This is something down the line for my '87 325is... many of you already know what I'm about to address I'm sure. I don't want a turbo. I want a supercharger. There are a few of these rare sort out there, the one's that go against the grain... and quite honestly, I'm in love wit the rarity, perks, and potential for a supercharged M20. However, it seems there are a lack of kits due to the lack of popularity over the turbo, but still... I know I'll have to compile a custom kit. But hey, getting help with this is what I'm here for right?
Here's a list of the components I think I'll need and questions associated with each if there are any...
-The blower- I'm looking at Vortech mainly, though a Rotrex would do the job nicely as well... opinions on models of blowers?
-Miller MAF conversion- Not really much to add to that...
-Blow-off Valve- Turbo guys I know you know of good brands, help me? lol
-Obviously, custom mounts and charge piping
-Crank Pulley- this is a tricky part... this will likely need to be custom fabricated as well. Schneller had these when they made their kits several years ago, though the guy on the phone said he didn't think there were any left since they stopped making the kit... recommendations? Maybe there's something off another car that came factory supercharged? Like a GM vehicle? As satanic as that sounds...
-Intercooler- again turbo guys, I know you know, lol
-Injectors- Okay, this is another tricky beaver... I've got absolutely zero clue whatsoever on this one... help...
-The ECU tune- the big kahuna. The pink elephant in the corner. This is going to be a requirement. By this point I plan to have the car cammed and have a header and such to really support the FI, so to tie everything in and make the car run correctly, this is a MUST. So, I need a dyno and someone good with doing ECU modifications and remaps. Again, recommendations are begged for, though I understand the opportunities are limited due to location
Sorry in advance for a long post. I might be forgetting some stuff, just bring it to note in your posts. Thanks in advance for the help, I know this probably isn't really conventional, but just help where you can, if you will.
