I am never good with surprises so I will just spill the beans...:shhh: I ordered my AA stage 2.5 kit two weeks ago. The wait is excruciating. Parts of the Kit has arrive and waiting for a few more stuff :excited:

I thought, I would create this thread to document the build.

Also when I get the kit I will have the following items up for sale:

1. aFe Stage 1 Intake Kit - E46 325i/Ci 330i/Ci - Pro5R

This aFe intake fits the following BMWs:

2003-2006 E46 3 series: 325i 325ci 325xi + Wagon & Convertible models with M56 engine
2001-2006 E46 3 series: 330i 330ci 330xi + Convertible
2004-2006 E83 X3: X3 3.0i

2. Stett m54b30 Intake Boot (Black)
3. F1 Autohaus 325i/330i Ceramic-Metallic-Coated Headers

tripp you gunna get a upgraded high flow inline fuel pump and upgraded oil pump from vac? they would probably help deliver the fuel better on top of injectors that josh has worked out that combo would be what you need for that hp

Since, I am about to boost and thinking about keeping the GM Step Transmission.

I am planning on installing IPT Manual Valve Body. Also, thinking about getting a Performance Torque Converter as well.

The New Converter stall speed will need to be at least 500 RPM higher than the beginning of the powerband of your camshaft.

Anyone knows the PowerBand of the ZHP Cams? Would the PowerBand be the same when I Boost?

Sorry spell check and I didn't notice I would slap some shrick or ess fi cams in there if you have headers those would be at least 30 whp extra maybe more with aggressive cams and solid tune.. Zhp cams I would imagine would be between 4800-6000

Come on man your just jealous that you work for BMW and still don't get the price I get for oil

already hooked up another member with the guy he's picking up 7 quarts of tws for 50 bucks

Not hardly. Our guys don't get "extra oil". 7 quarts is overkill enough when most of them only take 6.9 quarts when none dry. Which most aren't. Your friends dealership must be n00bs. Lol jk

Nice!

So Stage 2.5 uses ZHP cams? Can't you upgrade to some FI cams, run even more boost and get more power?

No Sir. The .5 on the AA kit is Meth. My car is a ZHP. The intake cam is good for F/I but my exhaust cam could be bigger for best results.

Look forward to results, I think 400+ whp is possible with what you have planned without too much trouble - the limiting factors that you will run into are injectors and increased belt slip / wear with smaller pulleys.

I covered around 7k on my level 2 setup and made 365whp, (standard level 2 pulley and Fi cams) I never had any issues and it was a beast.

Sorry for the slow updates. Mid-terms been kicking my a$$ lately. Been studying alot.

Picked up the m3 rear end Tuesday at the Hub Station.

Here is some T-Bar Clamps. I bought to replace those wimpy worm gear clamps.

Also, waiting on Viral to get me some quotes on some parts I wanted. So I can get this Project Started. Looks like I might not make it to MFest.

but we will see...

Nice clamps, where did you get them?

These would be much easier than fussing lining up a flat head screwdriver with the slot. I could just blast them off with my air wratchet.
