Don't say search. I did. I found one very disappointing video on youtube of hks supercharger making around 300whp I believe.Another member on here hinted at 400whp but never presented any data. I see people putting kits together for sub $5k what else is involved, any issues? I assume everyone that has supercharged was disappointed otherwise we would see more from them. Anyone have any data or more info?

I just want 330whp+ for now until I upgrade to the E60 M5 in a year or so, it is hard coming from an RB turbo'd E92 335i to an automatic is350...

Well you bought the wrong car if you wanted to do performance mods. Should of gotten an isf instead and call it a day. Save your 5g for the M5.

put your flame suit on

The 350 engine is a gem and still very current. Very few cars are even able to match the torque number on the IS350 despite their larger displacement in Natuarlly aspirated form

Hmm, any one else smell troll...


Sir, if you wanted to supercharge or turbo your luxury car then you should have kept your 335i.

lol @ 335i

malaka1

The 335i went for a swim in the ocean so it is gone.. I got this car for a great deal, and as to why I need to keep it for a year I would rather not disclose. This IS350 has much nicer seats and interior than my 335i did. Maybe I just have too much grip with 275's in the back to have a lot of fun with it. I was just expecting it to be a little more exciting and I think if I could get that with $5k it would be nice. $5k wont buy much for the M5 maybe an exhaust. I am not trying to troll lol, just a big BMW fan really its hard to explain exactly why. Not trying to diss the IS in any way, although the looks are so so that is a pov thing though.

BTW how do you like the headers? I thought of doing that along with a full exhaust, 20whp gain...? Or noticeable at least..?

Better off doing an ISF swap, theres an engine on ebay for $6,500

malaka1

I doubt it would be that easy, lol.

All you can do is intake, headers, mid pipe, exhaust. Maybe around 30HP more. Good luck though.
