any one know if there is a twin screw s/c kit for a E36 325i? or will an M3 s/c kit work on a 325i. will i need different software, injectors if i go that route? ive looked but i cant seem to find anything. links are welcome. thanks

Why you don't look for other type of s/c , i think twin screw not as efficint as let me say Vortech.

Anyone have a Twin Screw S/C?

abood: funny, the numbers on the twin screws look pretty good by comparison.

i want the low end if a twin screw. rather than the high end of the centrifugal s/c. ive tried to ask stimpee but he never responded.

Franky's got a 318ti, he's getting the DASC. This doesn't fit the M50/M52 block on the 325.

Majority of the kits are Centrifugal. There are a few companies working on Eaton Type (twin Screws), but they are still very cost prohibitive.

NO Its not the DASC!

Hiop Supercharger Twinscrew Liquid-Intercooled Kit !!

after I do rods, pistons, rebuild head, port polish....... more It will be able to boost to 20PSI, if it can handle it?

so i just emailed aa about whether the twin screw kit for the m3 will fit my car (95 325i) would anyone here happen to know?

Woah!

Sorry I never responded. Not sure how you contacted me, but I don't recall getting it!

I originally developed the twin screw kit on my own 1993 325is. I can assure you that it is a DIRECT fit. I can also assure you that we have a tune for a 325 motor, since I drove it around like that for quite some time before selling the car and going to the M3.

My TSd 325 would walk an E36M3 like it was dead. Look for a thread from August of 2004 from ContinuingEd on the "other forum" about it.

The car was probably about on par with an E46M3 at WOT. The torque addition was sweet.

There should be no issue in selling the kit for a 325 application. Contact Active and talk to someone about it. We will just have to make sure that the latest and greatest software is available for the 2.5L kit. Have to dig it up out of the archives!!

Let me know if you have any more technical questions about it.

Steve

And you, my friend, are flat out wrong!

The twin screw compressor has equal or greater efficiency than a centrifugal compressor, and maintains that higher efficiency over a much broader range than any centrifugal compressor.

The ONLY downside of the twin screw is that it is more complex due to requiring a new intake manifold, etc, and therefore costs more to develop and produce.

That, and the additional torque makes it more likely that you will have to replace your tires often!!

EDIT: Also Twin Screw does NOT equal EATON. The EATON is a ROOTS BLOWER. The twin screw is a lysholm compressor, and is far more efficient. Some non-BMW aftermarket companies claim their kits are "twin screw" when they are actually Eaton based...

just got an email back from aa and they say it will fit no problem. :-) so my question is do i mod my car to hell and then get the s/c or get the s/c, the clutch, everything i need to get my car up to par with the s/c and just go sleeper????

nondescript · #14 (**permalink**) 04-05-2006, 04:38 PM

I'd do suspension, BRAKES then SC...

On that note; someone needs to sponsor me so I can get one of those on my car. Thanks in advance.
