    E30/S50 with Supercharger

    Is anyone running a supercharged S50 in their E30?

    I did the swap last year. The car is a street driven autocrosser that gets driven on the weekends.

    Which SC system (vendor)? Any fitment issues?

    Thanks

    We sold a VF-Engineering kit to a Canadian with an S50 on his e30. AFAIK he had no trouble installing it.

      Was it the E36 M3 kit or the MCoupe kit? I guess there is a difference in the intake route that might benefit an E30?

      Are there any pictures of the install available?

      Thanks

        E36 M3 kit. No pictures.... all I had was an e-mail way back in the day of the customer thanking us for the sale.

                    How do you extend the hfm wiring ? If there an extension cord per say out there ? Or do I have to cut and solder. FYI The set up above with the blue hoses is the used setup I bought and wil be installing soon .

                      Yeah just cut and extend. Then you can wrap it in electrical tape for a kinda OEM look
