G-power SKII Supercharger Review (600+ hp result)

ZBMW · 05-06-2009, 04:18 PM

Great numbers and fabulous looking install!
It looks like the intercooler has lots of capacity but did you notice any overheating of the engine on extended runs?

Bad Ass.... This thing is insane!!!

leemik · 05-06-2009, 04:54 PM

what does the exhaust sound like now? My experience with superchargers is there is a change in pitch.. usually higher and not as throaty?

Awesome build by the way!

I don't know the official weight i'm gonna guess 60lbs. It doesn't affect it in anyway I can tell. The car weighs 3700lbs 60lbs isn't gonna throw it off too much.

My car sound ridiculously loud right now the blower makes it louder then usual with my Gintani exhaust.

I just came from driving around pretty aggressively its about 100 degrees outside and the needle went between to about 230 briefly. About the same as when I was at the track.

i suggest contacting John Batte to take pictures of the Jon's Black E90M3 & Josh's AW E93M3 together... both G-Power

I bet JJ would take some amazing pictures of them together... actually i think Josh recently spoke with JJ about it

I just don't like the orange supercharger and airflow covers. Aside that, your car is amazing.
