Active Autowerke 330 C-38 Level 2 Kit Pics Inside

[Jean@ActiveAutowerke]

Hello Board,

We have received quite a few inquires about a level 2 kit for the E46 C38 kits.
So we decided to show you what we have been working on.

We will have Dyno numbers soon.

Right now we are testing the kit in everyday conditions and heat of South Florida.

Enjoy.

[e popa]

[TKC]

SAMI!! If you need a test vehicle.... you can always call me... :4ngie:
You know... just to make sure the results are ok in the west coast weather.... :D

[zeshon]

Welp, won't be able to afford a stage two for my 328 C38 for about a year, so I'm in no rush.

[icosaca]

Isn't stage one making something around there?

[AzCamel]

stg one is right around 300rwhp

[bigjae1976]

Will I have to upgrade any engine internals or install headers/cams for stage II?

If it is anything like the E36 M3 Stage II kit...I'm excited!:excited:

No engine upgrades necessary, you only need what AA suplies in the upgrade kit :thumbup:

[fmzip]

Isn't that slightly higher than a stock M3 rwhp? How does the torque on this stage 1 setup compare to a stock M3?

[icosaca]

what pulley are you guys runing on this blower for the m54??? how much boost are you getting??? could we use a larger crank pulley, or smaller blower pulley to bet to arround 15-17 psi???

jorge saca
only you can you the high boost ;)

[sheefo2k]

what if we install a thicker head gasket and lower the compression? Then put more boost

[icosaca]

what if we install a thicker head gasket and lower the compression? Then put more boost

you dont need it....the problem is the blower cant generate more boost... the engine is fine.
jorge saca

[sheefo2k]

how is that possible? our motor are pretty high compression motors which are not good for any fi..

[330CK]

figures...

i install the stage 1 kit and the stage 2 kit nears completion.

hopefully an upgrade kit will be available soon too. :)

[sheefo2k]

the reason i didn't buy stage 1 during the sale they had is because it said stage 2 is near completion or something like that.

ahhh i cant wait. more pics guys. quit teasing us

[AzCamel]

Isn't that slightly higher than a stock M3 rwhp? How does the torque on this stage 1 setup compare to a stock M3?

yes, stock m3 range from 270 to high 290 with mods such as exhaust, intake, and chip

[zeshon]

the reason i didn't buy stage 1 during the sale they had is because it said stage 2 is near completion or something like that.

ahhh i cant wait. more pics guys. quit teasing us

They will have an upgrade available... It's just gonna be a bit of piping, an intercooler, some mounts, a pulley, belt, and a software flash.

[icosaca]

how is that possible? our motor are pretty high compression motors which are not good for any fi..

our motors can handle 12 psi on stock compression... anything over that, id lower the compression but not by plenty....
i honestly think its not necessary to go all the way to 8.5CR unless you are runing a turbo, and boosting arround 20 psi...

[bigjae1976]

If you look on AA's site, the E36 M3 has a C38 Stage II upgrade kit for $2900 which is/was on sale for $2600.

AA said in an email that their goals in price/power will be similar to the E36 M3 kit. I'm waiting to see the end result before I make a final decision...C38 Stage II vrs ESS TS Stage II.

If the E46 torque curve for the C38 II kit is like the E36 M3 torque curve with the Stage II...then I will definitely go with this kit. Similar low end power for $1400 less.

I am with ya!! :)
What's the best time of the year to buy one do you think, specifically in regards to pricing? Winter months, spring, summer fall? Any idea when the best discounts are given?

Fran

[Jean@ActiveAutowerke]

I took the car for a drive today and all I could say is wow! The power feels great, even in the 100 degree Miami weather, the car feels like it has way more torque, and the power feels like it kicks in a lot earlier. :excited::excited:

We should be getting a chart sometime soon guys.

Thanks

[sheefo2k]

hurry quit teasing us

Yup... felt pretty damn fast :eeps:

[sheefo2k]

AA said they plan to release the stage II kit around the end of the year based on an email.

I'm buying mine in the winter so I can have it installed before the spring. Because spring is the perfect time of the year to go driving.

Plus, it is never fun installing anything during the texas summer heat.

jorge saca

Which motors can handle 12psi on stock compression? Do tell where you got that information!

[sheefo2k]

I though no motor on stock high compression can run 12 psi. even 10.5 is pushing it.

i gotta stop believing a lot of members :lmao:

[SinCityE46]

my next thing to buy on my list thats forsure.

[icosaca]

you cant expect me to tell you everything bro....:4ngie:
and please note i said stock compression, not stock internals...

Updates Active!!

[Jean@ActiveAutowerke]

Sorry for the delay guys. We have been swamped with other projects.

Durring the preliminary testing we are finding consistant numbers of around 336WHP. We are still testing with different pulleys, and once we get another car to test with we will release more info in regards to dyno graphs, and price.

I am hoping and hopefully that it is soon the launching to the market, greetings to all in AA, and Mr. KIRK TAVERAS.

my English is not good:tsk:

If you need another car for test fitting, I might be interested...PM me if you need one!

[bigjae1976]

So are we still looking at a Dec 07 release or will it be sooner?

[Dolomite]

If you need another car for test fitting, I might be interested...PM me if you need one!
:neener: I can't wait.

[bigjae1976]

Any updates?

My car would have arrived at AA a long time ago...except I'm stuck in Iraq:cry:

I really hope this is ready when I get back.

[SinCityE46]

2 more months? cant wait. Will probably pick this up.

[Dolomite]

Just a little update, the stage 2 kit looks very promising. 330's will be known as 335/M3 killers. Nearly doubling your hp for $7k is an incredible deal :excited:! 330 owners, start saving up and get this kit, you won't regret it.

[Jean@ActiveAutowerke]

We dynoed the car again today on our Mustang Dyno and it is looking very promising. We should have it on a dyno jet within the next few days and get you guys the info you have been waiting for.

Thanks

[bigjae1976]

I can't wait!

[Active Autowerke II]

Hello Board,

Here is one of our most average dyno runs in 92 degree weather.

Enjoy.

[bigjae1976]

I'm EXCITED!:excited::excited::excited:

Looks promising...I'm hoping this will be out by Dec this year:)

Any plans for some intro pricing?

[BF330ci]

Awesome Numbers. I am excited!

How many lbs of boost is the stage 2 kit running? and what is the price for the upgrade?

[icosaca]

congrats AA....
fantastic product as usual....:bow:
im sure many people are exiteed about this new kit, and will be purchasing as soon as it is released....
ill be at AA on monday picking up some "stuff".... im sure jean will take me for a ride...
regards
jorge saca

[steelgrey330ci]

its alright,

[Activ3]

Nice! I'm sure with headers, cams, and some better weather conditions (lower temp. and humidity) 360rwhp+ is easily achievable.

[e46Bermann]

good results, or I am impatient of which level 2 this position or in my car, we know something on dates? , thanks and greetings from Madrid.

[beanfree]

AA, Can you please post the mustang dyno too? Thanks.

[Dolomite]

The best part about the kit is that the power is sustainable. They also posted the most average dyno. Like Activ3 said more power can easily be custom tuned.
Jean can you post pics of the car with the kit? I miss her :(
Here's a dyno with higher numbers...
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a391/kenbaranda/dyno4.jpg

[SinCityE46]

wow nice power band curve

[330CK]

there'll be an upgrade kit for those of us with stage 1 right? :4ngie:

[Dolomite]

Yes! :str8pimpi

[Activ3]

there'll be an upgrade kit for those of us with stage 1 right? :4ngie:

Yup, we need to upgrade :4ngie:

[330CK]

Yup, we need to upgrade :4ngie:

truer words have never been spoken... :4ngie:

[Jean@ActiveAutowerke]

Yup, we need to upgrade :4ngie:

Soon Enough Guys. I will be a lot of fun.

[icosaca]

just thought id mention, while at AA, karl took me for a ride on the stage 2
m54 C38 kit, and man was that fast.......
it was putting around 340whp, but that day, they had done something else to the software, and where dynoing later that day, i guess they got a bit more out of it....
very nice kit for those of you interested.

(j/k about the selling my first born part)

[BF330ci]

Anyone know how many llbs of boost Stg 2 is running??

[icosaca]

[bigjae1976]

The E36 C38 Stage II kit runs 10.5 psi. I imagine that this kit will be similar. Curious to see 0-60 MPH and 1/4 mile times

[RedBarron]

Very nice AA. What's the pricing going to be on this?

I would be happy with 330RWHP.

[ice330ci05]

you my friend are easy to please :craig:


330rwhp is a good start hehee... nice kit!!

[Dolomite]

I'd love to tell you guys more about it, but since it is a prototype and not yet released...
I'll let Active tell you about the details. They're still unsure about which set up they are going with.
All I can say is that I am very pleased, so much torque that I need a new suspension set up on the rears.

YES, the rear tires rubbed a little bit.
that happens when your car sits back under acceleratiooonnnnn.......

[Penn]

Dolomite, what kind of suspension are you using right now?
