I recently sold my E36 M3 and bought an '03 VIII with 30k miles.
Im trying to achieve in the neighborhood of 300whp and have a budget of ~ $1500-2000 (not sure if these power goals are even realistic for my budget - if not feel free to say so, or recommend another path to get me started).

Does anyone have any dyno data for the buschur racing stage 1 kit? the full TBE caught my attention as its somehting not included in most otehr packages at this price.

How about the "Power Package"? Dyno numbers?

any thouhgts on these kits? are there kits available from other tuners that include similar hardware/make similar power that i should be considering?
or is there any "stage 1 kit" that everyone generally considers best?
thanks!

 

read Warrtalon's sig and that will answer your question

 

You're on the right path, man. If you do the BR STG1, the WT/BR Stg1, or the BR pure power package, you will be happy. Your goals are DEFINITELY feasible with that budget. In fact, I would surmise that you can surpass your goal with $2000 spent unless you need to factor in installation costs, in which case a full stg1 + shipping + install will probably be around 2k. However, you'll be where you want to be, and the car will be ready for the next round of mods...

 

Like Al says.... "Buschur POWER"

You will be more than happy with stage 1 with your budget

Trust Warrtalon and I

 

thanks guys, appreciate the insight!

 

Yup, BR stage1 and if you have a little wiggle room do fuel pump...more wiggle room do cams and headstuds. You will be making great power!

 

I have Buschur stage one (intake filter and TBE, no cat, reflashed). She did over 350wtq and 336whp on Atlantic Motorsports dyno. Since I have retuned some and I would bet it is closer to 340whp or a lil over. Pay no mind on the track numbers in sig, that was before a retune, same parts though.

SQ

 

nice numbers but he wont make that with an 8

 

I would definetly do the Buschur warrtalon package. You will surpass your goal of 300whp and the driveability,even gas mieage will be better. (if you can keep your foot off the floor) LOL. good luck.

 

so does ayone have dyno #'s to post?

 

if your tight on budget, theres a couple part that you can easily source as good condition used on this forum. it will save u alil here and there and will add up in the long run.

 

Dyno #'s will be different for everyone, bottom line it's a good package w/ all the right mods.

 

+1 on that

I would do those mods, plus Fuel Pump + Cams. That gave me around 330-340 to the wheels after a good tune.

 

my sig is pretty indicative of what you can do with stage 1, although an 8 will be a little slower/less power.

 

i agree with everyone.. buy it.. youll love it!
