yes, its possible but you \better upgrade everything else. suspension, brakes, wheels, tires....The one I saw hit the wall at road Atlanta b/c when the power came on, his little 215-40-17 tires couldn't handle the power and he plowed into the wall. oh and brought his BBK, rear EVO 3 wing.......

Ouch.

Supercharged E30 M3 would pretty bad ass though.

it fits. there's a purple e30 NON-m on r3vlimited with an m50 supercharged (i think it's an m50) and it is insane. check it out.

definitely possible but like s14realm3 said you better upgrade everything on the car. just with the s52 my car didnt like it too much when I would hit the gas. we'll see what happens with a lot of boost.

Why supercharge? Turbo is a little more common and you have more options, plus you aren't limiting yourself of power. Dollar to power ratio is better too. Talk to Mike McCoy aka: Techno550

He is very knowledgeable on the subject.

Once my S52 is buttoned up and my brakes, safety, grip is adequate, I may have him make me a custom set-up. :buttrock

Here is a vid of a E30 M3 with a twin turbo charged S50 blok (550bhp @ 1.2 bar).

If you put this together you get a link and you can download the movie (35.9mb).

I had the S50 supercharged in mine, it worked well. but i am switching to turbo. S/C are wimpy;)
IMO go straight to turbo, save time
