Damn...another use for the 335i. Hopefully Hoosier will offer some knobby tires and KW will offer a lift kit!

deyum
so cheap
trackers / motox'ers should jump on this...especially at $595 intro price...

Vince@ V K Motorwerks · 07-11-2008, 01:16 AM

Damn that's why I saw Travis Pastrana looking at a 335i and drooling.

You know I ment autoX not motorX. LOL however motorx does look fun. Need to try that.

8 hours - bummer! Definitely still considering the full kit, however, as I consistently hit 250+ now that the weather has warmed up

Great work guys!

Vince, I have the E90 without the OEM oil cooler. So do I need to have the full Kit?
How much will the full kit cost?
Thanks.

Riss Racing · 07-11-2008, 11:40 PM

Looks good, great price!

I had the same issue as you. The full kit's price has not been determined as of yet however, we will make it a reasonable price. There is a bit more to that kit both in parts and in labor. If you have no oil cooler at all then this mod is a must especially if you are going to push your car hard or track.

What is this thermostat adapter? I'm glad you guys are offering this compared to doing the core exchange.

Thermostat adaptor will fit directly into the OEM thermostat and will connect the AN-8 fittings of oil lines. This will also give people the option to go out and buy readily available lines such as SS braided hoses.

Except for the fact that the brake cooling duct needed to be cut for the fitment. Does this need to be done or did you guys just ahppen to do this?
I would appreciate whatever you guys can do so we do not need to cut anything.

The brake duct has to be cut, there is no way around it. A new duct should cost about $25 and its pretty easy to replace if you have to get it back to stock.

nospleeny · 07-12-2008, 02:01 AM

How much for the full kit if you don't have an oil cooler?

Azrielsc · 07-12-2008, 03:41 AM

Thanks Vince for the photo! Will get back to you on this.

The dinan one does something similar. Replaces the duct with a much smaller one.

uberschnell · 07-12-2008, 09:06 AM

Vince,
The re-designed louvers are light years better then the original idea. Just top notch!
I'll be ordering asap, and I'm going to hold off an an fmic to see what you guys come up with. Any idea when we might start hearing some specs on that?
