View Full Version : alpina's patented radial supercharger 88bimmer 02-13-2007, 10:24 AM "radial" supercharger or also known as Nautilus-type compressor might be a repost but interesting info http://www.fastsaloons.com/newsstory.php?reviewField=2567&type=9 http://autos.aol.com/article/power/v2/_a/ruf-rk-coupe/20061030190309990001 DU09 02-13-2007, 11:32 AM I think the G-Lader used on the old corrado g60s was similar to this type of charger. Except the g-lader loved exploding..... TommyX® 02-13-2007, 06:09 PM FYI: The Alpina B7 has hit the US showrooms @ an entry fee of 115k. A sweet ride for whoever can afford it. eurotekm3 02-13-2007, 06:32 PM I thought Allpina used a ASA blower ? e36'n 02-13-2007, 08:16 PM I think the G-Lader used on the old corrado g60s was similar to this type of charger. Except the g-lader loved exploding..... Exploding or losing seals because the grooves that held them in would always break off. I still don't understand why they used magnesium. I had one and absolutely loved it, when it was working. Instant boost too. |
