superchargers and throttle bodies/CAI??

[James330I]

so would getting a supercharger mean that I have to get rid of my Dinan CAI and TB?

Rey from AA said i would have to get rid of them..it it because of comptability issues, or does a supercharger replace those said items? I'm not overall too familiar with all the parts of a SC.

Thanks!

*edited..dammit wrong forum..mods, please move to F/I forum...TIA

dunno about the TB but I do know that you'll have to get rid of the CAI. superchargers have their own air intakes, so you don't need the CAI. plus, the blower goes where your CAI is currently installed, you can't have both in there.

Obviously the CAI goes away.
I was told by Rennsport that my Dinan TB could stay if I installed their ASA SK1 or 2 supercharger kit.

I still have my Dinan TB running with ESS S/C and some other performance mods.

Aside from the kit, any other fun things to be added...
clutch, gauges (oil temp, boost, etc...)

Are headers a good idea? If so, which ones for a 330i?

I also installed SS header and SS mid-pipe with racing cat. in my car as well. I have them running with my S/C for 6-7 month now, and so far i don't have any problem and check light yet. Recently just installed SCHRICK cam into the engine, I hope everything can still be fine.

I am going to install oil cooler to keep the temp nice and stable sometime very soon.

yep, i talked to AA and they said the Dinan TB cannot be used as it has a different air flow rate than stock (obviously) which would throw off their software and eventually have unpredicted performance with their S/C

[greg330i]

Here's the uneducated talking...
I would assume the Dinan TB allows MORE air flow, an a very minor tweak to the softwatre could compensate for that, resulting in even more power.

acsc30, is your car manual or auto? are you planning to change to ASA kit?
