Just found this on YouTube. That idle seems better then a e46 running alpha N. The two e46 m3's running two different boxes and two different alpha N tunes have an idle the hunts a few hundred Rpm's but otherwise drive flawless. One is making some serious power over 350hp with stock motor.

I was waiting for the Evole Box to come out, but idk if/when that will be so i just upgraded my ESS kit, when its all said and done a supercharger isn't far away from an airbox and has a much higher $ to HP ratio

Depends really how you use your car whether or not FI is logical means to go. On track I would prefer NA as there are more potential issues with FI car... Belts breaking, overheating, limp modes.....

Commenting on the units saying Alpha N unavailable:
There are quite a few Alpha N's for the s54 and most alpha n's are not plug and play. You have full control over fuel, often timing, closed loop etc. You do the tuning and most of the units I have experienced can be done on the street. This thread is very similar to what is common on the e30m3 and my track car: CF/FG airbox and alpha N. |

Evolve can do the alpha-n tune, see here. Lately they've been tuning superchargers from other companies, so it's entirely possible they could tune any of these airboxes, you could contact them to see if they can do it for you and pricing.

Supposedly evolve has an alpha-n tune. CA-Automotive did the UK z4m CSL, and rumor is the actual alpha-n tune was done by evolve, don't know if it's true though. But at least we know ca-automotive can provide a tune.

Thanks for the appreciation on our airbox. We have been trying to get a hold of a Z4M and alter the frontal cone to make it fit but supercharger projects are taking up all of our time (yes... S54 is coming). AlphaN is available. We have not developed it on the stock airbox as it's a little pointless. Once we get an airbox onto a Z it will be very quickly available. |

Strange... the Bimmerworld one, had an option for MAF a few weeks ago, now it's gone.
It said "not recommended" but they had one that didn't require Alpha-N. (I am not an alpha-n fan, due to it's lacking properties over a MAF system). http://store.bimmerworld.com/e46-m3-...ons-p1242.aspx Just like this one http://store.motorsportsconcepts.com...3-z4m-maf.html I truly wonder what the power difference is, since having a MAF is totally preferable for a street driven car.
