BMW 6 SERIES E63 E64 2004-2010 16PC STARTER TURBO KIT - eBay (item 390218357606 end time Dec-10-10 12:41:42 PST)

 

[eddiejb]

definitely not for our cars...

 

[David Ajax III]

No good; three thumbs down.

 

[Gian124]

not much room in the engine bay with the M6's V10... maybe they can squeeze a turbo in the bay somewhere in the V8 models, but there is a reason why we have yet to see any decent turbo-tuned M5/6 cars around... and it comes down to engineering beyond eBay specials.

lol

lol this kit is like attaching a hoover to your engine

Seems more like a Kirby or Electrolux IMO.

We can have it for $350,000..

800HP Twin Turbo M5

Yeah, but of their planned 10 production models... it is doubtful they ever produced anything more than their prototype:

the idea was decent though, putting the turbos in the only area that there is free space... just not so sure it would work very well with the engine management from a ghost company like this

 

[StevenBSR]

I'm going to have to fully disagree, my M6 is about to be twin-turbo'd and sitting in the 820whp range (faster than the G-Power - in all aspects), and has cost me slightly over $200k; $75K for the twin-turbo kit from ASR (no, it's not available yet.) and $35k on interior/exterior work. + $107k for the car itself. It will be one of the first in the world, and the last thing I'm waiting on is for ASR to finish testing. The interior/exterior work is already done, and I expect 100% completion by late March, early April.

 

[Mark Carson]

ASR as in Abid? Ha ha ha ha - too funny. I hope you are not serious. If so, ask M5Ranger (Juan) or M5Junky all about it.

If you know better then fair enough but is this kit actually coming to fruition? I understand a couple of M5 owners have been left slightly more than just disappointed?

Not that is really matters, but the eBay kit is for a V8 6 series, not our V10 engines.

 

[StevenBSR]

Mark, are they not good? tell me before I invest the $..if the car is not going to make the power they say it is then I'm just going to go with G-Power..

 

[StevenBSR]

I was told that the kit is being finalized and testing is hoped to be done in January.

 

[jontysafe]

TT

I do hope you haven`t handed over any hard earned yet?

Go G-Power or if you can wait a little longer ESS. Both companies have fought hard for their deserved reputation.

 

[StevenBSR]

haven't handed over a cent yet..I was going to pay for it all up front..what is the ESS offering? I'm looking to have a 10s M6..you happen to know how much the g-power kit is? I know the hurricane is $250k..

ESS' Supercharger is just finishing its testing (they are known for solid products and keep that reputation by their extensive testing before releasing to the public).

For the $75k you were planning to spend, you could get a Dinan Stroker and then add the ESS Supercharger and I'd gather you'd be real close to hitting your mark -- It's really hard to say without trying it. You could be in that combo for under $50k though and still have some money left over for headers and other tweaks.

[StevenBSR]

the Dinan package by itself is $50k for stage 3..what would be a good choice of headers to go with?

Yes, the package is, but I was specifically talking about the engine. The rest is minor HP gains from bolt-ons and suspension/drivetrain stuff. I would, however, recommend the Dinan intakes, throttle bodies and some RPI scoops (intakes).

For headers, I like RPI or Agency Power but you will hear a lot of the folks here talking about Supersprint and Evosport too.
