CSL air intake on a M Coupe
Anybody put a CSL intake in their car?
Really thinking about putting it in. CSL sound is amazing. Here the CSL in this clip

As far as I know it is... shy of the extra intake down pipe that goes to the front bumper. Don't know if the aftermarket versions have these tho... You also need to get an Alpha N tune to make them work which is $1k - $1.5 K. Not a cheap mod for the gains ( which are minimal )... But DAMN would it be cool ! hahahaa
I'm def gonna get one of these as well when the opp presents itself... |

To make it a really worth while mod, you need to do cams and headers as well. Even then, from what I hear, you'd be hard-pressed to get 30-40 more HP total above stock with all 3 mods. So let's see here.... $5K CSL intake & Alpha N tune, $3K Stepped header / section 1, $1200 Cams plus who knows how much for installation.... That's close to $10K . Ouch. That's why people are looking at SCs... But DAMN is a CSL intake cool !!!!! |

Okay guy's it's not just an intake it's a whole new plenum. And you don't need Alpha N to make it work, check out bimmerworld.com. They have one that keeps the maff so you don't need the Alpha N to make it work.

Do you know how to install rockers / cams ? 80% of the guys on here won't even change their own CDV valve. You gotta be more realistic with prices... things are ALWAYS more than U anticipate. |

Hello guys,
I want to go down that road (CSL intake, cams, full exhaust, alpha N), but I can find nobody that offers the damn alpha N for this car! I am expecting an answer from ESS. I think that is better to ban the MAF sensor as anybody with an M3 suggest that it transforms the car in terms of response and cam number choices. Does anybody know anything about a tuner with Alpha N available? |

I believe that there's a couple places. I know Bimmerworld does something as they have 3 different versions of their CSL intake set-up. Also CA Automotive does something as well I believe. You could prolly call and ask VAC Motorsports as well and see what they offer...
I haven't fully done my research on who to go through yet, but I'd prolly start with Bimmerworld. |

Yes it can be done. Look to spend roughly 5,000 Euro for the box and software. PM me if you want to pursue it. I was going to do it, but decided on SC'ing the car instead--more power for less money.

The benefit of the CSL air box is that it directs the air much better than the stock one does. Just getting the Gruppe M intake will not address this problem. That is why I wouldn't go with the Gruppe M. But everyone has different goals and plans for there cars so this is no right way to go. |

I realize this post is over 7 months old, but was reading through it and thought I would post this...I forget where I copied this from. Has anyone gone ahead with a CSL intake on an E85/86?
