turbo/super charger

tightie · 11-01-2005, 07:16 PM

so, is there a supercharger or turbo charger out yet?
i want one

Guess · 11-01-2005, 07:23 PM

Another reason we should have a engine/drivetrain section.

No there isnt at this point, however, there have been very limited changes in terms of placement and location of a supercharger. Doesnt appear to be much room for a turbo.

The only tough part is engine management.

i think some guy up north is working one one.

kt157 · 11-01-2005, 09:50 PM

i think u should of just got a 330 instead. yeh a 325 w/ sc will be faster, but a 330 w/ sc will be even faster

yeah but paying the differnece of 6,500 jsut for a bigger engine is stupid in my mind. i rather pay even 7000 to be able to be faster then the 330 and a m3.

wrong...... you won't be faster than an m3...and im sure everyone's heard already but i'll say it again "there is no replacement for displacement," but a S/C would be tight

SV Concepts III · 11-02-2005, 12:01 AM

I'm betting that supercharger kits won't come out until the new 335 is released and the 330 becomes the 325.

theres a lot of turbo'd is300 smoking m3s

longtran · 11-02-2005, 12:59 AM

super charger would be better.

krndanic307 · 11-02-2005, 01:43 AM

Excuse my ignorance... but as what I read... 325 and 330 doesn't have much difference? plus weight to ratio...?

sunchild · 11-02-2005, 01:54 AM

than you can keep your 325 and be happy and i'll keep my 330 and be happy.

TorqueFreaks/HorsepowerFreaks is making one. They made a thread few months back regarding this. Do a search. I believe they bought one e90 and one 5 series to use them as test vehicles.

Torquefreaks is about 30min away from my place. Maybe I'll give them a call and ask them what is going on with the R&D. I went to a Dyno Meet @ torquefreaks few weeks back, didn't hear anything about it.

Oz · 11-02-2005, 02:34 AM

I am sure many people would love to have this but I don't know if I want my 330i to be any faster than it already is. It's more than enough for me

If you´re ever smoked by a Veron while driving a McLaren F1. PLEASE don´t feel sorry for yourself.
Nobody should or could ever feel pity for someone driving a F1.

Just to let you know a turbo kit is pointless (in my opinion of course). You you are into custom work all you need is.....

-a turbo (whatever size)

-a turbo manifold (might be impossible to get but you can always build one

- an intercooler

- and intercooler piping

- and a downpipe

Turbo kits are expensive and overpriced. They come with alot of unessesary stuff

I put one togethor for my civic but the again it is an E90

I would know i have one

tightie · 11-02-2005, 12:02 PM

but anyways, wouldnt a supercharged 325/330 beat a M3? for sure the e36 body.. the e46 body i think it would too.. agree?

maybe the 330i s/c.....not the 325i, it would also have to depend on gearing

if you're lookin at just 0-60 times, you can probably even just compare the e46 330i s/c to the e46 M3, because the e46 330i and the e90 330i are about the same roughly 6sec.-6.1. in fact the e46 330 zhp is a lil faster

ward · 11-02-2005, 02:48 PM

why not just buy a 330 to start out with?

it's not $6500 difference, it's as low as $2700 if you get xenons logic7 and power seats on the 325.

i love how people won't spend 3-4 grand to get factory power, but 6-7 grand aftermarket sounds OK
