Hello to all. I've been on this site for about a week now, and it is great :thumbup: . I should be picking up my 03 3.30ci next week. At the moment it is having some tasty mod's done to it, by autovogue (interior,exterior) and ca.automotive (engine mods). soon as i get it i will post some pictures and specs with the rolling road figures aswell. :woot: :str8pimpi :woot:

I know very little of Alcohol injection, I think all it is is injecting more Octane in the fuel supply, so its like putting race grade fuel in your car. Difference between normal fuel, and super/optimax/ultimate etc, but more.

I'll try and set up a meet for this weekend sometime, keep checking the Evotechnik meet's pages.

ASA pushes out more power, however AA comes with software, and has its own oil supply. AA also runs at a higher boost but still produce's less power.
AA kit also has fuel injectors, however for some reason also has a fuel pressure regualtor. If you search the FI forum you will see this has been disussed over and over.

However most people now buy the ASA kit. It used to be a closer race for best kit. ASA supply Aplina with SC units for B7 and B5, and also now ESS has started to use ASA SC units in thier kits.

AA is a great piece of kit, don't get me wrong. But there are many reasons why I took ASA over it. I spent a good part of a year researching before I bought and installed. I will tell you more when we meet.

DurgeshDude i spoke to roy today, he said that the car wont be ready for friday. Cause the ecu is sent to america to be reprogramed and it's not coming back tell next week. :banghead: i'm so gutted. By the way he say's hello, and that he is still working on his torbo :shhh: he will let you know when he has completed it. Roy said the sc on my car is a rotrex turbine. have i just made a mistake, give me ur opinion as u seem to know a bit about sc's. :hmm:

Dude you have not made a "mistake", its just that, everytime ASA produces more power on 330's than AA, at a lower boost. However AA requires software, ASA does not. (Which is a good and a bad thing.)

The Rotex units has been kwown to fail, ASA have not had a failure in the history of the company!

The other major point is you can upgrade ASA all the way to 400BHP+ and this is a no no with the AA.

The advantage you have is CA. Autotech, Roy is a good guy and you have them to back you up. I drove to Germany to get my kit reinstalled by ASA themsleves, again some of the best guys in the business.

ASA has not dealer in the UK... yet... I think a couple should be coming soon.

Keep us informed, and good luck with it. Do you have a coupe or a convertible? Manual or Auto?

Hi Sandeep, sound like a AWESOME ride you've got there!! Most post some pics once it's done. Is the car with Roy in Portsmouth? Or is it at BUT?

I'm going over to ASA in 2 weeks :woot: :woot: to S/C my 330. However, I'm going for the SK+. It doesn't come with an intercooler and kicks out a lower boost ~5psi. Still good for 300BHP. The reason is because I've got a problem with my clutch set up. I've got the RE kevlar clutch plate but because my car comes with the SMG gearbox, the finely tuned hydraulics will not be compatible with a stronger clutch. So for the time being, 300BHP is my power ceiling.

That was last year in june, i was told that i would b getting the car in 3 months. when 3 months wer over, i phoned them to find out what was going on. They told me that the bmw wer having probs with thr orders, which went on until this year june. by which time i just got so fed up that i told them to cancle the order, and order me a second hand 03 plate. which i should hopefuly b collecting next week fully completed to my spec. The point of my story was to warn u, not to make the same mistake that i did by ordering a new car from autovouge. As u r ordering a used 1 u should not have a problem. Good luck with ur search 4 the bm.

Dude Amazing Spec, you have done all the bits!!! SICK

I have a vert, so overall performance is going to be about the same.

To be fair you are not going to have that much more than peppernick, the SK plus might have been a far better option. Its under £3K! for 300BHP, I know what the UK SC prices are, and I am guessing you paid over double that, correct me if I am wrong. I don't want to make you feel bad, but that's what the forum is for research before mod's!! ie ask US all.

Anyway your car is going to be SICK. I def. want to see pict's so please post when you are done.

At the moment the best bang for buck is the ASA SK+, that's what peppernick is having fitted soon. And the power is not so much that you will have to spend 1000's on changing other parts of the power train. Also its a bolt on bolt off, so if you ever want to go back to stock very easy. Our labour rates in the UK are crazy, and that's where this gets even better, and kit only take a few hours to install. Will take a stock 330, to just under 300bhp.

Thanks for your detailed answer. I have been quoted outrageous prices by Hartge and AC Schnitzer for the supercharger conversion... ASA is much cheaper ! But I fear for the reliability of the engine with such a mod...

Ok this might make you feel better.....

1. ACS has a Supercharger, therefore it's BMW approved, which means BMW think the engine can take it.

2. ASA have Never, YES NEVER, had a engine failure because of an SC install in the history of the company.

3. Most impotantly if my engine is still working the way i drive it, there's no problem.. it can't be bad.

OK there always risk's, but then M3 engines are known to blow with no mods.

In fact just on the math of it more stock M3 engines have blown, than Any SC'd cars.

At the end of the day, its up to only you, and you have to be prepared for a worse case situation.

10-26-2004, 11:31 AM
As far as i'm aware, AC Schnitzer has pulled support for their supercharger. They will warranty their existing install base, but no new installs.

Unless, this is a crock of $hit?? This was discussed on e46fanatics a few months ago, hence my point of reference

Durgesh
10-26-2004, 11:36 AM
No this is true, its only in the UK.

Because they are hard to install, the UK guys did not know what they were doing, and therefore had a lot of warranty claims.

Last I heard, it's all good in Germany.

No this is true, its only in the UK.

Because they are hard to install, the UK guys did not know what they were doing, and therefore had a lot of warranty claims.

Last I heard, it's all good in Germany.

Precisely. Over here, it's hard to find a tuner with good enough turn over to know exactly what they are doing, let alone the muppets at a BMW dealer!

Sandeep, for sure mate, if you want to do it for Fun, Stana pod or the thrope, its the way forward. If you really want to know, we need to dyno them on the same dyno right after each other.

Mine being a Vert, has a lot more weight than your car. For example M3 Coupe is 0-60, in 4.9. and Vert is 5.5!

Nick and I were talking, and we think his car when its pushing 300 bhp will probably be head on head with mine.

When are you guys doing the dyno, and how far is it from North London, if it's cool maybe I can come down.

Dave, that's a great price for genuine ACS mirrors, BMW retail these at well over £400. I'm assuming Roy's price is unpainted, but he's able to get them painted and the work is flawless, I've had some bits off him in the past and no complaints.

The ACS setup does NOT include the motors, your exsiting mirrors need to be taken apart (really easy) and the motors donored to the new ACS housings

hi durgesh and all

the Rogue pedal is good by all accounts , placing the bite point lower as you say .

Sandeep , i am working on the oval issue , not easy but i will sort something .

my M3 turbo is not fully finished yet , ( all these damned customers wanting their cars tuned keeps me away from my baby :-) , but I am determined to give it some time end of next week when Mr Sahota s 330 is out of here ; For any who are intersted here is whet we have done lately :
- boost controller , up to 16 psi
- thermotec heat lagging ..everywhere !
- revised fuel rail and regulator
-iridium plugs
-revised induction
-revised piping

Next step is to fit a map sensor and remap on the uni chip we have fitted , hope fully this will smooth out the power curve a bit and eliminate two annoying flat spots at about 4500 and 5600 rpm .

Then Brunty here we all come ....anyone know where we can hire speed timing equipment ?

all the best

I have one of these, its probably not as good as the GPS stuff we used last time, but having done a few test's its not bad at all.

I'll get back to you directly about the pedal soon.

What I wanted to ask Dantec, is if they would be able to cut a section out of my bonnet, above the SC, and place a piece of Glass/Plastic flush over it. So you get that Ferrari 360, but just over the SC, off centered. I think it would look sick. The EvoTechnik boyz and I have been talking about it for ages, but not found anyone that has the skills to do it.

hi mate

yes , i have one of those g meters too , they are ok but we have found up to 20 % error sometimes ..whatever the manufacturer says .

Let me look into hiring some "mother" of a gps system , if we are goona do it lets do it properly , then when we ost the results for all our cars no one can argue , can they ?

Regarding the vision panel in the bonnet , yes this can be done , but a few downfalls
- can steam up/ condense , making it look unsightly
- leave it parked in bad area and someone will try to scratch or put stone through it
- can leak .....even Hamann no longer offer the vision panel on their Las Vegas V8 e46 for this very reason

In terms of cost , I estimate around £1200 , based on one we did a while ago.

I reckon my quote of around £1200 is accurate , includes respraying entire bonnet .

glad you all like the work on Sandeeps car , all carried out by my goodself and mechanic Michael ( oh alright , Michael did most of the hard bits while I watched ....) .

The car puuls really strong , more so than another superchrged 330 we have here , which you will see featured in next months PBMW mag .

Hi Dinan 03, yes that is a quad exhaust , hamann /avr , but we are going to change it as it is actually quite restrictive and muffled . The tank in the boot is a water/alcohol injection system , cools down the intake charge thus allowing higher boost levels and maintains power through prolonged hard use of the car .

Also i have a brand new VIS racing vented carbon fibre hood to fit e46 pre facelift , with carbon grilles , going cheap I was wondering if anyone on the forum might want it .This is a private not commercial sale , so hopefullyi wont upset the mods with this .

Click on the "user CP" link towards the top of this page (upper left), on the left hand side of that screen, the first link "Edit Signature", click on that.

Then, assuming you have the picture hosted somewhere, right click the image and select properties. You will get a URL, copy that and then using image tags, [img] past your URL [/img ] just remove the space in [/img ] and you'll be set,

Quite a DTM look ..well cool . Can I ask where you got the splitter ? They are a ridiculous amount of money if genuine.....

Much as i hate ACS pricing and policies , their wheels are the nuts . I have been landed with a cancelled order for 17 " type 2 racings , been trying to sell on ebay for weeks , but of course no one wants 17 " these days , so might just have to sling em on the Turbo.

hi all !

just finished fitting ltw flywheel to the 330 , as with all such flywheels there is a rattle at idle , but the car is really revy and picks up after gearchanges much quicker and smoother .

We had the car on the dyno yesterday showing 320 bhp and 310 lbft torque , not bad at all ..BUT ...SHE is running a little lean at top end so for safety sake we are sending the ECU back to be remapped with higher fuelling figures after 3500 rpm ...Active are very good at this kind of "remote - remapping " , we send them the ECU and the dyno /lambda /boost plots and they do the rest . This new map should lead to a bit more power and even smoother running.

Unfortunately this means poor Sandeep has to wait even longer that he has already , but we wont let any car go out until we are sure it is as "sorted " as possible . As i am sure you guys know , lean mixture is the kiss of death to a force inducted car , rich mixture is ok , but definately not lean .


one of you was asking about the boost gauge ..quite funky dont you think , with the display going black when power is off .Very easy to read as well , £80 to forum members INCLUDING pillar mount .

We had Performance BMW mag here yesteday doing a shoot /article on a white 330 conv we supercharged a while ago (300bhp ish ) , so watch out for us in next issue .

right , i am off street racing in Mr Sahotas car ( kidding sandeep , just kiddding , put that Glock away now ....)

Durgesh

Thanks for the info Roy. Can you post the Dyno? Would be interested in looking at the curves.

Hmm, boost gauge is very nice. I'm not into piller mounts my self. Do they also make Oil pressure and EGT in the same design. Any triple pod mounts that could go on the top of the center of the dash?

Sandeep, no worries mate, it will be worth it. Like Roy says, 'let them do it properly, so you don't have to go back to get it sorted'.

Oh this will give you a laugh ....I fitted an adjustable boost regulator the other day , went out for test drive and gave it full throttle after which point i realised i had left the boost setting on maximum and not minimum as the boost gauge hit 28psi !! My car is only set and mapped for 10psi ! Well , she went like a rocket alright ..right up to the point where the bottom end started making funny noises. So yes , I am now having to rebuild bottom end , so will put in forged pistons whle i am at it and go for a 16 psi stage 2 set up . Will be fitting a map sensor as well to make the mapping smoother .

Sandeep ECU is now off the car , we are fitting up power pulleys and adding some freebie bits on the car for all the waiting around he has endured .

that gauge set up is very Nick , I reckon get yourself a Garmin unit on top of dash and do the gauges ...after all it must be at least 24 hrs since you last modified your car :lmao:

ok , Ecu is now winging it's way to the US , previously we have fitted the Rogue power pulleys , has made car more free reving and "snappy" under about 4500 rpm .

Sandeep , i mentioned some styling items we would fit for you on the house , if you look at the pics you will see some of them , eg :

- chrome indicator bulbs
- xenon colour 100watt high beam bulbs
- high power xenon reverse bulbs
- xenon side light bulbs

I am also going to install some nice pedals and active gearknob .....more pics soon

Hi Roy.

Basically new project was an X5. I was literally about to sign for a 3.0d however, after some research, I found out that in 2006 a new X5 is to be released and will include a 3.5d twin turbo. With the diesel on a 10 month waiting list currently, it made no sense for me to order a new X wait for a year, run it for only a few months before it became obsolete. If I'm going to spend the money, rather have the latest and greatest. So I get to enjoy another summer with the drop top then I'll be talking to you about plans for the X :)

Hey Sandeep, I was at Roy's on Saturday and I saw him&Michael balancing your beast. Roy said your car is frighteningly quick so make sure you bring some pampers when you have your first drive. :thumbup:

Hi Sandeep, I only saw your exterior and the interior (not the engine bay) but it looks very 'professional'. In particular, I really liked the massive tarox brakes and the boost gauge :thumbup: Roy said you need to be careful of speed bumps as your splitters are low:) It's wednesday so by the time you read this you should have you car back maybe? Please send more pics thru once you get the car back! Good luck!
