Supercharged??

[wassuped]

I have a 01' Bmw 325i and I was wondering if I can install the supercharged turbo from the 01' Bmw M3. Has anyone have ever done it?

if your refering to the stock 01 m3 super turbo, then no it cant be done... you'd be better off finding some nos for your car

I made thread like a day ago about if it was possible to put a supercharged turbo of a M3 to a 325i. I am referring to an aftermarket part. You can find the part at Active Autowerke - BMW Performance, M3 Performance Tuner, BMW Supercharger, BMW Turbo, BMW M3 Turbo, BMW M3 Supercharger. Has anyone done it before?

did you see the price tag on that thing dude, almost 10k, i think you would be much better of selling your can and juts buy a 2004ish m3

It's not a supercharged turbo. It's a supercharger that has similar build and performance characteristics to a turbo. Difference between the two are a supercharger is powered off of the crank of an engine (usually) and a turbo is always powered off of the exhaust of an engine. The simple answer to this question is the kit more than likely not be retrofitted as it is for the E46's S54 engine. The charge cooler will not fit onto a M54 or really work as the M54 has one throttle body in comparison to the 6 ITB's on the M54. Other major difference is the throttle body is at the bottom of the M54 inlet runners and the S54's ITB's are located after the intake runners. Despite other major differences I don't see the kit working on an M54 without major modifications. Besides Active Autowerke has a system that costs way less than the system for the M3.

Umm....

Salty, could you fill us in on what exactly the "stock 01 m3 super turbo" is? I was unaware that there has ever been a turbo M3 stock.

What I really mean to say is the charge cooler won't work on the M54 because the S54 has 6 ITB's in comparison to the M54's single throttle body. I made a serious typo there.
