ok guys
im trying to think of what u put in ur e46 to pump the hell out off it. u know, adding power to it...

1) Exhaust
2) Intake
3) sc/Tubro
4) Throttle body
5) Headers
6) Performance chip
7) racing cats

please add on to the list...
and dont put something down like "a new engine"

power pullies are the best bang for the buck from what I hear :thumbup:

go to renn-sport.net....check out technik stage 4 NA kit....

Stage 4 Power Kit:
Intake/ECU/Headers/Camshafts/Throttle-body/Cylinder-Head
$5,295.00
Yields about 315 hp and close to that in torque!!:yikes:

Underdrive pullies? I heard that the are close to worthless...

Actually the underdrive pulleys aren't worthless...they actually make sense if you think about it. I've used them before...its kind of like adding an intake or an exhaust...not an "OH MY GOD!" mod...but you def can feel the difference...the aftermarket pulleys take quite a bit of load off the car...being lighter and stuff....plus they look cool! (well they would if you could see them....You can't see crap under the hood of a BMW)

dude wtf for 5,300 you get 90 hp? are you sure? Im thinking bout it ..what you guys think?

 

[ilovebmw]

thats like 40 bucks per hp!

 

[ilovebmw]

i went to renn-tech.net and it only says what it consists of. Does anyone have link of a dyno or it saying it gives 315 hp

 

[K-DOG]

Samir said himself that it gives around 315hp...there is a dyno of stage 2...which gives around 260/260 crank.....

[ilovebmw]

anyone know what times a very good manual driver will get 0-60 with the stage 4 setup? IM VERY INTERESTED IN THIS. One more thing is stage 4 better then getting a supercharger?

 

[K-DOG]

A supercharger by itself will give you more power then the stage 4...but less reliability...however, Samir said you can combine stage 4 and a supercharger and get around 450hp at the crank.

 

[ilovebmw]

wow man that's insane for about 14k you get 450 hp!!

 

[ilovebmw]

anyone got hookups on this stuff.....if so tell me im very serious about this

 

[TheDream21479]

Or you could sell your car...add that to the 14k and buy a pre-owned E46 M3 (shrug)

I've read quite different. If iirc a motorsport team did a dyno with NO pulleys (that's right no accessories driven) and only got 3 hp at the CRANK. That's little more than 1 HP at the wheel with NO accessories driven (as compared to underdrive where you may drive the accessories at what? 70%?). Not worth it IMO.

Although maybe they save you a few pounds off our porky cars.

there should be power kits for 325's... even though fi would be more power efficient
