318is M52 Vortech Supercharged

You should talk to my buddy at speedfactory, He could tig up something wild. Also he could cut back the supercharger neck and rework that as well. You will have to take me for a ride when its done!

Another wild idea would be spinning that thing around and mounting it on the passenger side then have the outlet go to an intercooler then the intake.

If so would be awesome as well.

There is a crazy amount of welding in that.......

[Farbin Kaiber]

Here is an even tighter one. The pie cut method can get some super tight radii.

Did you make that? Props on the welding if you did!

[Farbin Kaiber]

No, I googled it.

I LOVE tig welding, can't wait to get to that part of my build.

Keep up the great work OP, the carbon work was inspiring, might steal that for parts of my build!

Exactly, That is what he specializes in.

I should be good for the intakes but do need to modify my radiator neck. I would use my friends tig welder but he is gone for a month, how much do you think he would charge just to weld a new 90* bend neck on.

your carbon pipe looks pretty good 10toes. keep it up!

A few pics of the supercharger bolted up, right now I'm just waiting for more parts.

Have to modify the radiator a little, I new it would be tight with the Z3 s54 radiator. I will probably use a different bolt and washer for the supercharger pulley that will give me a little more room.


Belt layout, this is with the old belt it's not around the crank. I used some sting to get an approximate measurement and picked up a belt at the local auto parts store. The belt I got is a little long (6pk2237) so I will be exchanging it for a shorter belt.
