Any of the V12 supercharger projects complete?

Give's me that warm fuzzy feeling!!

I'll ask what my tuner will say gfm..

By us it's no problem Noggie, at this moment, we choose these because it will give power also at the low range...
Cost a little bit of replacing the oil/hydrofessels, but than it fits....

Yeah, gives me at this point also a warm feeling, but hope that it will be hot when all started up.

Dick B,

sorry I have nothing technical to add, but just wanted to say I am in awe of your engine and the potential you are about to unleash.

Absolutely stunning work there

It should transform the car from lazy V12 to a torque monster!!!

If the air filters are open cones it will sound like mechanical music !

The car infront of you will hear one of those "get outta my way " engine sounds

If I can get the kit thet John is going to make for me in the car by mid summer, maybe we'll meet somewhere in Eurpe again.
I know I'd like to take it to the Autobahn an see what she can do.

Judging from other fourms, That will be the longest wait you ever had! Rumor is he's not willing to help anyone... Good luck.

Hi Marvin -

I just checked my in-box and didn't find any unanswered emails regarding my 850i Supercharger Kit.

Other than one email from you on January 7, 2008 - - which I replied to same day - - there are no other communique's from you.

Are you still using kratesrule@sbcglobal.net as your email address?

Where did you (or others) send your inquiries?

No problem Noggie, I know that that's not what you wrote.
I've the 395S Diff at this moment, it's the best thing I did till now and hopefully the chargers will do the work I hope they will do.
I don''t know if the 395S will be driveble, but I have also the orginal diff so, I can put those one under it(get's my second 8 the nice option).
We will test on 500 and 450 Bhp, I'll think we go for the 450.
There is a transmission factory who would make you a automatic gearbox that is garantee till 650 Bhp, no problem, the motor should not have serious problems with it.
When my gearbox wil blowup, I buy this gearbox.
Of course I would like to see you again(with the turbo would also be nice, can we see what the difference wil be).
When you feel up to it, look at our meeting at our website(http://www.clube31.nl), you are always welcome.

Yes, there will be openairfilters, are there others?

Thanks Tony, it costs till now so 100 hours work(and we are not finish yet) with 2-3 guys to get all at there place.
But, there will be a standarisation, I'm the guineapig, it should be a kit that he will sell with foto's a.s.o., all the component will be in the kit.
Now we must find all things out by ourselves, many thing have being replaced, a.s.o., so it should be for the second buyer perhaps do it in 40 hours 2 men.

This week we can't do anything till friday, work must also being done, but than we have a long weekend and we must be at the point that we can order the belts and make a first tryout next week.

I and a friend purchased a set of Manifolds under the impression some assistance would be provided before hand, After the purchase of the manifolds we couldn't get any help to complete the project, The only thing we got was we could use any Turbo's we wanted, That's our fault not yours, I was just sharing the experience.

Marvin -

Although it was my plan at one point to offer turbo manifolds to the 850 community, I ultimately decided - - for financial reasons - - not to do so. I believe this is well documented in many, if not all, of the English language E31 forums.

If you had purchased a set of manifolds from me (which you didn't - - because I never offered them), I certainly would not have advised you to use "any turbo's you wanted". The space constraints in the 8-Series engine compartment effectively limit the turbos that are suitable for a twin turbocharged M70/S70 application in the E31. Perhaps two or three turbos would work. The rest would either be physically too large or wouldn't flow enough air to feed the displacement of the engine.

Given the above - - and in light of the fact that whatever manifolds you purchased were purchased from someone other than me - - why on earth would you expect me to help you?

Do you somehow think that I owed you something?

Hello Guys,

I'll give you the last photo's from my project:

The car should be doing the first drive on saturday, but the poulie didn't centre correctly, so we have ordered a centerring, at Wednesday it should be there and we can probe it.
The following week we will put new custommade exhausts and a Csi-diffcooler, new Edc's on the car, than we go on the testbank to se what see really is made off.

I'll keep you posted, but want to let you know howfar we are....

Cheers

looks superb Dick

Thanks Wayne
