Procharged E36 M3

[Snaglefast]

I'm supercharging my 98' M3 with a C1 Procharger. I started building the Procharged setup with my 99' 328is but I had too many things going on at the time to finish it so I figured I'd start it up again since I have the time.
I will be leaving for Military Training so you won't see anything new for about 12 days or so.

nice!

images of gauges on?

[gnarfy]

whooaaahhh, I really like the gauge... I will do the same !

[FastrTHNu]

damn. nice work!

[nelzone]

Good idea for the guages! nice project!!!

Nice work but you are going to want to brace that better, a arm on top going to the cherry picker hook and hen a triangulation arm somewhere, I think you will be skipping belts alot if you dont.

Nice work. Love the gauges!

I will definitely brace it better when I get everything else finished.

I've allways tought, that a procharger would be the best idea to supercharge a bimmer!

Damn thats some nice work

[Snaglefast]

I'm back and am starting up again. I changed the bracket design a little so the belt wraps around the alternator pulley a little better.


I also built a brace for the bracket as well. It really stiffened the whole operation up.




And back in.. I can't even count how many times its been in and out of there.

[Propain73]

Nice to see that you're back from training.... how much boost are you aiming for?

Nice setup man

[busterhax]

Can't wait to see the finished product.

Great work! You should look into the M50 manifold upgrade as well it would compliment your setup nicely!

In the pic right before you start showing your work on the gauges I thought you were running your IC piping through the intake manifold I was like "wtf" lol

Aside from my idiocy, what do you plan on doing for tuning?

[Snaglefast]

Finishing up on the charge tubing and whatnot.

Taking measurements from stock maf housing.


Machining MAF flange.








Aluminum Honeycomb to give the best possible reading.






IAC Tube welded on.

Haha. Well, I was going to give this AEM FIC 8 a try. If it doesn't work out I'll go another route. I'm up for suggestions as far as that goes.

Nice fabrication skills.

You could try a Vortech tune from AA, TRM or TT, or a Rotrex/HKS tune from AA. Not many people have been successful or happy with piggybacks on these cars, but give it a try if you con't mind hacking a wiring harness (you can always buy another for $100). I am sure people would be interested in a DIY tuning option. Look into whether it would still pass inspection in states with ODB2 plug in.

Or, if you are interestd in a standalone, I have a Tec3r for sale!

[GazM3]

Project coming together well. Looks like your fabricating skills aren't to shabby either. I like the amount of room you seem to have considering you run an air/air intercooler.

[Snaglefast]

Here are some pictures of the charge tubing and how I plan to setup the air box..






During the process of making sure the charge tubing was clear i got my fingers sucked into the beast and lost the first knuckle on my ring finger and part of my pinky.



Not my finest moment..

One less finger nail to clip.

Wow, hope you have a swift recovery!
