Just wanted to share with you that Marco in Rockville's '91 850i made 393 RWHP / 352 RWTQ (382/342 corrected) on the dyno yesterday morning.
Adding 60 HP to account for driveline losses suggests that we're right at our target of 450 HP at the crank.
Engine bay photo, dyno graph, and video below.
Congratulation Marco !!!

This is the Stage II Intercooled version. Stage I, which is non-intercooled, will make approx the same HP as a stock CSi.
Thanks for the kind comments. I will post pics of the install on the motor once I get the car back up on the lift.
If you can make it to Alexandria, VA one evening this week - - and assuming that Marco has no objections - - we can take the car out for a spin.
What year is your car? Auto or manual trans? Miles?

Looks very promising. Great job guys!
I will have john comment on the details but I have seen this install and if the air box covers are attached it is hard to tell from stock. The SC is bottom mount and has proper ground clearance.
This is a first rate install and workmanship. Congrats to John on the successful project and Marco on the newfound power.
Marco...Now you need to replace those skinny tires with some fat ones to stop losing traction on all those gears.
Yes. Among the design criteria for the kit were the following:
- Stage I: Achieve CSi HP levels at the crank.
- Stage II: Achieve 450+ HP at the crank.
- Engine bay should appear as close to stock as possible.
- Bolt on installation - ie no cutting of any metal parts in the engine bay.
- No (or minimal) cutting of plastic parts in the engine bay.
- Installation by experienced mechanic possible in less than 8 hours for Stage I and less than 12 hours for Stage II.
I'm happy to report that we achieved all of these goals with the following exceptions:
- Stage I & II: Two oxygen sensor bungs must be welded into the exhaust system just ahead of the catalytic converters. This should require less than one hour of labor by an experienced welder.
- Stage II: A small 3cm hole must be drilled in the plastic shroud just ahead of the radiator to accommodate the oil cooling lines for the supercharger.
- Stage II: The lower black plastic air duct and spoiler must be modified to accommodate the intercooler.
These three plastic bits could be acquired for approx US$300 (see items #2 and #5 here and item #3 here) from Gault for those that wish to retain the option of returning the car to stock in the future.
Just to echo the goal of keeping the engine bay as stock as possible, I would like to mention that it is actually possible to retain the stock air filter boxes if one chose to modify them. However, given that this would require cutting the filter boxes up - - violating the no/minimal cutting design goal - - that possibility was not chosen for the production kits.

Looks sick. Are those c30 rotrex, or c38's? You should really post this in the FI section.
