Has anyone supercharged or turbocharged their n/a?

Dlu69 · 11-25-2009, 02:05 AM

Was just curious, I'd like to, my 330 is to slow. Did a search on google and horse power freaks had talks on a kit for the 330, but havnt read anything solid since

and1bball919 · 11-25-2009, 02:47 AM

Dont bother get a 335i if ur going to spend the money on top of that .... there are so many complications that makes it not worth it but if money isnt an issue GO FOR IT

kei169 · 11-25-2009, 03:04 AM

Yeah...it's called a 335i. How can you say a 06 330i is slow. My car is fast enough for me. You have 255 hp. Unless you are living Fast and Furious everyday you're fine!

HPF kits are pretty dang expensive..the stage 3 e46 m3 kit cost around 35,000$. I would imagine it would be in that ball park to turbo charge your 330i. Not worth it imo.

Andrew@ET · 11-25-2009, 08:19 AM

Nope best bet would be a 335 and a jb3 as others said.

lonestar22 · 11-25-2009, 11:37 AM

and now the OP sees why there isnt an aftermarket for this car.

its not that hard to custom turbo...

you just need someone to rip out your ECU or just switch it off, and get a standalone ECU reprogrammed. I have been talking to a few tuning shops in my local area and its not much different from turboing a S2K or something like that.

as long as its a standalone ECU ment for the turbo set up its fine. A engine is a engine without a ECU...

Glieu06 · 11-26-2009, 01:54 PM

you can swap the head off the n55 motor

i know the n55 motor base off the n52

and the n54 motor base off the m54 330 motor

it a try don't know if it will work

Mr&Mrs323i · 11-26-2009, 04:03 PM

IMO I'd stay away from aftermarket supercharger kits.
A number of years ago I supercharged my stock 190hp '98 Maxima with a Vortech kit boosting it to about 230hp. Although it was fun to drive around it put me on a steep mechanical learning curve because of so many belt skipping/slipping and alignment problems. If I'd had the chance to do it again, I'd save my money and buy a stock car with the power already built in.

Glieu06 · 11-27-2009, 09:30 PM

i think any one can turbo our cars
but it just that we need a tuner for it

shift330 · 11-27-2009, 10:22 PM

Forget the turbo, might as well go all out and swap in an LS2 from a GTO

That would give you a nice little boost.....
