They prepped for 8-900 hp lovelove .. not 610.foxyboym5 said:should be cool -
question re the supercharger - how come Black M5 and shadowman have stripped and prepped the whole engine to ensure its ready for 600+hp, but this item bolts on with no additional working to the internals?
??????
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.![]()
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.Tin said:yep, even dinan's s3 system, is pretty much a bolt on, no internal engine work required.. so in essence 600hp should be feasible..

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!!

reading this month's bmw car mag, to be safe they left blackm5's at mid 600's i believe, so im still sceptical.dmc said:They prepped for 8-900 hp lovelove .. not 610.![]()
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:
Lots of info here: http://www.ca-automotive.co.uk/e39-bi-compressor-conversion.shtmlEMPEROR said:THIS MESSAGE IS FOR Alex AT CA-Automotive.
i sent you a pm about this, but did not get a reply.
i am looking forward to getting your sc kit for my beast. i have some questions regarding the kit.
what will the kit include?
what other upgrades do i need to do?
what kind of upgrades do i need to do to re-inforce the rear sub frame?
are velocity stacks a part of your kit, if not should i install them and what brand or kind?
should i replace the coils and the plugs?
i am going to install the kit myself, how long should the install take?
any other info that may need to know or upgrades that i may consider?
thank you, for your help.
