__________________________________________________ ________________

Hi everyone. Just putting this here to see if there's any interest on these forums.

I have finally got what I have so long been looking for, a good price on a supercharge kit.

After quite a lot of back and forth with Infinitas (G power) we came to an agreement on prices. Which I should add are utterly excellent.

What I have to offer is a Supercharger kit both the Z4M (475hp kit), and also the 3.0i (300hp kit)

G power supercharger kit for 3.0i = €2015/£1723/$2368

G power supercharger kit for Z4M = €3845/£3289/$4520

These prices include shipping to most countries!! The likes of countries in Asia may be more but for the likes of us in Europe and USA we're safe

.In terms of tax and duty

If you live in either the EU or Northern Ireland (me)
You will pay the standard German 19% VAT
Which works out to
3.0i = €2398/£2050
Z4M = €4575/£3914

If you live in England, Scotland or Wales
You will pay 2% import duty (if the government site isn't lying to me) Then 20% on top
Which works out to
3.0i = £2109
Z4M = £4026

Unfortunately for USA and other countries you will have to work out your own import duty as I couldn't be bothered

I sat and stared at these prices for a long time, I recalculated a couple of times as they were almost too hard to believe, but I am assured they are correct.

Now the condition. I was only able to get these prices on the basis of a group buy.
We need 10 people to take the Z4M kit to get that price.
And we need 15 people to take the 3.0i

Currently we are on
2 (possibly 3) person for Z4M kit
2 People for 3.0i kit.

Let me know here, or instagram (@lewisjennings2) or by email (lewisjennings1@gmail.com) if either take your fancy.
If there's interest I can also ask the question about the 2.5i etc and see if there are options for them!

Also to note, I'm not making any money off this it is purely because I want a cheap (but good) charger.

Just a bit of extra info,
The kits are designed to be DIY
Il add to this bit if I remember anything I'm missing

You may want to broaden your target audience and hit the Facebook Z4 forum. All flavors are on there and some have had questions regarding superchargers. It's an international forum so that may be beneficial to acquiring the numbers you need.

I have attached a pic for reference so you know the correct group. Good luck!

Hi deemo.

Not a bad thought. I've put it on a couple z4 owners forums already but might look for more!

We attended ZFest in Greenville a couple of weeks ago and don't recall seeing a single E85 or E86 with a supercharger but I could have missed it since there were 210 Z cars in attendance.

Perfect thanks for the pic!! I'll join and add the links

They're a perfect car for the kits. Only thing that always puts people off is the price. But hopefully this will solve it!

You should try and get a reference and feedback from Pokeybritches. He is the E85 Z4 forced induction guru as he has a G-Power supercharger on his M Roadster and I think an ESS supercharger on 3.0i.

He wrote an excellent post about both installations and the differences. It is probably the best real-world owner analysis about E85 superchargers I have read on the subject.

How do the G-Power kits compare to ESS and VF? 475 rated HP from a blown S54 seems a little on the low side

For this price theres nothing on the market. The equivalent ESS kit is about 2k more and doesn't have an Intercooler and has 455hp.

Another benefit of the g power is the power band. Power kicks in very fast and keeps pulling!
They also do a meth injection kit which is available. So that's my next upgrade lol 👌

Big update

G power now accepting all varients of m54.

Also now accepting e46 and e85 of both m54 and s54.

This has changed the price slightly but not by much. I will update post now to suit

He does rate them highly. If and when I get an M Roadster and wanted it to have more power I would probably only get a G-Power supercharger.

The non-M kit is good for decent power with hardware modifications. According to ASA, the maximum impeller speed specification has more to do with discharge temperature than structural limitations. I tuned a 3.0i up to about 400 hp in Switzerland, and the owner regularly enjoys high speed Autobahn runs with it. He's got about $1k-2k in additional hardware (plus tuning) and normally runs E85 for octane and water/meth for cooling.

G-Power installations can be tricky, and I have seen failures in cast pieces twice. Overall I still rate my M kit highly. G-Power is more like the S54, while Vortech-based kits are like LS engines. LS engines tend to make cheaper and more reliable power (though not always), but the S54 revving to 8k rpm has a certain wow factor to it.

These kits are a steal at these prices.

Thats very insightful! I wonder if I'll be able to get much more power out of the 475 kit after it arrives.

Were getting right up there in number so you mustnt be alone in that thought. Over halfway there now from what i believe
