My install for the cams was between $700-$800. In the 32 motor they really wake up the top end. The car just keeps pulling. I am very happy with the purchase.

Erick provided great service as always.

If we put everything including HE, cams, fuel injectors, ECU, LET crank pulley and code3 SC pulley, what kind of hp/tq to the wheels are we looking at here. Just curious.

I wasnt even aware that you can do the code3 SC with the crank pully without overboosting...

I am running the 185 and dont have very much boost room left...

Well the s/c max rpm is 20,700.
What's code3 sc pulley size again? 65.8mm?
Using LET 185mm, it turns out to be 185 : 65.8 = 2.81155 ratio x 7000 rpm = 19,680 s/c rpm. Scary, but still below the limit.
Or better yet, use 181mm - 181 : 65.8 = 2.75 x 7000 = 19,250 s/c rpm

Cool..thanks for the info. I share your concern, but even more so with the 181 with teh code3 as I have thrown "check engine" lights with overboost just with the 185 by itself.

I guess time will have to tell..

What's the threshold of s/c rpm before it triggers the "check engine" warning?
I'm almost sure you can safely put 185 crank + 65.8 s/c as long as you don't go above 6200 rpm. That would put you well below the 10% off of your s/c rpm limit.
The sound would be awesome tho !!

PS: just realized you also have a white C32.

It does sound freaking incredible as it is now...!!!

What were you doing when you hit overboost? What speed, gear, rpm...

The "problem" is not the SC but the MAP sensor. Looks like you can keep below the SC rpm limit but still generate too high of a reading for the MAP sensor.

You could always run a MAP clamp to avoid this problem but it is a band aide and you will not be adding any more fuel.

There are a couple group buys on Mymbonline for ECU flashs but I dont know if I will be biting the bullet ones speend inivations and the other is powerchip. I know I too am excited to see these parts coming out for our cars! Im in the process of getting the new headers and pullies from VRP cant let that deal go! As for the price yea its expensive but not nearly as expensive as parts from Renntech or Kleemann!
