Forget the Turbos....about time we had some one around with a supercharger..

http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/sh ... p?t=472042

TCD will now this because he is metioned in the thread etc..

But yeh..NICE!

I want to get my Blower going again now but properly this time.. ..but i have a turboto put on...what is a man to do!

We've seen it, we've helped him out to get it running "decently".
IMHO it's a very poor installation with a very long charge air tract, very small IC cross section and you have to remove the blower and it's mounting bracket to simply adjust the rockers... not to mention hiring a team of spelunkers to find the spark plugs.
... and, Aaron, a turbocharger IS a supercharger driven by a turbine instead of a belt

His huge-ass low-quality pics don't enhance the perception of his installation, either. Oh, well, some folks don't understand quality vs. quantity...

Holy clusterfuck Batman! ~0 I'm sorry, but that just looks like a thrown together pile-o-shit compared to TCD stuff (trust me, I know )

My fave part is this...
"this system is a clear competitor to the fancy (and expensive) turbo system they (TCD) have recently come on line with."

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

Sometimes it doesn't pay to lend a helping hand.

Yeah, a "competitor" in that it looks all kludged, isn't proven, and he has nobody willing to make the parts.

How 'bout the brainiac "xatlas0": "Perhaps if I made a combination 1/2 air-air 1/2 water-air intercooler, with the water half replacing the radiator?" Uhh... yeah.

I know that...what made you think i didnt know that? LOL..you have insulted me....but i take no offence .:p

I put a super charger on my car..i know hps they work. (thats what i was saying..i had one.

:p



Before anyone goes..OMG that Sucks..i was just playing around at the time with Toyota blower... worked OK...well the belt lept slipping off. ...long story...intend on putting it on a car properly one day in the future. should by all acounts have a 30% power increase. (The Rod shop in Castlemaine..do it to Buil V6s and Fords Aussie straight 6s ets..all nearly around 4 litre motors..no intercoolers..very impressive...they also built the final objective a Chevy with a P51 Rolls Royce engine in it...

I would expect the belt to jump, as it looks like the SC is not bolted to the engine. The engine will shift from torque and cause the belt alignment to change. Thats as we like to say "ghetto". Look forward to the modded system

It does look sloppy (mine is too ) but it probably works... poorly. Is he using 3" tubing??? I mean... he's using ALOT of 3" tubing! And yeah... 3" tubing into this little FMIC then 3" out again... i mean geez. That plumbing could have been done much better.
