My supercharged Z4

bimmerlike · 06-23-2011, 01:17 AM

I must go crazy to do such mod!!!

My friend introduced ARMA to me, price sound a little bit.....

But for smooth delivery and giving my Z4 a punch, I think it’s worthy of considerable cost.

The speed is exactly what I’m look’in for~lol

Crispy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beedub · 06-23-2011, 05:14 AM

ZStig · 06-23-2011, 08:43 AM

^ pics are identical as OP posted... op's car is famous or op is a liar

Beedub · 06-24-2011, 02:13 AM

That has to be the strangest look s/c unit ive ever seen........ what brand is the s/C unit??

Still looks powerful in the clips!!!

dazed^ · 06-24-2011, 01:21 PM

Eyelids add 10 hp too.

ZStig · 06-24-2011, 01:35 PM

yeah, I don't see how people can find those eyelid things attractive.

embarrasingly, I am impressed with the BOV sound though

strange dip in power @ the last 500 rpm, a centri s/c should continue to make power, any ideas in why the power dip?? its actually abit of a strange graph, a centri s/c only makes MORE boost the higher it revs, so its really strange to see one tail off like well almost like a small turbo??? it seems boost is being bled off somehow to lower the strain @ redline???

more details pleeeaassseee!!!

SmartBastard · 06-27-2011, 10:00 AM

Hmm I though the engine wasn't strong enough for so much power...

perhaps why they taper the boost in the upper rpm range. typical to see the same thing on a conservative turbo car.

How do you do that on a set wheel the s/c s use???

nemex12 · 06-27-2011, 01:14 PM

I dont understand, is that your z4? I mean, did you install it already or are u just considering doing so? Ive been toying witht he idea of a supercharger but Id go with a more known company altough neither of the famous ones have tried to make a sc for the n52

Agreed. Even though the N/A engine peaks before redline, the CF setup should peak at redline.

ZStig · 06-27-2011, 02:49 PM

Doesn't the ess kit for the M also drop off a little before redline?

nope the graph rises right to the to 8000 rpm...... but look again at the graph posted, you have 380bhp @ 6000 and then 340bhp @ 6500??? makes no sense on a centri s/c, the whole idea is higher rev band power......

can i make a sneaky guess @ the poster being the company in question ;-)
