VinnieAces · 12-20-2011, 07:52 AM

Beedub · 12-20-2011, 09:08 AM

this has gone to quiet for my liking :-( Pro-efi flew in to help get the car running but for some reason, its still not running.....

tikamak · 03-09-2012, 04:18 AM

Any news in here?
* Traction control in pro-efi?
* Power levels?
* Fitment clearance? intercooler, intake positionning?
* Dyno charts?
* Pricing?

I'm dying out here for more info.

Careful guys, if HPF hears you talking bad about them they'll raise their prices even more then they already are! SSSHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

BMW Maniac · 03-12-2012, 09:21 AM

Well, looks like HPF is going to have to go back to the AEM....since ProEfi no longer deals with them....

VF just came out with a supercharger kit apparently as well....

Beedub · 03-12-2012, 01:01 PM

disgusting behaviour by chris @ HPF, i would NEVER EVER buy a kit from him after the way treated marcus and more to the point, the way he just is is unbelievable unprofessional..... ive never seen anything like it...... 110% glad i choose ess.....

Pro-efi PULLED dealing with them for a very good reason.....

dazed^ · 03-12-2012, 01:22 PM

What happened here then?

ZStig · 03-12-2012, 04:40 PM

Are there any facts to back up this poop flinging, or is this all just speculation?

DataStream18 · 03-12-2012, 04:54 PM

Holy hell what happened?!

beta · 03-12-2012, 05:28 PM

Google brought up these two threads

one, two

Holy **** that is a crazy thread. Here's a good summary post from page 11. If you don't feel like reading the whole thing.

The HPF turbo Z4M is already running with the ProEFI EMS. There are a few little glitches that John is working out with the system and we will have dyno results soon.

HPF made a video to show it wasn't their fault. When the video was released, ProEFI called immediately offering to rebuild the engine.

If I had spent (according to the guy) "close to six figures" in a shop, I would expect a very different experience. The way this was all handled was horrible.

When the guy, who is patient like a saint, asks if HPF can help out somehow, maybe throw in an engine block (after singing the praises of HPF and its staff), Chris replied with this. Basically saying "this is not our fault" based only on the timeline of events.

lol damn...so...what's going on exactly -_-? Due to an M3's blown motor, ProEFI and HPF are no longer working together, and therefore no Z4M turbo kit?

i wouldnt have posted what i just posted if it their wasnt clear evidence.....

To be fair to chris, i like him and i like his company but the way he's been mud slinging recently is just shocking, the way marcus has been treated imo says it ALL!!! Anyone that wants to take the time to READ the thread, wtach the video, and really drink in the detail you'll understand why ive taken the stance i have...

in the video the god damn pistons rock back and forth within the sleeves!!!

HPF i love the company and i love what youve done with it, as a businessman as well i know how hard you must have worked, But actions of recent have put serious tarnish on your name, i really hope you can turn this around....

johanness · 03-13-2012, 03:22 AM

No rebuttal from Chris @ HPF after everything that's been said? All this tarnish and yet he has the nuts to come into the thread and say the HPF turbo Z4M is almost ready with 'a few little glitches' left?
Who in their right mind would hand over a single dollar after this escapade without so much of a peep to put our minds at ease?
