Supercharge z4 list

[Machine monkey]

ESS are making one but he engine dose not take well to forced induction. Something to do with the n52 casting material I think.

 

[pokeybritches]

^ that, and something about being able to oull vacuum for the bypass valve. I'm not familiar enough with the N52 to say for certain. You can't run a blower without a bypass valve though.

I think this guy needs to be on the list- loved following this thread back in the day and if anyone is thinking of supercharging their z it would be worth a read!

Yes, I sold it. But I'm back with my E86

 

[LostBoy_84]

Would be good if you all listed your BHP and torque so we could see what power each different setup makes.

 

[Beetlegav]

In performance bmw mag this month there is an e46 with an ESS TS2 supercharger, Schrick 248/256 cams and e36 m3 evo high flow headers putting out over 400bhp .......it got me thinking that's for sure

 

[GuidoK]

Is that the car from a guy called David? (a blue 330i).

If so he has a topic on e46zone.com.

 

[Beetlegav]

Yeah Laguna seca blue. M3 rep

I am planing on a 2k build but it's going to be a lot of fabrication work witch I can do. It won't be a normal set up either. It will be remote meaning the turbos in the boot. It will have full as you drive mapping ability and standalone ecu so I can have multiple maps a safe 350bhp - to crazy Bhp. The system will be built on 2 small turbos with the ability to run up to 650bhp and similar tourqe. Obviously a forged engine will be needed for that. 2k should buy all the bits I need. Then rolling road and tuning time on top that could cost £££££ but should be reasonable with the ecu I am planing on using.

Thread hijack sorry Mac.

Did this ever get built?

 

[Machine monkey]

In a word no... Not yet!!
