Goooooood god.
I swear, last night, after our convo, I had a dream about them.

They look great. Insane work. Once again I stand beside my claims.

Wait until you see the gain with just a basic Alpha N tune, then with an actual tuned Alpha N setup. I don't think anyone will ever run an airbox again.....

[mojocoggo]

Stacks on deck, throttle response on ice.

[vdubkid]

i want to hear it

[schroedin]

Good golly gee that there is magical. :)

[danewilson77]

What the........?

[southpaw]

Does it go "whooooooooooooooooomp"

or rrrrrrrrrrrrrooooooooooooooooooooooooarmp

[schroedin]

:rofl

[Burn535i]

wow, that is just so damn crazy. Definitely looking forward to the performance numbers. I am glad to see a tuner that is going for the approach and style that you are taking with these cars. Old school to the max.

[B Rod]

Wow, that is simply badass. Looks so sick.

[SeanDub]

Fuck me

[frink84]

jaw dropped. on floor. jesus. h. christ.

[Presns3]

sick as fock, but i dont see how the engine will last w/o an air filter?

[bimmerguy2582]

nice!!

[səˈprēm]

need a sound clip! looks sooo sick

[Flavourless]

done and done!! Game over WOW

[BADwayz]

I want some...trade you an almost working time machine and some fruit snacks...?

[schroedin]

wat

[M.Burroughs]

:rofl

[tonyguy]

This is beautiful yet scary. I'm gonna have nightmares tonite :(

[sb253]

I'm like, yo mayn

[Chris@MemoryFab]

Wow
that is so sick

[Niterider03]

So sick!!

[Tuck&Poke]

i wanna hear that thing at wot

[///Montizzle]

Good god....how do you guys keep churning out this amazing shiz.....It's incredible

[TheNeek]

home grown CF stacks? That's silly retarded awesome if they are. Would like to purchase depending on ID for project #2.

[FluidMotorUnion]

Thanks for all of the kind words guys. Details will be up soon.

[schroedin]

How soon :shifty

[FluidMotorUnion]

How soon :shifty

I'm working on it! We tossed a general Alpha N tune for the drive up, got back dyno'd and put up some pretty impressive gains but with a ton more work left. We have been swamped so as soon as one of us gets some free time we'll toss it back on the dyno and work with the tune.

[ignacio]

sick as fock, but i dont see how the engine will last w/o an air filter?

You can throw individual filters or mesh covers over them.

Awaiting details on said stack and system... :shifty

[schroedin]

BFc is going nuts over this :rofl

[B Rod]

Seriously. Its crazy. Serious is such a fuckin douche bag it's ridiculous. He's got some valid points, but fuckin A, internet or not I do not like him...haha.

[SeanDub]

I can't help but laugh at serious now. Everytime he posts I see him shaking and quivering

[Flavourless]

flavourless this is the first time i've seen your car - I'm a huge fan already.

[schroedin]

I got an "infraction" for busting this one out at Serious :rofl

[B Rod]

Dude, I got one for saying he's always on his period. WTF??

[Tuck&Poke]

i just read through the six pages on bfc, lmfao, god damn that serious guy is a douche bag. Hes like Cartman from south park, hes such an asshole, i don't think he even realizes hes being an asshole. All that knowledge and what does he have to show for it? a basically stock e46 m3, how exciting. Sorry to bring this up in here, im sure you guys dont wanna hear anymore about it.

i bet he doesnt even know why its called a stack

[verlumpt]

very nice!

[FluidMotorUnion]

Guys here is pretty much our reply to Bfc thread since they closed it. Aside from that, the bfc thread is pretty much the reason StanceWorks is our companies favorite forum hands down just based off of attitude alone.

For Bfc thread:
"I don't think many people understand the reason why we did this to the car. If you're trying to get at that, this was thrown together just to be a badass, your right. However, we did the math. Solidworks CAD was used to simulate and design the bracketry, adaptors, and airflow velocities. We calculated velocity stack length to the 3ed pulse wavelength at 6000 rpm to maximize hp, it was never designed to maximize the low end torque. The alpha N tune was laid out to lighten up tip in enrichment.

The point of this was to make music, not power. The s52 (not m54) makes a glorious intake ruckus at 6k+ and we set out to expand only upon that. You wont find cutouts on this car because in our opinion, BMW inline 6 doesn't sound its best with open exhaust.

We wanted to make noise, thats it. But the 30 rwhp increase on our dynodynamics was a nice bonus!

We aren't F1 engineers, Nor did we ever claim to be. I guess we should have held our tongues if a forum with so many top level engine designers here. We know that this isnt the best way to run an engine. However it is diffrent and its makes the exact noise we intended. Thats why we posted in rides and styling. If we ever wanted to race this car we would set it up diffrently with an airbox, measure the pressure differintal between WOT and Outside pressure and keep the air as close to ambient as possible. We are even in the process of matching engine internals to support 6-700 more rpm to strech out the top end induction acustics. I hope the intention of the build is clear for everyone.

Dyno Graphs haven't been posted because the tune isn't finalized and we don't have full attention on this shop car right now. There more than a dozen customer cars being worked on before our own cars so when they are done the final graphs will be posted. We feel that we can get at least another 10hp with the tune and we don't like posting things untill we feel they are done."

All those looking for a video:

[B Rod]

Too bad all those A-holes had their heads so far up their asses they couldn't even let you guys set them straight.

[M.Burroughs]

:rofl omg, the sound.
I love it.

[vdubkid]

That sound is like nothing I've ever heard before. God damn that's good.

and :rofl at bf.c I don't really feel like reading through six pages of people yelling at eachother, but what happened? Did some guy just say that it was a stupid mod?

[B Rod]

:rofl omg, the sound.
I love it.

:eek :eek Holy shit...no joke!

[mpower5266]

My god that sounds good.


I am really done with "rides and styling" over there. I only used bfc for the ot and Georgia sub forums.

[Tuck&Poke]

That sound is like nothing I've ever heard before. God damn that's good.

and :rofl at bf.c I don't really feel like reading through six pages of people yelling at eachother, but what happened? Did some guy just say that it was a stupid mod?

pretty much, and apparently hes the worlds greatest engine builder and tuner but he drives a bone stock car :alright and all the wannabe mechanical engineers joined on his bandwagon to bash the mod saying that it was pointless for streetability and power increase, yet i'll put money that none of those people could even tell you why its called a velocity stack :rolleyes

[frink84]

damn that looks and sounds so good.

+1 on bf.c being retarded about it... what a waste

[Mscire2]

the sound that makes is nuts

[TheNeek]

I hope the car I get on Sunday sounds HALF as good.

Amazing. Are you guys using AnSYS or the finite element analysis software that comes in SolidWorks?

[SeanDub]

Badass! Fuck BF.C, its just a bunch of whiny bitches.

[schroedin]

That sounds heavenly. My dad wants some :rofl

[Flavourless]

I <3 Mike and FMU!!

[Flavourless]

flavourless this is the first time i've seen your car - I'm a huge fan already.

Not to steal from this thread or anything, but thank you! There is a thread floating around here somewhere with some more pictures :)

Anyways video is to much awesomeness for me to handle right now :alright

[schroedin]

Fuck BFc these are sick haha

[triggrhaapi]

This is absolutely sick. I still want to see dyno confirmation of the power increase, but it's gorgeous.

If I weren't already dead set on F/I, I'd do this in a heartbeat just for the sound.

[Stolzy]

sick. sond please :)

[jasonklee]

ZOMG....just watched the sound clip. :alright

[hover]

nummy.

[e36rjbmw]

That video just made inside my pants happy.

[EThirtySicks]

Stacks on deck, throttle response on ice.
:rofl
That sounds heavenly. My dad wants some :rofl

Mine too! I just showed that video to my dad and he goes. "Holy shit that sounds nice."



Too bad it's majorly out of my budget range :(

[Geoff.T]

This thread just reminded me that I need to keep looking for S54 throttle bodies
