No I beleive he told me lower compression ratio by running thicker head gaskets. But if u think about it , it doesnt really mess with ur drive train because these cars are over head cams. It will just make ur chain tighter but that can be adjusted, thats what ur tensioners are for. Im sure their only increasing the size by say thousands of an inch Its not like ur gonna add an inch thinker gasket. The fact that this engine is 12:1 stock just makes it difficult to run more boost and still stay safe. If u can drop that to 11:1 or maybe even less, u get more room to play with boost. U may not like the idea, and I can see y but others might. Just like u chose the stoker kit over FI even tho u can get more power off FI. I personally like the stroker kit as well because u keep the all motor (true origin of the M3) but I couldnt afford a kit in that price range and decided to go FI. I think they are just giving people more options and options are always good for all of us car enthusiast. But I can def. see where ur coming from.

Thanks...I dont have any more right now but Ill see if I can take some later. I want to post more when the intake housing and inlet pipe are completed in carbon. I wasnt being very patient with them (and im sure u can see y ) so they put the prototype intake housing for now just so I could drive my car.

Would this or any other supercharger systems (Gintani, ESS, AA, G-Power, etc.) be compatible with the DCT transmission? Just wondering if the additional 120+ extra horsepower will hurt the transmission or make the clutches slip.

Are u speaking out of pure theory or personal experience? Im speaking of pure experience. You brought up a good point but it can all be fixed by adjusting ur timing, which u have to do anyways when putting everything back together. But your right, we are going way off subject here. This has nothing to do with my thread and its not like im planning to build my own stage 2 or something so no need for me to justify how this works. If u wish to discuss this I think we should Pm so it doesnt pull this thread off topic.

Yes what Robert said...N i dont think any tuner is gonna b able to acheive more then 450ft/lbs of tq. with stock internals etc. So I think any kit out right now should be safe with DCT.

Hi M3P, We just wanted to check in and clear things up.
Niterider is correct, we try to give our customers as many choices as we can. We were exploring the option of lowering the CR using thicker head gaskets. The Stage 2 system is under development right now and does have low compression pistons (not thicker HGs). We'll keep you guys posted as the kit gets closer to completion. |

How much weight does this kit add? With intercoolers and everything.

Not sure but I did weight my car before the install so I will weight it again to see the difference. Will post back with my findings.

That is some very professional information PG.
thanks but its tuff to understand. I the SC will add at least 15kg on the front end of the car. Do you guys think this will also cause some understeer?

Well a lot of things will affect the weight, so it wont be exact just an est. But I did do a couple of things to help me get a somewhat accurate reading. I filled my gas tank to exactly 13gallons, took everything out of my car that isnt normally in it and set the tire psi to 35psi all around for this reason. I also recorded the exact (well as exact as my odo reads) mileage so that I can just drive the same amount after I get gas to go to the weight station which is like 2.3 miles from the gas station. This way if I ever added anything to my car I could compare the difference by just setting the same settings.
