DASC only 4 left !!

[dguzzardo22]

I called Jim and spoke to him about the kit and dasc and well after talking to him he said he has enough parts to put together 3-4 kits . so if i had the money i would jump on this like butter on rice.

He will put together a full kit for _ $3,395
and after they sell there gone. NO MORE DASC...

Thanks for the heads up, but at 3500, why on earth would anyone put that on a 318? A 80K mile 328 motor will put down the same power, more torque, more reliability, and you can pick the motor up for a grand, even with install, you're still under 3500. Like I said, I dont get it.

How many kits are "really" left? LoL.

Why more reliability? Are you aware of any M44 with a stock DASC that had blown up?

Have you taken a look at the torque curve of a M52B28 and compared it to the torque curve of a SCed M44? How do they compare, let's say at 3000 RPM or 2000RPM... At redline you get probably the same number, but how often do you drive at redline?

Are we talking about numbers read off of a dyno? SCed engine really don't like to sit on a dyno...

What MPG do you get out of 328 on your way to work?

Bottom line, the choice really comes down to what you'd like to do with the car: if you just wanna ejaculate over a number with your friends or pull out of a turn going up Mulholland and waive goodbye to Vette...

[dguzzardo22]

he said 3 for sure but he hasnt looked that much in to it to put together 4.

I can't afford that, maybe by the time I can afford it they'll find a couple more pieces scattered around their warehouse

[HuGo]

They keep saying they don't have anymore but yet they keep having kits. LoL.

I know you can afford it dude!! Get one! Atleast buy it, and sell it to me for a profit in the future, when I have the money.

Ok, someone is offended.
Let me re phrase.

1) a M52 swap is less expensive
2) a M52 swap is more reliable (if you argue f/i is MORE reliable than a cast iron block BMW I6, I will punch a pepperoni to your face, really I will)
3) a M52 is faster (I have seen the 190whp ti's run 15 flat at 94mph, thats a joke.
4) a M52 in a stock interior ti will run with a E36 M3 door to door, that's a 98mph+ trapping, 14 flat car. Again, it will wipe a 8psi d/a car anyday.
5) doesnt like dynos? gimme a break man, you're grasping straws there, the dyno tells all, and at ANY part of the rpm range a dime store, stock M52 will out power a d/a'd ti
6) need i even *mention* a S50 or S52?

I am ok you paid more to have a charged ti, but if brainwork is involved, anyone in their right mind would do a swap these days, too many cheap options, vs 3500 for 190hp. no need to pull the ejac vette comment, we arent talking vette cars, nor are we talking vette motors, just a cheaper, more reliable, faster option.....oh and for less money.

P.S.-my 95 M3 averaged 26mpg....toss that in a 300lb lighter car, and the fact that you dont need to rev a I6 for power, and in everyday driving, Id warrant a guess that a charged ti vs a I6 ti get within 2mpg of each other. If that makes or breaks the decision, drive a freakin hybrid.

yes, I can "afford" it, but it would leave me with just a couple hundred dollars in the bank

<333 Agreed. Though i still have yet to see a stock 328ti pull 14 flat.

IMO, the only thing the super has on a swap is that it's FAR less work involved. Any one decent around a car can be driving the same day with the super install. Probably a week or two for the swap.

Man if you guys really wanted a dasc you would try your best to get it. I got a 2nd job just to fund the money for the dasc. And YES i did this while going to school as well.
