I hate driving around NA

[RAiMA]

Well a few weeks back my Vortech died in my E36 318ti compact. Getting another Vortech or repairing doesn't really seem feasable considering we're building our own blowers that spin up fast, and produce high boost.

Currently in the process of getting larger valves and springs for the M44. It's currently decompressed and has forged racing pistons in it. Driving around NA on a decompressed 1.9L engine really sucks

Anyways, the car will go in probably at the end of next month for the larger valves and springs. Looking at roughly 90-95rwkw/122-129rwhp NA and the new supercharger is installed, I'm estimating around 190-210rwkws/258-285rwhp from my baby. I had 165rwkw/224rwhp before the Vortech died.

Wish me luck

Sure

I just sold my other supercharged car, so I've got the money all lined up. I should have all the engine parts sent off, machined and installed in the car in 3-4 weeks. After that, I'm going to try line the supercharger straight up. Only problem is, there's too many projects happening, so it's going to take some time.

Yeah.. I know the feeling... Had to drive home from a road trip with a broken wastegate... only able to get up to 5psi.... had an S4 toying with me and I couldn't even put up a fair fight.

That's a bummer - what died Raima? - the sound when you drove up to the harbour bridge was impressive...

What are the specs for the s/c, and any idea on pricing relative to a vortech?
