The direct link to the product in question is:

Any comments/pricing/installation information would be MOST apprecited!

Thank you,

That looks like a set of hillborn injectors from the old hot rodding days. Basically an 8-pack or a separate throddle body for each cylinder. Creats lots of horsepower when tuned properly !!!!!!!
KOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
BTW UR carbon fiber stuff looks killer man. Ive been totally consumed by work, 500E mods and autoX'n my 190 2.6 5-speed
ITZ ALL GOOD THOUGH :p

I'm no expert, but I think this is basically similar to what BMW has the M5's motor breathe through to get 400 hp out of the its five liters--an individual throttle body per cylinder. Other than that, with dohc, variable valve timing and 11.0:1 compression, the M5's V8 and the M119 seem pretty similar. Being newer, I would hazard a guess that the M5's variable valve timing is probably fancier, and it has a cool-sounding fly-by wire throttle control thing, but other than that the two engines probably aren't apples and oranges and the M119 might have similar power potential breathing through a deal like this (very cool). Perhaps one of the tech guys could jump in here and tell us for sure?

I think it was Sinichi who said that it used Motec engine management in the install...tack on another $3000 on the price tag, not to mention install $$$.

The engine looks real pissed though!
