January C32 Special
For the month of January, all C32 ODPS kits with our intercooler reservoir upgrade will be available for $1499; $300 off their regular price!
As many of you already know, our pulleys at their regular price of $1799 offered the best bang for the buck upgrade on the market, of 30hp at the wheels on 91 octane. Now, $300 cheaper, this deal is even better.
This special pricing also applies to our Stage I and Stage II upgrades! Stage I, normally aggressively priced at $2890 is now available for $2690, a $399 package savings offering 50hp at the wheels!
Stage II, regularly priced at $5490 will also be discounted to $5290, offering almost $800 in savings!
It has been over a year since we've had a special on C32 performance products. This is your chance to transform your Mercedes into a M3-crushing machine! Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
Thanks,
Ben

Thanks for the Sale Prices. It would be nice if we could save $300 on Package 1, like you are giving on the ODPS.
I am still trying to make it through all of Vadim's posts and the discussions on pulleys. But since the sale is this month I will ask the questions and save a little of my time.
Right now I am comparing Evo's offering to Renntech's. After reasearching the fact that both are in effect solid pulley's is clear and not as big of an issue as it started out to be. My question's concerning your pulley's are 1) Do you still use the light weight alloy pulley's and didn't I read about one company pulling their alloy pulley's off the market due to problems? 2) How much boost do you run with the pulley's installed? Additionally do you have a copy of your Dyno run's vs. RPM (instead of speed) and do you have single gear Dyno Run's?
I am sorry I know that all of this has been covered before, but there are a ton of posts to get through.
Any chance of offering additional discounts if for a Stage 1+, say stage 1 with the intake (and maybe another item or 2)?

The reason Stage I is only discounted $200 is because there are already discounts built into it to begin with.
Our pulley is the only solid alloy pulley on the market. Renntech uses a press on pulley, which they attach to the stock crank. This effectively adds weight to the stock pulley. Ours on the other hand is lighter=more power. Our pulley kit also underdrives the accessories back to their stock speeds (as changing the crank accelerates them). This adds power and longevity to those components in comparison to Renntech and other kits. We have been proven to provide more power under the same conditions for these reasons.
We also include an intercooler reservoir upgrade which is crucial when increasing boost. The additional 6 liters of cooling capacity allows the car, which while stock heatsoaks easily, to maintain healthy boost levels without running lean or detonating.
Pound for pound, our ODPS will gain more power, with better reliability, for less cost.
I was able to quickly find a dyno of SilvaC32's Stage I dyno showing 44hp at the wheels--immediately after installation. More power is gained over the following 200 miles (as he can attest to) when the car's ECU fully adapts to its conditions.
Thanks,
Ben

How much boost does you ODPS run? Also what is up with the Dyno run, why does the after run not start until ~5400 rpm?
I am sure I will find the answer as I search through your R&D posts. But it is the light weight of the pulley's which has me a little concerned. There is the whole controversy concerning added wear to the bearings and crank. I am not an engineer, but I play one on TV
. But I am trying to reach my conclusions about where I stand on the issue.

ODPS info
Here is more info on ODPS kit.
The reason for short run is due to it being part of acceleration run that started in the 1st gear and than went through all gears. The spike is the shift from 3rd to 4th. With 4th gear displayed.
Do a search in C32 forum with "R&D" in the field. You will find quite a bit of info on this kit.
If you have any other questions I will be glad to help.

I have about 2500mi with my EVO Stage 1 + SL55 intake and have had no problems whatsoever. I went from 284hp at the wheels to 333hp, probably a little more then that now that it's been broken in. In fact, I pulled easily on a modded e46 m3 on the freeway just the other day. This is the best mod for the c32 hands down.

I know we have talked about warranty issues in regards to the service people needing to prove that the modification were the cause of the problem. But on another note, has anyone with their mods who have taken their car in for service or any other mionr work had their service people comment of the mods or try and claim that your warranty is void?
I remember last year, when I spoke with Vadim, he mentioned that they service their car in Laguna (I believe) and their service people look the other way. If I took my car to them I wouldn't worry. The service people I take my car too claim that just by me putting illuminated door sills on and having my Valentine hardwired my electrical portion of the warranty is Void.
Thanks in advance.

Stage II
So if I purchase Stage I now and say over the next XX number of months add the additional parts to bring it up to Stage II. I need to get the ECU reprogrammed to take full advantage of it? What is the price to upgrade from Stage I to Stage II software?
Also does anyone have pictures with the stock pulley's and Evo's side by side? Does not have to be all of them just a crank pulley comparison would be cool.

Honestly dont ever let a tuner or someone selling you something tell you that you dont have to worry about the warrarnty. They wont be there to back you when you blow something and MB denys your warranty. When you mod, you take the risk of voiding your powertrain warranty, and even more if you get into the electrical system. Its easy to say, oh yeah no problems, dont worry about it, but aside from people like Dinan, I dont see any warranty type backup from mods.

The majority make informed decisions on what mods to do, and what risks they take on, so good luck to you.
