Oh I'd be down to buy one in the future for sure

Jbs · 09-17-2010, 01:27 PM

I feel like O-cha knows the e85/6 platform better than any mere mortal.

You think you're funny, but what you don't know is I mused over the fact that there's mountains of room for a top mount. There's also room for a side exit exhaust out the front quarter panel without cutting any structure (though that wouldn't be a street thing).

I'm sorry you dislike that I'm a knowledgeable person, try to get over it.

Also you are completely misguided about where this is coming from. I have an HPF turbo car, that's why I know it wont simply bolt up to the z4, I also spoke at length with HPF about it and they are not interested in adapting it. The hardware could be adapted with some fabrication but the tuning remains the issue, as it always is with BMWs.

Z4-VILLA · 09-17-2010, 05:43 PM

so when will you provide us with a kit? everyone here would most likely shell it out....Id drop like 15-20k easy.

Just finished, I'll wait for your payment.

Z4-VILLA · 09-17-2010, 05:52 PM

seriously .

Z4-VILLA · 09-17-2010, 05:56 PM

if youre serious post pics ...it will take about 3 weeks to save that money so let me know.

O-cha · 09-17-2010, 06:17 PM

I can actually no longer tell if you're serious or joking, I commend you.

mfanatic325 · 09-17-2010, 06:20 PM

wtf, I'm so confused right now

He basically said my word was law in another thread, I thought he he was being antagonizing because some people trust my opinion and he didn't agree and was being sarcastic. I thought that's why he made this thread to be sarcastic like oh if you know everything then make us a turbo kit.

Now I'm just not sure anymore.

So if he was being sarcastic he did a really good job.

Diokaef · 09-17-2010, 08:00 PM

LOL,That is all I have to say

mfanatic325 · 09-17-2010, 09:21 PM

me too, I'm lol-ing pretty hard. All I know is, I'm really enjoying my car

Z4-VILLA · 09-17-2010, 10:10 PM

actually im just clearly saying if you can make a turbo kit I would politely submit my request for one. that is all. I am military and would like to dump my money earned from blasting insurgents in the face on a car that may help keep my adrenaline on the up and up.
that is all.
no sarcasm here what so ever... I actually repect your presence on the forum.

O-cha · 09-17-2010, 10:29 PM

Yea then I totally mistook your candor.

But no unfortunately it's not going to happen. Tuning is the preventative factor that requires a huge investment.

krnnerdboy · 09-17-2010, 11:10 PM

Hey O-cha,
I remember you were building a high hp e46 m3...what happened to it and why are you back in the z4m? I ask b/c I've been contemplating a hpf 2.5 m3. I don't want to invest so much to figure out the z4m was better...just want to hear your thoughts and reasoning

thanks

ZStig · 09-18-2010, 03:10 AM

can't ess tune it? eh?

I still have it and it's a rocket, but I love the Mcoupe. It's just so stiff and responsive, when I drive the M3 I feel like I'm sitting on the Mcoupes roof. If you have the money though the HPF kits are very nice. www.turbom3.com if you wana see some of the car.

Using the OEM ECU to tune for turbos isn't a very good option. There are far too many things that should be done that the OEM ECU cannot do.

Z4-VILLA · 09-19-2010, 11:17 AM

so bottom line is no turbo for the z4m?

krnnerdboy · 09-19-2010, 04:02 PM

O-cha,
would you install a sc again on the z4m or did you feel it was unbalanced? Perhaps I'll just build/buy e36 turbo and keep the z4m as is....

johanness · 09-19-2010, 09:32 PM

why would you want put a turbo on a Z4M an introduce lag to a vehicle that has almost instantaneous reaction to throttle input? Doesn't a SC seem to make more sense? Am I missing something?
