Help with Supercharger (Im a n00bie...)

[02BMW330ci]

Hey guys, i just recently bought a used 2002 330Ci (Feb. 2004) i bought it with 30K miles on it and now i have about 50K.. well i have alot of money saved up for mods and stuff. I just did my stero system subs the whole deal. Well now i am looking into supercharging...

Whats the most Efficient kit i can get, that will give me max HP with out doing any internal work on the motor and how easy is it to get a 330Ci supercharged. What mods will i need? Do i need to do any transmission work? and who can install it for me that wont mess up my car? I live in Mercer County in New Jersey.

Thanks for the help

Go with the ASA kit, search the rennsport forums http://www.rennsport.com/forums/ for more info on the kit. I was told to use my stock clutch, and see how it holds (hopefully it will). You don't need any internal engine mods for this kit, and it puts out the most power. The AA kit is also pretty good. Search is your friend...

if you are new at this then i certainly would not recommed you even try the install, the manuals that come with the kit can only be understood by someone experienced with supercharger installs. First of you need to find a reliable installer in your area or else if you are any where close to rennsport let them do the install for you. I would recommend the ASA kit as it probably is the most popular kit on this forum. It out puts the most amount of power (dyno proven by some of the fanatics on this forum), also it has been hand picked by Alpina and most of the big german tuners have started using this very kit (ie G-power, Hamann, Kellners just to name afew). Currently the kit does not come with any software, it comes with the ASA-tronic(its a very easy to install device, by use of this you dont have to taking out your ECU and shipping to the tuner inorder for them to flash it for you). Lastly there are fanatics on this forum who taken the ASA kit on track events where temps might have been as high as 110F and the kit still performed flawlessly, you can do a search on www.rennsport.com/forums you will see what i mean :)
