yep, even dinan's s3 system, is pretty much a bolt on, no internal engine work required.. so in essence 600hp should be feasible..dmc said:They prepped for 8-900 hp lovelove .. not 610.![]()
gra8fuldd ed said:Tin ... YOU are mostly correct about the Dinan Supercharger SC-3 Kit being Bolt-On and that Dinan will NOT Dive Into the internals of the M5 engine, (Unless you want their New Intake and Exhaust CAMS ... BUT ... As part of their SC-3 (Supercharger - 610hp) package they also add or include Headers, Larger Throttle Bodies, Different Tuned Velocity Stacks ... aka Trumpets, A New High Flow Ram-Air Intake, Dinan Stage 6 Software and the Free-Flow Exhaust System. They also include BUT probably does NOT directly add any Horsepower BUT will add Torque ... Is the Lighten Flywheel with a High Performance Clutch and the 3.45 Differential.
Dinan STRONGLY recommends that the Rear Subframe be reinforced due to the added torque of their Supercharger Package.
BTW ... Has anyone at CA-Auto mentioned why type of BOOST (PSI) they were looking at that would be omptimal for the M5 motor? What and where and HOW would they COOL things down in theri system?
Somehow ... Supercharging our motors doesn't really seem like a Do-It-Yourself on a sunny afternnoon type of "Bolt-On" modification!!
Just my .02
cheers, you forgot yourselfrogbacon said:4th June is all confirmed for a mini-meet with CA Automotive. Tin/Dave/Piers and possibly Peter so far.
Should be feasible dude, the BlackM5's car still had a fair amount of mileage to be run in still, hence "safe" tests were made on low boost...foxyboym5 said:reading this month's bmw car mag, to be safe they left blackm5's at mid 600's i believe, so im still sceptical.
anyway, i read with interest :byebye:
Josh, 5900GBP works out to be $10,832.95.. plus delivery and installation. No idea if you have pay any customs charges when importing into the US, but still at the price, very cheap compared to the other supercharger kits on the market. :typing:bmwusa said:Maybe I should get on this bus, 5900GBP's sounds like a good deal, I wonder how much AA will charge? Does anybody know if you ordered one in the states would it just be 5900 GBP's or would I have to pay the VAT and import duties? Josh
Where did you get this figure from?dmc said:1,100 GBP for the warranty(per year)
Yep, still up for this.rogbacon said:OK thanks Roy, I'll do a little digging before our trip down on 4th. Tin, I hope you are still up for this (and the others too).
