    Hello all, The project First post on here and I’m looking for advice on a much discussed topic – how best to supercharge (SC) a 1998 BMW E36 323i convertible so that it produces between 250 -260hp. The car is my every day drive, so I want it to remain reliable and moderately economical (if...
  2. BMW 3 Series Forum - Technical Talk on the BMW E46
    Hi all, I'm hoping you can help me make this decision. I was originally looking to get an N54 335i or 135i M Sport on around 60k miles (£10k-£12k). But after a lot of research, I don't think I want to deal with the problems they're prone to (fuel pump, injectors, water pump, turbos, etc.)...

  4. BMW 5 Series - Tech Talk For All Gen Of 5 Series
    I'm vaguely thinking of supercharging my 1996 E39 540i, maybe with a VF Engineering centrifugal kit. Realistically how much is doing this likely to decrease the life of the engine? The kit is 6psi boost by default which is fairly low and would give me ~410bhp at the flywheel. I'd really love...

  7. Supercharging your BMW
    Ok, only a thought at the moment, been thinking of supercharging my e46. What am I likely to gain/loose with a supercharger? Cars done nearly 140k, has a performance back box, no secondary cats and a pipercross induction kit. Also a remap would be added along with a super charger. Are they...

  12. Supercharging your BMW
    I see it pretty common to go the super charging route on these engines and seems a lot of people are considering high mileage engines to charge (Suprised!) What I don't know is what are the fundamental parts required in a "kit" and what parts need to fit onto BMW parts in the engine bay. Why...
  13. Supercharging your BMW
    Hi guys, A purely theoretical question here: say you supercharge your stock 325i - what do you need to replace/upgrade/uprate in order to keep it 100% healthy and reliable (even when driven hard)? I mean, it's not purely theoretical, I do have a 325i coupe and I was looking at this...
