P.S Supercharger was tempting but just bought the mrs a new BMW so that'll do for spending money for a while, house last month etc. everyone's turboing? i know of maybe 3 whos the others? n/a has its place but to make good power you cant beat forced induction more air equals more power reving an engine within a inch of its life to make 20-30 more horse power versus 7psi to gain 50% more power over stock well you decide Edited August 18, 2012 by crunchy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No name user 379 Report post Posted August 18, 2012 some people dont post everything on bimmersport and there rest arnt mind readers dollar for dollar you cant be some sort of hair dryer most comments Ive scene regarding "lets do n/a its better" are normally due to a bad experience or just lack of know how with forced induction. not being a big head here but my turbo set on a little mini just set and land speed record for the fastest 1000cc production car and worlds fastest mini making an easy 380hp now tell me how without a turbo you would do that? each to their own i guess but with motors i do making great power n/a cost 4 times more than forced Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neal 545 Report post Posted August 18, 2012 Hmmm , cats out of the bag on that mini now. With 250 + being advertised no wonder the little brick made it past 250 kmh. 380 hp, That beats all the UK guys ! And here am I aiming for 130hp using a 1275 block + ihi rbh5 + 5 port. Shows what an expert can achieve compared to a novice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shows what an expert can achieve compared to a novice To be honest you dont have to be an expert but unlike some around here listen and youll learn, things can be done with out a deep wallet just learn to think out side the square or as ive always said "just cause its a bmw who said you cant do it"..... That 380 was done on e85 and we ended up turning the power down most of the runs on the salt were done half throttle again just got to know what to do and when to do it. As per above if n/a is wheres its at then why is F1 going back to turbos and most classes around the planet are along with the new formula ford. To make power at 15000 plus rpm costs a ton more money than blowing some air up its butt you can make more power on less revs and better economy and lower emissions still think n/a is where its at? Tell F1 that and get back to me.......... Edited August 18, 2012 by crunchy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
