I didn't see anything but bmw's on that site, looks nice though. I was watching the video they had on the m3, and out of nowhere the guy pulls up to a sex shop and starts looking at toys?! I wish I knew German so I could understand what was going on haha.

Guys, we need to wait until ChuckNorris gets his kit available. He is expecting more power, probably a lower price and regardless of whether you can keep your stock engine cover or not, we need to support one of our homeboys here at the forum! Heck, I'll mod your airbox to fit if that's what it takes for you to buy his kit over the other one!

I have a feeling that it will totally be worth it! And march is only three very short months away. If you have a problem with the other one, you'll have to learn German...That would take way longer than 3 months!

I like the name of the chuck norris kit better, and yeah I would rather support him. After seeing how in depth he went to make sure everything works perfectly, and that he would actually stand behind it makes it worth it to me. Although it should be less money anyway. He should supply all of his customers with chuck norris fact stickers.
Chuck Norris destroyed the periodic table, because he only recognizes the element of suprise.

When Chuck Norris takes a shower, he doesn't get wet. The water gets Chuck Norris'd

Great looking setup, but 292ps @ 0.96 bar. I don't know...doesn't anyone else find that number a bit low for pushing 14psi boost? It's like the compressor is way undersized, perhaps just to fit in the little crevice between the heads.

the kit in the picture is made by infinitas and cost about $5000, after import fees and and imbalanced Dollar to Euro conversion it's just not worth it. they can be found on the bimmer forums, as I doubt any euopean company is pushing crossfires, this is for the mercedes m112 and m113.

you guys should wait for Chucks Eaton SC, as it produces a flatter power curve and more boost at lower rpm's due to the eatons larger volume vs the dinky centrafugal set up. exspect to loose another 2mpg with the big eaton.


here is the infinitas site, I believe this is the SK1 kit http://infinitas.co.za/ tell them you own a c320 or slk320, I would guess they still have the parts.

from looking at the installation manual I notice they install a restrictor plate near the intake port. this could cause high pressure and low volume..

it's not a good design, but its a good design from a fitment and production standpoint.
