To supercharge or not to SC????

[MACK]

I hear you dab
But not much you can do with N.A. without spending silly money for little gain

Mack you get my issue
As both cars would loose money until plateau
But this way I keep my cars and yes spend money but
Would be a weapon hahaha
An M sleeper if you will
As my brain wanted f10 m5 lump

I pretty sure someones done the M5 lump into a E85 in the UK. I'm sure I read about it on here or there was a link posted to it a year or so back. Not sure how weight distribution would compared S54 with a supercharger vs F10 M5.

I'm in a similar position albeit a bit weirder.
I have a Vortech V3sci Supercharger kit sitting in my garage (for over a year)
...
My biggest issue is finding someone who can write some decent software for the Z4M as the M3 has an older ECU so it's not compatible.

Which supercharger kit do you have?
The original supplier can surely sell you the tuning.

I can probably answer my own question, spotted this on page 2 of the above linked thread "Quite bulky but not much heavier than 3.0 six cylinder 217 kIlos against 241 kilos for the v10." At that rate a V10 engined E85 would probably be actually lighter than the Z4M! Interesting but I guess it really is one of those projects you need to do yourself or labour costs would get well out of hand, at least a charger kit you know its roughly x amount of hours to fit if your paying for it.

Looks sounds goes

Do it.....

if you got a really clean car... then it only adds to the coolness!! lol..

Looking at best part of 10k now days once its all fitted and duties paid... probably abit more... Still monster performance puts it into the serious league.... worth very penny, the car feels SO special, sounds so special , and the performance is quite literally nuts.

Sometimes people wonder part isn't stock when i lift the hood... its such a neat setup and really looks lovely to behold....
ill be at Zfest and i can really spend some proper detail time with you this time.

if you can afford to do it and will keep the car GO for it! total no brainer... Best thing I've ever done.

 

[Machine monkey]

Simpsons told me not to expect change from £10K when I asked them for a quote a year or so ago.

I've been planning to do this / dreaming of doing this (depending on heart or head) for a few years. Until I know the final cost of my wedding later this year, I'm holding off spending the money...yet!

Of note, my current insurance policy through Adrian Flux allows me to add a supercharger for just an admin fee with no addition to the premium.

Can't believe you have to ask Marc surely it's a no brainer, booooost :evil:

 

[RedUn]

Noooo I know it'll make it really fast etc but for me the zed isn't supposed to be really fast it's all about the sound and feeling... CSL airbox and cams... You know it makes sense 8)
