AA supercharger 0-60

Fabuloso M3 · #1 (**permalink**) 12-03-2003, 08:17 PM

Lets say i had an AA supercharger that put out what i think they claim 355+ what would there 0-60 time around....and the dinan supercharger which puts out just about the same Hp and they claim 0-60 in 4.7? which one would be better performance wise? b/c i know price wise i'd stay away from dinan

why are you worried about 0-60 times, thats the most worthless stat.

ya but on paper its one that really matters.

0-60 times are not only based on horsepower. You must factor in traction. I dont know how fast my car is 0-60, but I can tell you it would be a HELL of a lot faster if i had wider tread (and if my clutch didnt slip.. bah).

I get about 4.2 seconds out of my RMS supercharger kit. I found the Dinan setup to not make much difference below 4000 rpm, which means the 0-60 time isn't affected that much. I'd call 4.7 seconds ambitious, as well as their figure of 355hp. Mine dynod at 283 rwhp on a cool day.

I believe torque, grip and gearing make a bigger impact on 0-60. HP makes a difference in 0-120

Have you ran your car in the 1/4 mile?

All very good points i guess i should of explained myself better although i did want to know the est. 0-60. I guess i should of asked for more all around performance. So would anyone here know what would be the best performing supercharger. I plan on saving for one instead of going NA because the NA way will cost me to much in the long run...and recently i got taken for a ride in my friend's rms supercharged M Coupe....and it was seriously the fastest car i have ever been in, his best 1/4 was a 12.8 i dont know all of the 60ft times and stuff but i bet they were also pretty good.

Blown M Coupe how much did that RMS set you back $? do you like it, hows it been running?

We've got roughly 330bhp from our s/c 318ti.

It's still under development for more power

triplebeam - I haven't run my RMS setup through the 1/4 mile, but my Dinan one got a 13.3 (it was my first drag event and the clutch started slipping after the second run!).

FabM3 - The RMS kit is the best value and highest output of all the S/C kits I know of mainly because their large aftercooler allows more boost. I would recommend this system but advise you get a good mechanic as things CAN go wrong. If everything isn't done just right, the high boost can throw belts a lot, and require upgraded pulleys.

I can't think of how much it set me back, but be sure to factor in the initial S/C kit, an oil cooler (essential) a more powerful clutch (also essential) and larger injectors. Once that's all done, expect a genuine 330-350rwhp and a pretty consistent, reliable delivery.

Dude, when modding the engine, that is a very important stat. When building a track car, not necessarily, as handling is what matters, but when you're paying many a dime for an sc, then 0-60 matters.

I don't know my 0-60 but........1/4 is 13.2

m3sam · #12 (**permalink**) 12-23-2003, 04:46 PM

13.2 Is really good I think... Good Job Man!!

Thanks....12's next year

icemann633 · #14 (**permalink**) 12-23-2003, 08:43 PM

why is that...i think you could get 12s with a little practice....Have you dyno and what were ur 60ft times?

revo86 · #15 (**permalink**) 12-23-2003, 10:44 PM

the time isnt always the most important figure in the 1/4 its the mph you trap at...
