wohoo! - just like Homer Simpson at the end of vid. =))))

[chippybmw]

@Omigodable Needless to say I was quite happy with that number! Dinan specs this kit for 414 @ the crank also.

Any internal modification?? its this set up realiable?? great video men!

[chippybmw]

@luciodohc Internal parts are all stock. Supercharger set-up was installed @ 105k mi and has been daily driven very spiritedly. It now has 170k mi & still going strong. A very reliable set up that makes great fun power.

how much boost

[chippybmw]

It gets up to almost 8psi at 6800 rpm. Gauge is small & hard to read.

Supercharger = great for every day use while retaining speed.

Turbochargers = for a complete and utter thrill on a weekend.

I've definitely seen turbos installed on 3 series cars including M3s.

[DoggysStyle]

@someonewithabmw I have only seen 3 with actual documentation of them running. Two s62's and a m62 in an e30.

Yes they are both 2 turbos. The difference is twin turbo is exactly what it is, two turbos that are the same (twins). Bi turbo is two turbos but can come in a multitude of configurations (twin, compound etc.). Dual and Bi is more of the same thing.

@aliAK13 8psi is about 1.5 times more air to the engine Doing 410rwhp is very possible. Boost that low does not need any internal modifications, just have to keep air intake temps low to avoid knock. With correctly sized supercharged that is nicely inter-cooled 8 psi is no big deal. Keep in mind that 10:1 compression burn multiplies charger temperature inside engine, if the intake is temp is low odds for knock are also low. You can also use richer fuel and/or w-m injection with stock internals.

[aliAK13]

there is no way its 410hp at the wheels with 8psi boost and no other internal engine modifications. 410hp at the crank, yes, not at the wheels

[aliAK13]

@M335 same thing, bi=2 twin=2

[someonewithabmw]

And ps, if you wanna twin turbo a 540i, you could make it fit. Find space or put it behind the wheels

[someonewithabmw]

Wow. Just wow. 1. Car sounds amazing and I wanna supercharge mine or throw an e39 M5 engine in it. 2. To the dude that said you can't install turbos on BMWs, WHAT? Your obviously on Youtube so look for a turbo 540i? I already found some. 3. To the other dude, bi means 2. Twin also refers to 2. Twin turbo and biturbo are the same thing.

[snoopyloopy]

@M335 this is false, bmw website lists them as twin turbo.

lots of escaping gas force at the ass end, at :20 you blew off the exhaust tube :D
