Delage Carbon Fiber Airbox Q

[nmaino]

Anyone here have experience with http://www.kinetechnik.com/? Also, have/do any of you guys on this board have the Euro engine with the Delage carbon fiber airbox?

[Serious]

delage stuff is awesome but its way to overpriced. hell for the price of the stage 3 e46 m3 kit you can SC the e46 m3 to over 400whp.

Serious: Thanks for the post but I'm not interested in turbo charging or super charging my car. I want a highly strung all N/A engine, much, much cooler then just slapping on a turbo or supercharger (much easier to deal with on a daily basis as well).

I know their stuff is expensive, but how is the quality/built/performance of the parts (is the addmission price worth it)?

[Serious]

its probably the best NA stuff you can buy for s50b32/s54.

$10,000 s50b32 swap + $6,000 in mods for 315rwhp. no thanks.

a SC setup would be way more reliable and less to maintan also. Hell a turbo setup might be less maintance.

trying to strining that much NA hp out of NA 3.2L puts alot of stress on parts. which arent exactly cheap for s50b32.

for that kind of $$$ for an NA setup look into s54 swap.

I know Mo, the owner of that website reasonably well. They do some amazing stuff. I highly recommend them as they've done some amazing things on a few friends cars.

Thanks Ty Vil. Do you have any experience with the Delage products also?

You can ask Da3bous if he is on this board. He has stg. 3 delage stuff on his E46 M3 Cab. And well it rocks.

And just to inform you. The parts Mo list on the website isn't all what you get. There is alot of other things too that is not posted online. Best way to find out is to email them. I have and I am waiting for a responce.

I don't see a CF box for the e36?? :dunno

I talked with MPILOT in the past about different cams and didn't get shiet for an answer he said he would get back to me and never did. :dunno I tried to get some more answers but nothing.

Why Mpilot did that is because he mostly deals with E46 M3's. Getting info for the E36 he ask to contact the Main base of opps. and thats over in the UK.

But I am still waiting for his email informing me of all of this stuff.

[nmaino]

The carbon fiber airbox is part of their Stage II kit for the Euro E36 engine (in other words, you have to buy the engine and the upgrade kit as well).

Thanks guys! I sent him an email and I'm waiting as well to see what happens.

stage 1 performance package for e46, which gives you 20-25 rwhp and consists of a carbon fiber airbox/hfm/ecu costs $4,399.00, and it's on sale! rotfl. i dont care if they make the best product in the world. who the f%$k in their right mind would pay that much money for an airbox/hfm/ecu, even though they are new parts, to gain hopefully 25 rwh? im sorry if im stepping on anyones toes who are affiliated with that site, but that is fu%$ing crazy.

Welcome to the world of BMW aftermarket parts :rolleyes

no. welcome to euro motor aftermarket parts. granted that is all intake side stuff to get those gains. add mid pipes and exhaust and youll get another 10-15 rwhp on top of that. pullies will get u another 5rwhp or so.

on top of the 270whp stock u get with euro 3.0 or euro 3.2 adding 25 for stage 1 (or 30-35 with stage 2), plus 12 from exhaust and 4 from pullies u get. around 315rwhp!!!!! ya its alot of money and Fi is cheaper for more power but whatever the stuff is still pretty cool. it would never find its way above a good SC or TC on my car though.
