What kind of gains can you expect from a larger throttle body and how much bigger is the S600 throttle body over ours? Was there any modifications needed in order to get the throttle body to fit? Is an E55 throttle body similar to the S600 and is there a difference between size?

Sorry for the delay gentleman. There has been a lot going on here at Fluid MotorUnion these last few months including a move which has doubled our size as far as square footage goes.

In this time we have taken on new projects but aside from that some projects have been delayed but not forgotten! There will be an update on this car by the end of August, one which will enclose final details on this build, etc.

Thanks for keeping interested guys, we greatly appreciate it!

Off topic: what camera and lens(es) are you using to take the pictures in this thread? That alone is fantastic!

I can't help but follow you, but it looks like we have similar interests.

What happened to the update? I feel like the C32 gets no love.

I saw some prices on ebay for the intake pieces and I think you are looking at $600+. Check it out: http://motors.shop.ebay.com/i.html?_...&_sop=15&_sc=1

I checked out the BMC website and they have a whole bunch of models for different applications: http://www.bmcairfilters.com/infoCDA.asp

I think the model he used was the first one in the link above: CDA100-150

Here is a link to purchase, comes out to be $315 per side, not including hoses. http://www.bmcairfilter.com/infoCDA.asp

Sorry for the delay guys! Our dyno has been holding us back on releasing final graphs of this car. We are hoping to have final dyno's released in the next 2 weeks once the dyno is back up and running.

If people are interested in this intake we may be able to organize a group buy, let me know your thoughts!


If any one has questions just shoot me an e-mail via mmarzano@fluidmotorunion.com and I will get back to you asap!

Let me know if you guys want to get a group buy together, we can fabricate those pretty quick. The BMC's aren't too cheap though!!!! What pricing do you guys have in mind for a group purchase?

That's our unit made in house, the FMU writing looks terrible because while the CNC was cutting it extended the "n"

It has since been revised.

I'm definitely interested. Since I already have the SL55 setup, I don't really need the splitter or the splitter tubes though. I guess I'll start a list to see who's interested

Intake

I am interested in this intake system, but that is as far as i can take it for now. Not knowing the benefit to cost ratio makes it hard to include me in a group buy. Once all the information is available, i can then make a decision if it is worth the investment. I am looking forward to the details.
