Just to slow

[Beema10]

I have a 97 Cobra with pulleys, gears,ignition, nitrous etc. and all other mods and I recently just bought a 2000 323ci and it just has no power. Somebody please help me. I'm just getting into the BMW scene you could say and don't know much about what is out there for it but can someone shoot of some ideas. It has an ac schinitzer exhaust and thats all so far. I just can't do it captain I don't have the power. :cry:

Well you driving night and day cars there. The cobra has tons of torque and the bimmer does not. The cobra has 350 horse and the bimmer has 160. Even if you SC the bimmer it will be a low 14 second high 13 second car. I had a LS1 Z28 and I don't even try to compare the 2. They are not in the same class.

[Beema10]

Yea I know. I just go from an 11second car to this and I just need some power. I know it's not going to be nearly as powerful as the cobra but I need something. Any ideas?? By the way are u going to Bavauto show and shine??

Since you've already got an exhaust, now add a CAI (ECIS, Eurosport, Benfer, GruppeM); pullies (Rogue, UUC) and a Conforti's Shark Injector :thumbup:

How much do you have to spend?

:werd:

if you got the $ then the only real performance mod other for our cars is the supercharger. Firstly you have a 323 Na mods wont do much, unless you go differentials. I'd say supercharge it if you got the $ to spare.

[bmw325S]

If u got the $$, go low-compression pistons...and HIGH BOOST S/C with headers, u can also throw in there another differentiasl to help your acceleration, and I think those are the 4 MAJOR mods u can do to it..since u already have the exhaust (which I have to say that though it is very expensive it dosnt do shiet)

Well having exhaust on a NA e46 will provide little gains, but once you SC it those gains will be much more.

[Beema10]

Whats a good supercharger to go with? I also have an injen intake.

ASA

[russ330]

^:werd: or AA.

Everyone raves out their ASA, and it's only going to get better with the addtion of the software to remap the ECU.

42 weeks and I'll be part of the ASA camp. :thumbup:

As an ESS owner, I recommend ASA........

[Beema10]

How much does an asa go for??

[vaio76109]

I think around $5500, check with RENNsport tho.

[Nico3k]

7000 installed i think... tis ~6300 something in that range

[vaio76109]

I checked their website, it's $5,995.00. Depending on install place, install can range from $400-$1500.

I good way to get your hands on one is to get one used from the classified section here... the INJEN intake will have to leave once you put the S/C in unless you sirously modify it...
