Z4M ESS Supercharger Group Interest

ryanchua · 03-15-2010, 12:16 AM

Just to kick things along since the ESS SC kit is soon on it's way.... who's interested in the upcoming stage1/2 superchargers? Please list your names down. We can have a little SC'd Z4M community within Zpost

If this thread is all too new for you, you can read up on ESS and their works here.

In addition to the SC Kit, it might be useful to have a few "must-haves" like boost gauges, sensors, clutch/drivetrain upgrades. If anyone has a standard list to share, it would be great to start now so we can consolidate the information.

For example on HPF M3s, the following come recommended (http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/part...s/E46_M3/11037)
HPF Feramic Clutch (required)

Boost Gauges - http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/prod...rbo_Gauges.asp

New BMW Ignition Coils etc.

Of course, hint Rom3n, better prices please!

Man, you guys got a great list going.

Are there ideas on a price? I'd love heavily mod the Mcoupe, but have too many other car projects going on.

Last I heard, the Stage I is going to be 5 to 6k, Stage II 7 to 8k. Difference between the two is about 75WHP, and the Stage II requires intercooling, where the Stage I does not.

Hey guys

I can do a group buy on the VT1-445 now if you want and another for the VT2-500 when it is released. If we can get at least 5 people for the VT1-445 I will do a group buy for $5,995 + shipping.

We had the VT1-445 at Mfest and had a chance to track it this past weekend. The car performed great on all the runs.

Here is a quick pic of the kit.
