Supercharging an M52B25

[Peter-E36]

Hi folks,

Just out of curiosity and interest really, what would be involved, what superchargers are available, what power gains could one expect, and what costs would you be looking at?

I know it would probably be cheaper to drop an S50B30/32 lump in but how much cheaper? Would be more interesting to supercharge imo

get cab on the case..did you ever see the kits on ebay,would be afraid they would blow up but haven't seen evidence on any car site they have failed either.would be some project..go for it

Yea would be great if supercharging is an option somewhere down the line, as a lot of work has gone/will go into the car and engine is nice and healthy so would like to stick with it

You'd have your Dakar M3 for the money though...just saying :wink::tounge:

It almost sounds too easy....???

If it's plug and play as described it'd be pretty amazing! .....Hmmm maybe it's not too late to cancel holidays

i pricing putting a turbo in mine your thinking of supercharging yours, these are going to be two very interesting 323's

This would not be any time soon Shaun... but good to know what can be done further down the road. Would be very interesting to see the results!

same myself sure ive it pencilled in for next summer. Be getting all the kit in bits and pieces so to spread financial burden and fit what can go on as i go ie evo back end, exhaust upgrade big brake kit etc
