i've been looking at superchargers and intercoolers and came across these - (see link) - anyone had any experience of them or know the spec. interestingly, hamann are the only big "commercial" tuner that i could find that offer a 270 bhp+ conversion. not sure what pulley they use. not sure if bmw approve their conversionsit the same way they do ac cshnitzer and jcw.
presumably their cylinder head & map & exhaust set up isn't going to be that different from anyone else, so i'm guessing it's their in house motorsport supercharger/water cooled intercooler set up that makes the most difference? if they're supercharger is a straight swap for the standard one, that could be interesting...i've emailed autovogue - the UK based distributors for more info...anyone here had the 270bhp conversion/know about the hamann setup?

When you find out the cost you will realise why no body on the face of the planet has one of these kits!!!!

I enquired about the kits last year...

The basic kit = ECU reprogramming, Modified supercharger transmission-ratio and Water-cooled intercooler = 4,260 Euro!!!!!

While the for the CS5 kit you are looking at 18,950 Euro

The intercooler does look good, just not over 4,000 Euro good!

JawF430 has a bargain then for 269 + bhp with just a RMW head, 1320 cam, 15% pulley, 440cc injectors, 4-1 manifold, GP IC, JCW airbox and ecu tune.

we all know that extra 1hp is worth 10k

Dont forget the 269 was on Surrey Rolling Road the same one that Snowie held the record of 260 on, though Jaw is using a stock cat back but there both using GP IC and JCW airboxes.

When we say his Mini looks like a bone stock S, that is an understatement

It is good to see that someone last Saturday took my crown away - I thought more people would have done so as there were some really big hitters present. I am still waiting patiently to see the whole results from the day, 30 to 70 included.

It is also good to see that a car modded by the owner is the top one - tuner owned cars have some catching up to do - both in RR figures and 30 to 70 - PAUL

You're right there Snowie, but it would be boring if we were faster and made more than anyone else all the time

I just dont seem to find the time to do anything to old red anymore, it was a last minute thing to get done for Surrey as we seem to have a lot less free time as of late, unfortunatley or fortunatley its only going to get worse

We needed you there Snowie thats for sure and you were missed.

But its great fun driving red in these conditions 0-70 is sloooooooooooooooow

Defiantly the greatest success is when you have built it all yourself and a big congrats to him.

And to travel down south from the other side off Liverpool, he must live near GTT280.

Total bargain as my £££ bill comes in a lot less than a "210BHP"JCW kit

I did try and get some figures but I was having low GPS signal where I was doing the testing, I only managed to do a 30-70 of 4.6sec though and a 50-70 of I think 2.6sec should be able to improve them times a bit IMO
