Last time I drove it, she had an M20. Now has a supercharged S52. Grin from ear to ear.

looks really clean.

Thanks! Bimmersport in Mississauga, Ontario did the work. I was presently surprised to see how nicely they detailed the engine bay. They seem to take pride in their work. I couldn't be happier.

You must be a modest man, posting pics before the obligitory HP/TQ numbers!:D

Feel free to do so now...

I have thought about doing this myself. Did you do any engine upgrading inside to handle the new power?

[mancini_mark]

Ahh. That's because I haven't dynoed it yet. It's a stage 2 9psi charger. Engine is stock inside, but has OBD1 conversion 3.5" Euro HFM & ceramic coated headers. Active Autowerke did the programming. My butt-dyno says well over 300 horse.

$900 for the used supercharger. $2500 for the engine, $4400 for tranny, clutch, electric fan, race cats, and labour, which also included the install of 840 4-pot brembos up front, M5 rear calipers new rotors & pads & stoptech lines.

Sounds like a hell of a deal to me. I'd love to get a used SC for $900.

[mancini_mark]

Exactly. I bought that first since I couldn't pass it up. That's how this craziness got started.
