Thanks for the vouch guys :) forgot to post over here,
That wash mit is the one i use for inside of the rims, not the paint! Promise :) I have a gold superfine fiber sponge I use for washing the...
Good reads, thanks for the link. It is write ups like these that make me really go back and forth between the two. I believe the ESS tuning kit is 5350 right now, putting it just about 2000 MORE than...
That is what I am leaning to. And for 3375 for the kit, its EXTREMELY hard to pass up. and like you said, some Cams, and maybe and intake may make up some of that difference Im missing.
Ahh, I was confused about this. I wasnt sure if the steepness could be relative to some kind of function for time under load.
Like you said, the max (or close to max) torque is achieved at start...
What can be taken when comparing these two dynos? first is the VF engineering supercharger kit, second is the ESS tuning twin screw kit. Analyzing them on my own, they seem very similar, even though...
Thats good stuff, thanks for the info!
As far as the kit goes, I don't believe intercooling should be an issue. It is only boosted for 6PSI, and I know when the stage 2 kit becomes available, they...
Hmm that would be very interesting to see! I am pretty sure Im supercharging, and like your said with a zhp cams arent really needed. I guess its just surprising that a 325 supercharged vs a max-bolt...
Ahh got it.. That is true. Headers, pulleys, cams, and exhaust could infact push it CLOSE to that 280. Of course we cannot know for sure..Id say you would get 265 from all of those mods. maybe 270. I...
Yeah, its definitely awkward. The reason I want to get it done this weekend is the gate guard actually asked me today, "You can own a BMW but you cant roll down your window? Whats up with that!"
I...
Haha was that a joke? im sleepy and cant catch on that quick right now..but a 325ci with the vf kit still yielded 100hp + 68 ft/lb! (claimed flywheel numbers). Stomping on ZHP territory!
I think it's going to happen! It will be in JulyISH of this year, so everyone will have to wait in anticipation for videos, pics, and maybe a DIY for the kit due to my 6 month deployment that is...
Thanks! I think I have read that one but il give it another read. I like reassurance :)
I need to do this... When you finish tell me how long it took! My drivers side window is out, and passing through the military base gate every morning having to open my door is embarrassing.
I am seriously contemplating this kit. Spoke to Mike at VAC motorsport and he was extremely helpful with some questions I had. Now, does anyone else here run the kit?
Just trying to get some user...
Put the left front on, the spring was a little wider than the mount so I went to ace and grabbed a rubber o ring with a nylon washer that was wide enough to go around the mounting points to get rid...
Everything worked out great. I am running eibach 7 inch springs 550lb in the rear, and with the Rokkor coilover sleeve and ground control top hats, the tire sits perfectly in the wheel well now. I...
I got an awesome deal on some eibach linear springs today, 100 for all four. 550lb and 500lb spring rates. Installing rears tonight! I am running them on the Rokkor coil over hardware.
...
So, I posted in a couple of forums complaining of a clunking after installing my rokkor coilovers. I couldn't stand the sound anymore and remove them and replaced the rears with the oem sport spring....
In the process of getting some. Will have it posted by tnight!

Little update, changed to dual 2.25 from bolt on position to a single 2.5 all the way back to the muffler, interested in what it will be like considering I haven't heard of many single larger...
Alright, I'l be as prompt as possible with results. I hope I can avoid the rasp but if not.. I will try a magnaflow resonator to calm it down and maintain good sounds.
Decided to go ahead and bite the bullet on an exhaust. Going to try straight pipes (no resonators) to a magnaflow 14815 and see how it goes. I'll post some info and vids when complete. The...
A full inspection II package from Turner motorsport. Not a bad deal IMO. 7 quarts of oil, oil filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, brake fluid, gear oil, transmission fluid, air filter, and cabin air...
