z4 2.5 sc

mkivbora · 11-27-2009, 11:03 PM

started a thread in another section, although im looking for some advice throughout forum.
so i am custom building a supercharger kit for my gf's 2.5l. I have been building vw's for years, 1000hp supras and recently a very healthy 600+hp c6 soon were going for 800+hp.

I have a fabricator that is helping me with the r&d of a supercharger bracket, the piping and front mount ,alc injection etc and have talked with a few friends that are known world wide for tuning the likes of aem,mega squirt , hptuners etc. im going to run either a standalone ems or a custom file on stock ems.

my only struggle at this point is im not a bmw guy i dont know much about the internals on the 2.5 and if its a standard head gasket or liquid sealed. money isnt really an object in this project. as im trying to see if internals how much where do i find them etc and if they are needed or if a stacking of a headgasket can be done . i have contacted ess and vf numerous times i just dont see why spending 7000 on a kit when it takes half that to buy parts and custom build it yourself as long as you get tuning done correctly.

current mods on vehicle include header back custom exhaust custom intake + ram air, ksport coilovers, 235fronts 255rears stock wheels. now remember girlfriends car. and she drives it like she stole it .. so she deserves a little more kick from her little z4

post this on the fi section over at e46fanatics.com. lots of knowledge over there. also how do you like the ksports?

i love them. they are way more adjustable for ride quality and performance than that of any suspension, i use h&r on my vw and i hate it. im switching to the ksports on it this month.

i highly recomend them and there quite inexpensive.

thanks. sounds like a fun project. I'm looking for parts for na 2.5 project. planning on using a 3.0 short block, headers, 264/248 cams, and a world challenge head. good luck and post pics of the car, would love to see the suspension set up.
