Technik Power Kit
Looking for a nice intake setup with a possible software upgrade for my 2006 e90 330i for christmas. I noticed that this company has a "power kit" that includes the software and intake, anyone have any info on the realiablility of these mods, check engine lights, warranty issues, HP gains. It just seems like quite a bit of money for an intake, a chip, and 27 HP. There is also a stage 2 available that adds headers, but i think a recent post with a sound clip on this forum turned me away form that loud groggy sound that it produces. Any info on this intake/ chip package would be great, thanks!

I have seen and heard Technik's 330i with GruppeM intake and full Supersprint exhaust with headers in person. I wouldn't describe the sound as groggy. It sounded very nice and was not obnoxious.
The Eisenmann exhaust sounds nice in its own right. Hunter's set-up was a combination of using the Supersprint headers with the cat-back Eisenmann system on a 325i. The 325i and 330i also sound different. |

ye the supersprint headers along wit the cat back eisenmann are a loud combo... but aside from the sound issues
didnt the headers plus his cat back system give him some power gains? headers are good to have also. the headers taht are included in the technik power kit stage 2... are those basically the supersprint headers? the ecu is theres and the intake i think is the Gruppe M or like it? its a good kit for the power it gets, just pricey |

and yeah i believe if you put headers cams etc. on your car, you're basically gonna void your warranty. no 2 ways around it. |

regarding the power kits.. it said stage 1 consits of intake system and ecu software for gains of 34hp stage 2 is same stuff plus headers for gains of 44hp u think that they would come out wit a possible stage 3 power kit?, that may perhaps like include all the same stuff as stage 2 plus cam shafts or more... for like gains of 50+ hp, sometime soon? cuz taht would be sick |

i don't think just an intake plus ecu is capable of yielding 20+hp
im skeptical... and the e90 doesn't really run rich as it is, so there wouldn't be too much leaning involved. maybe the ecu itself would just yield >10hp on a good day. Lastly, is the ecu a complete replacement of the factory ecu... or is it a piggyback unit? |

problem with modding N/A BMW's is that their engines are already damn good. replacing headers and cams intake exhaust isnt enuff to yield major power. supercharger is probably the easiest way and best HP/dollar ratio. not sure of FI offerings for the e90 but if its out i'd reccomend it. |

but even though many ppl say its not wise to mod this car, if u have a passion for it ,go for it cuz imagine headers, cams, exhuast, intake , ecu, mayb suspension mods as welll PLUS tat supercharger u were takn bout.... lol amazing but i agree, u wont get much from these kinda power kits, but its better than nothing, and when u get it all these mods at once, like as in these power kits, u see a noticeable difference just main thing is, is this technik power kit legit, there claims on 44hp for stage 2, true? and is there gonna be a stage 3 and when? |

Our BMW E90 325 Stage 2 powerkit consists of a carbon fiber ram-air intake system, SS304 tubular headers and matched performance software. thats wats it says on their site: http://www.technikpower.com/site/pro...5%26sort_by%3D so i just wanted to know that wat brand each of their mods is i know the air intake system in that package is cf gruppe m, prob the best intake for e90 im pretty sure the ecu software is technik engineerings own software, i heard theres 2 versions, and 1 version is specifcally tuned for CAI systems, gruppe M in particular, and so itll get the greatest performance gain and so i just didnt know wat the SS304 tubular headers were, and so i thought they were the supersprint headers, am i right? i know its not the exhaust, the package only has the headers in it, so i just wanted to know if it was the supersprint headers, thanks im interested in getting this kit when its available, the headers along wit my eisenmann quad race exhaust will be a loud combo, i know its been tried but i know a way to control the sound. and plus itll sound really nice wit the gruppe m, so im going for a real nice sound here cant wait till it comes out, until then i guess i just have to wait, mayb a stage 3? any info? |

hunter had that set-up as you probably know. He had Eisenmann race 2x76 exhaust with SR pipes, Supersprint headers and GruppeM intake on his 325i.
Yes, Technik's combo is the GruppeM intake along with full Supersprint exhaust (including the SS headers). Have you seen and heard hunter's video after he had the headers installed? |

i already have the eisenmann race 4x70 exhaust with SR Pipes. i wanna get technik's combo when its available wit the Gruppe M intake and the SS headers and the ecu software. basically i want hunters set up but frog, u said that the combo inlcudes the FULL SUPERSPRINT EXHAUST. i thought it only included just the SS headers... bcuz thats all i need is the headers, i already have teh cat back eisenmann exhaust system. i dont remember it saying that the combo included the full SS exhaust (hell i dont even know wats included in the full ss exhaust). and, besides those 4 things, eisenmann exhaust, sr pipes, ss headers, and gruppe m intake, did hunter have anything else along with those things to help him out? i remember he said something about random tech. cats? wats that |

EDIT: When you purchase Supersprint's S-pipes, you can get it with their cats or purchase other ones that may be less expensive. Technik actually did this on their 330i, and I believe hunter has the same ones. |
