I thought a group buy was done through this site already. That is what some of the messages in the original thread said. Quote: | Originally Posted by cali-ti i may be looking around this time myself. perhaps if there's enough interest, we could get together a group buy then.
KOJag, of those 7 kits sold, were any to people on this site? i'd like to see some experiences with he kit posted here (or bimmerforums or wherever) before taking the plunge if possible. | __________________

lol all these horsepower ratings are great, 350hp is nice, but when you spin a bearing and have to replace your entire bottom half of the engine, the s50/s52 swap will look a lot less expensive. It's a miracle these cars last as long as they do, why cut their life in 1/2 or 1/4. __________________ BMW 318ti M Body Kit, Future M3 engine swap

ahh, i understand tho, there is something cool about keeping the m42/44 in there, and building from that, it's just hard to get low end torque out of a 4-banger, theres just not enough displacement. It'd be nice to have a 350hp m44 lol __________________ BMW 318ti M Body Kit, Future M3 engine swap

even at 3400$ for 200+ is cheaper than a S50 swap and lighter. | I am hoping that I can get one around the same time if we can get a group buy price maybe back down to $2000.

OK, I have let a good deal pass me by. If I can get in on a group buy for the KO supercharger @ $2000.00 or abouts, I'm ready to "BUY IT NOW"!  Quote: | Originally Posted by Viper3812 I am hoping that I can get one around the same time if we can get a group buy price maybe back down to $2000.

I haven't posted in awhile, but I think that $3100 is pretty high for that kit when you can get a DASC for about the same price. Plus the DASC is a proven kit. If you really wanted to you could produce a KO performance supercharger pretty easily for about 1/3 of the cost. How you might ask? Well look at the pictures and you wil see it is a Stock lower intake manifold that was modified by welding a plate on it to mount the supercharger. The supercharger that is used is a Very Common supercharger from a Nissian Frontier or Xtera. These superchargers can be picked up on ebay for $100-$400 depending if it is a new or used unit. Piping would be pretty straight forward and as for tuning NickG could probably tune everything pretty nicely for you. Also I am working on some custom superchargers not for sale but for my personal use if you would like to check out my website. I am just starting to build the site, so it is kind of a mess. http://mysite.verizon.net/resqkr1q/ | | | | | 09-23-2005, 09:37 PM | #116 | | Member Join Date: Jul 2005 Location: South Florida Posts: 32 |
We have one of our superchargers on ebay that ends in tomorow. Check it out , there is no reserve and you could end up taking home the supercharger system for your price instead of ours. here is the link , check it out. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMESE%3AIT | | | | | 09-23-2005, 10:30 PM | #117 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Saint Paul, MN Posts: 3,244 |
Quote: | This supercharger system retails for $3,499 . We are starting the Auction at $2,000 with no reserve | . Your auction says it's starting price is $2000 but the bids start at $2399.00. Can you clarify is your 200+HP claim at the crank or wheels? __________________
