Let us not forget the turbo !!!

[carfix]

that appears to be a supercharger, not a turbo

 

[brahtw8]

How could you tell, the belt running to the engine?

Back to the thread, there are a few twin-turbo 850s out there, making 500-550 hp, as well as some similarly powered 750s (mostly E32s for some reason).

from what I have seen dinanbmw.com makes pretty much bolt up kits for the 5.0 (e32) but not the 5.4(e36?) (they also make a lot of other misc performance parts for the 5.0 not the 5.4 Being the only bmw performance company I have been able to find I think this is why.

The 5.4 was in E38 sevens and E31 eights. (E36 is a 1992-1998/9 3er). I am sure people have done turbo or supercharged 5.4s, but I haven't seen any.

I agree that it looks more like a charger then a turbo. first i see no connection to the exhaust system and second it is no twin. It does not have to, i know, but it would make more sense. second, simply the look is more charger then turbo.

 

[Artagra]

Well, I know of an 850 in SA that had a Alpina conversion to 5.5 litres (there abouts) and more recently twin turbos

Producing 620hp at sea level, it's a real beast!

Yeah that does look a lot like a supercharger, as it has that belt, but it is a pretty small belt? must be running a low boost?

 

[epj3]

it doesnt just LOOK like a supercharger, but it is.

Hey man carfix about what hp gain would I expect to get if I put a custom freeflow and vranches to my E30 325i

dude change the E46 in your Sig to E39

 

[PaperBoy]

is that a 'one off' supercharger in there? if anyone knows......who makes it???

 

[SAP_Pete]

It's a PowerDyne supercharger of some sorts, pretty low boost / low output compared to the big ATI Prochargers or Vortechs.

Looks familiar ?
