I wanted to give you guys feedback on the install of the C30 kit on my grocery getter which seemed to slow for me. I am used to my 730whp awd eclipse and the M5 with bolt ons and the 325ci was not cutting it. Install with the instructions was very easy, the fitment of every component is excellent. I did not have to struggle with trying to figure things out and everything was straight forward. Finished the car late at night, hopped inside and drove 300 miles to Bimmerfest and back. It's a night and day difference from what it used to be. Normal daily driveability has not changed and this is what makes the AA kit a great upgrade for any e46 enthusiasts. Great job to AA for getting this done. Now it's time to upgrade cams and headers. I will be posting dyno results before and after.
:excited:

Thanks. My wallet is not too happy about that, but I enjoy my toys and that's all it matters. Congrats on your new purchase.

I don't have the 540i anymore, but the e46 pulls away from my friends 540iA.

It's grey. I used to have a Forced Performance Green turbo. The car is also converted to awd now, so GSX

Over the last 3 years, trying different setups, strokers, de-strokers, different turbos, going through transmissions, awd conversion, engine mgmt setups, etc I spent over $140k (it's a huge waste of money, but at this time it would be a waste to get rid of the car). Shooting for close to 1000 awhp on a mustang dyno this month at 50 psi and a new high reving motor.
I have some dyno vids, but would have to dig them out. They are short, boring and loud.

well with that amount of experience, you are prolly a wealth of information for any DSM member
50 psi! you're approaching turbo diesel pressures. those things have been known to push 100psi+
good luck with that and post some vids/pics

The 732whp was at 45psi, but due to the fact that the car has a stroker motor we couldn't rev it high. 7300rpm on the stroker and now I am building a 2 liter which will rev past 9k. Extra rpms and more boost should do the trick.
I believe John Shepherd runs 60 psi in his Eclipse.
