! I assume you've also put several thousand miles of street testing because that's what it takes to make a conclusion like that.
Ok seriously now, any statements regarding reliability are complete speculation. No one knows. The only people who can make an accurate guess about reliability are the ones who worked on this project. They know what's modified and they hopefully have done the proper research which I have confidence that they have. Oh and BTW, Gavin, if you want someone to track test it I'll be at Laguna Seca on July 8th. lol

Three pages and no one asks about the weaker magnesium block being used with a S/C said to put more power to the ground than the block BMW deemed needed to be beefed up for 300bhp?
Those are some nice looking headers. What are the size of the primaries? |

Let's see if anyone coughs up the dough for this pipe dream and we shall see how reliable it really is. Sure I'm being speculative, but I'm sure the majority would agree with me. Prove me wrong, more power to ya |
