Stock HP

[Judge5k]

Hey can someone tell me what the stock Engine HP is for a 1993BMW 325iS, and then what the HP will be once you add a Turbo or a Supercharger.???

189 stock wtih a supercharger and 6-7lbs of boost maybe you'll see 230 hp.

230hp ??? thats it ??? i've read that if you add a supercharger to it... its gonna give a safely 56% Increase to the Stock HP..??? which would be around 260-270 ??or could i be wrong ?

[Kevin325i]

Stock internals won't hold that much power very long. Most kits are about 6 or 7 lbs boost so you use stock internals. With a built engine and 20 lbs of boost you can see 400 hp.

ERRR, my bad 255 hp and 236 ft lbs of torque, I'm tired cut me some slack.

don't even bother spending 5 grand on a supercharger... get some nitrous... and spray the crap outta the motor...

Good idea! Then you can spend 8k on a new motor when you blow it in a few weeks!

screw the supercharger, nobody makes a decent one. I've always said this. When Downing Atlanta makes a 6 cyl S/C, then there will be a good one. Until then, you're screwed.
