$350 spending limit

[Realhotguy77]

Ok i got some money. 350 to be exact. I dont know what i should get next. I already have a dinan stage 3 suspension kit, sub'frame connectors, x-brace,Cosmos CAI, and AA SSK. Im thinking eurosport high performance underdrive pulleys or just sharking my car. IM SOOO LOST. If anyone has any suggestions as to what i should get, please feed me the info. Oh by the way, i want something that'll give me a lot of low end power. Nothing like a intake manifold that feeds it the most power at higher rpms. Thanks.

Crank pulley or LTW flywheel

[Realhotguy77]

Is it true that u have to only have one of those? That if u have both its bad?

[///Mink]

Track time. Best investment you'll make.

[Realhotguy77]

Nah. My car is all suspension and i've been to a couple of tracks. Im looking into a little more performance right now.

[HellBilly]

i do believe so. I have heard great things about both, altho i would prob go for the LTW flywheel / pulley upgrade.

[Realhotguy77]

HUH??? I mean that if u have that combo it can be bad for ur car.

i meant the acessory pullies :)

[Realhotguy77]

AHHH i see. Yeah, thats what im leaning to. After that then maybe the shark or chip, the the DDE enhanced angel eyes.

chip would be a very good idea too

[Realhotguy77]

I figure chip would be better if i have a lot of mods on it already. Because dont u have to change the chip whenever u put some new performance mod on ur car. Lets say i would get the chip but then after get an exhaust, would i have to change it?

i am no expert on the matter but i dont believe so. unless you are doing drastic changes. and you can allways get it "re-programmed" i dont think you actually have to buy another chip

[Realhotguy77]

Great info once again hellbilly. Thanks.

[WTFPENGUIN]

after every mod you should get re programed, the programming is used to adjust the amount of fuel and air, and other stuff.

with 3.5 intake, 3.5 hfm you get software
m50 manifold+ 24lb injectors re program
cams, headers, exhuast, reprogram

I think it is best to get all the mods at once so you don't have to worry about reprograming.

For the 350 you have I would save a little more and get a used exhuast, AA, Dinan, Eisenmann etc

Good luck

[hc1001]

CAI and exhaust dont need any reprogramming of the software...

save ur money for something else...

[///MacDaddy]

For a limit of $350 the crank pulley is your best bet. A LTW FW will cost you quite a bit more. Unless you do it yourself labor will be a minimum of $300-$400 and since your pulling the tranny off may as well do the clutch kit too, more money.

Oh, install some upgraded tranny mpounts like the UUC TME's w/bushings along with the crank pulley and you will probably still come in under $350.

[Chongus]

If you have not learned yet, $350 won't do crap for a BMW. Crank pulley would be your best bang for the $$

[300ZXNA]

Does the Dinan Stage 3 include swaybars? If not, you could get some Eibach's or UUC's for that price.

[Max M3]

...Crank pulley would be your best bang for the $$

2nd that....

[bimmer95]

After that then maybe the shark or chip, the the DDE enhanced angel eyes.
If you already have Euro headlights, you could get UUC's pulleys and a set of DDE Plus for $354. I have both in stock now. Of course I also have Shark Injectors back in stock too, free shipping on all of those.

[Realhotguy77]

To answer ur question, yeah dinan stage 3 suspension kit comes with Dinan swaybars. Look at the pic.

How much for just the pulleys?

[ZimDoc]

ah those are strut tower bar, swaybars = under the car and they are normaly colored.

[BMWg84]

You can't really get a lightweight flywheel. labor to install it would be more than what you have to spend. I say Shark it!

[bimmer95]

How much for just the pulleys?
UUC -> $175 shipped
Eurosport -> $250 shipped

I have both in stock now.

[WytLytnyn]

I agree that $350 doesn't mod anything with these cars. If anything, go ahead and replace one of the well known things that wear out in these cars if the cash is burning a hole in your pocket. Perhaps a SSK?

Maybe you should save more money, get LTW flywheel/and clutch. The ability to let your motor rip to redline will transform your car more so than any intake/exhaust mod.

[Realhotguy77]

Read my mod list, i already have a ssk. I already have a cai too.
Drifter- Yeah my bad, guess i was just reading too fast. Dinan stage 3 suspension kit comes with sway bars also. They're blue. I'll get pics later because my dad took my camera for work today.

[bimmerdriver99]

Go with a shark chip and underdrive pullies. You can get them both for around that much.

[Bernanke]

crank pulley and fan delete will really help transform the way the motor behaves. you can easily get both for under $350.

[JClark]

Another vote for track time.

[BMWg84]

Crank pulley, fan delete

[o8OneLight8o]

vote for crank pully w/ M50 manifold + accesories (175 + 125 + ~50, for parts) You'll get at least 20 horses to the wheel for your 350 bucks/
edit: accessories = parts.

[DeeM3]

crank pulley it'll make for a more free revving motor.

[Realhotguy77]

I've decided on pulleys. PM me those prices again if u see this.
