Does anyone run a supercharger?

[MacG183]

I was on the Downing Atlanta website looking for a supercharger and was wondering if any of you fellow Bimmer lovers run this setup on your e30's? If so, how does it function and how long did it take to install. In advance thanks for all your help.

Naturally aspirated = reliable!! <-----I strongly recommend not to use turbos or superchargers on e30's.

well, an e30 325is can handle a supercharger pretty well.
but definitely not an e30 m3.

Doesn't an S14 barely handle itself?

A damn picky motor.

if maintained, the s14 will last up to 200k miles.
the reason it doesn't handle boost well is because of the high compression.

Depending on where you get your motor, you can transplant an M50 M3 engine into your E30 for around the price of a super charger or a few thousand more.

Thanks for clearing that up.
