RD SPORT | performance mod for NA

ran across this on the RDSport page.
they have something for the 325 and 330.


camshafts,
exhaust,
tune (removes limiter / new limit @ 7400 RPM)

325i on RD - 282HP
330i on RD - 289HP

no dynos, just a big price tag, but very interesting camshaft replacement.
4700$ - fack!

Interesting that there's a 7hp difference between the 2 being that they are essentially the same engine with the exception of tuning and the 3 stage intake. I would think at that point, if RD is doing all these mods, they'd be the same.

Or maybe it's just normal variations in dyno results as you would see from one car to another.

the 330 manifold give you a slap on gain of 7-8hp, so there is your only difference right there.

if you add the manifold to the 325 they will even out.

expensive, a little, but if someone were to actually approach a vendor with intent of doing it they would get a lower rate for stepping up. I know I would honor that for the sake of knowing and real dyno results

I'd buy that, but they aren't telling lift and lift by overlapping and do not show dyno's either I have no idea if it will work with my strocker at all or how it will work.

if the price 3000$, then maybe.
for 4700$, priced is very high.
must include RD Sport warranty.
for the 325, this is awesome.

RD Sport has been around, we can assume the numbers are good.
i wanna see how much it's put'n to the wheel, to
compare other performance mod combos.

i like the idea of camshafts and the raised limiter.
if anything the camshafts...

Very cool. I wonder if they have anything for the N51, or if it all works the same

Tried to contact RDSport everywhere I could(mails,skype,their forum, even called to Italia couple of times) regarding dyno's or atleast some camshaft characteristics and they couldn't provide any of those. I doubt that those camshafts exist

Just a bit from their software upgrades:
Quote:
Reprogramming your DME control unit with our Engine Management Software (EMS) will improve throttle response, and provide an improvement in torque and horsepower. This is achieved by fine tuning the spark advance and trimming the fuel delivery to its optimum level.

Unlike many software upgrades available on the market, the RDSport EMS is custom programmed for each customer's car, and is individually tailored to each motors unique characteristics. This is accomplished by downloading additional data, such as the one stored into the adaptive memory, which gives us a footprint of each individual motor and allow us to extract the maximum performance out of each individual motor.
Interesting... Although according to Craven, Gintani's EZ-Flash should be able to do something similar/same when it's released.

Also they have N52 software for each of the models, but their e9x N52 software is $100 more than the X3/X5 3.0si software and I don't understand why. It appears I have 2 local vendors (only 1 of them comes out and says on their website that they offer all RD Sport products including Software Flashes), so I might venture over there to chat with them this week. If only I owned a car that demanded more of an aftermarket, I might be able to compare software gains from multiple companies, but alas, that isn't the case. If I decide I'm willing to spend $695 to get their "custom-tailored" software, I'd definitely get before and after dynos. I'm probably leaning this way; then I could at least post a chart to see how far my 3.0si motor goes..
