superchaging an e36 M44 318iS ?

[pete69zx]

Hi all,

This has probably been done to death before, but lets see...

Always toyed with the thought of supercharging the e36.

I know plenty will say, it's not worth it & get a proper car (e30).

Last time i looked i think there was an american firm that did the whole kit, but i forget their name now

I don't think much can be done with the ECU's for these cars as they are less tunable than an M42, right?

Regards,
Pete.

Downing Atlanta are the American company you're thinking about, they basically just fit an Eaton roots-type charger as fitted to various Mercs IIRC.

Downing atlanta kit used eaton m62 charger - is now discontinued though

Ant, how much are you asking for your kit? And what sort of power is it putting out?

A 328 sounds like a much better /cheaper way of getting 200 BHP

I like the car that i have already, its light & nimble.

Thats the curiosity i have about supercharging it

Pete.
