Simota Carbon Fiber Intake System for 335 !!!

Sneeze · 08-15-2008, 06:28 AM

Afe is half finished compare to this one, CF is even better for looks for car show. Can't wait for the dyno.

PJ@M-Force_Design · 08-15-2008, 03:14 PM

Here is the difference:

Rule # 3. If you want to ask about performance, the answer is "The performance of first version (in pics below) is same as GruppeM. The advanced version which is we are going to have GB for will be better than GruppeM.

What are the target performance gains of the intake in whp / wtq and why has it to be carbon ? The Gruppe-M is not famous for it's power-gains. I like the concept but I would appreciate a black non-carbon unit ( carbon under the hood ??? ) and a price < US$ 900. GL with the product !

e90AW335i · 08-20-2008, 01:17 PM

Lets see what is inside the box, that is what matters.

Mr. 5 · 08-20-2008, 02:06 PM

Will someone please attach the photos from the first thread so I can see them at work??

e90AW335i · 08-20-2008, 02:18 PM

Here you go Craig:

Mr. 5 · 08-20-2008, 02:22 PM

That's extremely nice!
Hopefully it's much much less than the GruppeM.

N54YO · 08-20-2008, 02:27 PM

I wonder if this Intake will allow you enough space to put on a strut bar...

darkphantom · 08-20-2008, 03:30 PM

when you guys start the GB, will there be dynos of this vs. the stock airbox? what about temps? thanks!

stillclaimndp · 08-20-2008, 03:42 PM

that looks tight but i would never buy it for two reasons:

1) you sound snooty listing off your thread rules, then go on to say it makes the same power as someone else's product, that isn't very informative or professional.

2) it probably makes less power than a $130 dual cone, fashion over function is for show cars and high heels.

Gotta agree with this..Dont post a thread about an intake and then say you refuse to answer questions, especially ones on price..How hard is it to give a ballpark price? I'll stick with dual cones

SennaZ · 08-20-2008, 04:47 PM

Looks beautiful!

Unfortunately, by using what appears to be the same intake plumbing as stock there's little to be gained excepting whatever comes from the conical shaped filter.

The other real problem with dynoing these things is that, around these parts, only Dinan and a few others have a fan big enough to simulate real world airflow conditions.

There are two version of the 335i Simota Intake.
Version 1 and Version 2.
Version one will be the cheaper one. Version 2 is the better performing one that is a bit more expensive.

I edited my post if you want to edit your quote to match, not quite as insulting as it was originally, tell PJ to work on his marketing, repsect.

aab3218 · 08-20-2008, 07:22 PM

Looks very clean, when can we expect before and after dyno charts?

snipersix · 08-20-2008, 07:26 PM

now i really wish this was available for the 328i cause the one for ours made by simota got pulled out of production..

or a BOV?

BoostedBMW · 08-20-2008, 08:24 PM

The more options the better. Nice work.

I hope that it is priced reasonably.
