Last dyno I had produced 454 HP and 509 ft-lb torque.

today I dynoed at 458 HP and 520 ft-lb torque.

It was done on two different dynos, on different days, so take it for what its worth.

Im still waiting for the emailed graph so I can post comparison, hopefully I'll get it tomorrow.

A/F is still all over the place, but as usual, still waiting for RT or Creative to do something about it. Guess I shouldnt hold my breath.

 

[hi its me arya]

you find the airbox to be worth the money?

 

[chukiechz]

you find the airbox to be worth the money?

if you compare the price of it to the RT box, then yes. As far as gains go, no.

 

[SDSilverM3]

It's still a nice piece. The fact that it did produce power is an added bonus.

 

[hi its me arya]

just wondering. Its kinda like my BMW. ALmost impossible to gain any power from any mods. They just lookd good

Actually no.Your talking about 2 complete types of induction cars.Your BMW is going to take alot more money to get hp out of comapared to any forced inducted car.Thats the beauty of forced induction.

Sell your 330 and get a C32 or 335i.

If you like the V8's then go straight for a used E55,best of both worlds.

Sure there is,thats his car not yours.If thats is the case then get a 335i.Mods are cheap and very effective,same as the C32.

Wow... That's NOT bad at all. :thumbup:

 

[hi its me arya]

sorry for the threadjack

 

[chukiechz]

sorry for the threadjack

no worries, I've been guilty of it many times.

C32's are fun to drive

 

[hi its me arya]

^^ my only grip with it is that it looks identical to a C230K....come to think of it, i think the 230K looks better lol

4hp and 11tq wow i was expecting 10-10 like you said the different dynos and days could have a factor in the numbers. either way like i said when i decided to get 1 im gettin it for looks and any power is a bonus.

chuckie, you using the foam filter it came with or did you have a k&n or green filter in the stock unit like most guys do? just wondering if the gain actually came from the carbon fiber box or the filters it came with? the foam one's should flow a little bit better than paper filters so if the gain was from the foam filters then you probably could have spent a couple of bucks just for the filters.

 

[chukiechz]

it was with the foam filters. I knew it would be mostly cosmetic. I think I jumped on it because I got the r&d pricing on it.

I just feel sorry for people who buy the RT box and expect "30 HP"

 

[jangy]

Haha!! Chuckie is on to something.

 

[Rock]

Chuk, can you list all your mods? I will be interested to see if you need to modify TB, Headers, etc. for this box to make a difference.

I am having some difficulty with the 80mm air-box install but if they can get the thing bolted in on Wednesday. I will be able tell you if true gains are achieved when I head to the track on Friday.
