I'll help you if you promise to start spelling better. Please no "was up" & "tha".

Also, how much actual cash do you have to throw at this project, this will help all of us make good suggestions.

supercharger there done

Lightskinx90 · 11-07-2011, 09:28 PM

Haha @rob43 no problem bro. I have $5,000 to put into the car .. What you have in mind ?

Rob43 · 11-07-2011, 09:48 PM

So for about $2000 we can add about 80 WHP & 100-120 WTQ.

Does this sound good ?

Lightskinx90 · 11-07-2011, 10:02 PM

Okay that sounds like a good start ... What do I need ?

Rob43 · 11-07-2011, 10:31 PM

OK, here it is:

1) A Bimmerbrakes Header, fits right the first time. About $250.

2) A CAI from Cosmo Racing, cheap & makes WHP. About $146.

3) A Dynotune Nitrous system, totally complete with all extras. About $1200.

If you want to know more, I can help you put a great running system together.

Lightskinx90 · 11-07-2011, 10:49 PM

Cool sounds good

Do you think it's better to put a cold air intake or a reg. High performance one ?

Rob43 · 11-07-2011, 11:03 PM

Well, a Cold Air Intake would typically be considered a High Performance Intake.

Normally a good or proven CAI will make 3-5 WHP.

Lightskinx90 · 11-08-2011, 08:42 AM

Okay thanks alot for your input bro I'm definitely gonna take a look into all that . Thanks again

Ziggy31 · 12-20-2011, 10:58 AM

What do you think about the Cosmo CAI for M3 E46?

Steven747 · 12-20-2011, 11:02 AM

rod is a very smart man but i would be scared to juice my car

darksideracer69 · 12-20-2011, 11:52 AM

I wanna juice my car, its almost at 200k, is this a good idea?

TDx paNcAkEs · 12-20-2011, 04:56 PM

will those headers that you suggested fit a 2000 323i?

Mango · 12-20-2011, 05:35 PM

you can get headers for any E46

Bmw_fever · 12-23-2011, 04:16 PM

Cosmo or Cosmos??

I have looked at both and the Cosmos looks like the nicer intake...Which one is the real deal?

Bmw_fever · 12-24-2011, 07:47 PM

hello?

Iceman00 · 12-24-2011, 09:00 PM

Injen intakes are still in production and for sale by a vendor in here. I'd grab one of those, as it also replaces the problematic after MAF intake boot. A member here found a few more whp by changing that intake boot to a smoothed out one. Might be something to consider.

Iceman00 · 12-24-2011, 09:31 PM

FYI and was holding my own pretty well (and was losing) with a G35 coupe and a Porsche 944 turbo last night up to 135mph. The fastest I've ever driven and the scariest.

You, and those guys, are fvcking idiots if you're hitting those speeds anywhere but a track.
