Better able to handle boost? Just a curiosity. Then again ESS did come out with an S/C kit for the N52, so FI isn't unknown to this engine. |
I know (welder), I was smokin' hot about it too. All custom set-up the way I liked it too.
Regarding the alloy block of the N52.....I've wondered too if this was ever a REAL concern for BMW's engineer's ? I've found nothing online about it. I seriously don't think it's a viable LARGE boost choice though...as in above 15lbs. Even built.
The block might be able to if it was girdled though.
Do you know if it was the N52 b30 or the earlier version that ESS SC'd ?
