Harrop TVS1740 Supercharger

MF81 · 09-08-2015, 09:32 PM

Hi all, Im in the middle of purchasing a secondhand charger for my car, I was looking for opinions of drivability once installed. Take into consideration I drive my car like a girl and it very rarely leaves the city.

American Dave · 09-09-2015, 12:42 AM

why charge it then ?

m3toboot · 09-09-2015, 01:37 AM

why would you need a supercharger if its not been used?

Rocket_Rod · 09-09-2015, 02:08 AM

Get Davee to record his car's S/C whine and play it though your stereo on loop.

MF81 · 09-09-2015, 02:09 AM

I still want the sound and able to take people at the lights if need be.

American Dave · 09-09-2015, 02:15 AM

bahahahahahahaha love the honesty love it

Joe S · 09-09-2015, 03:41 AM

Get it!! You'll love it!!

You don't need to be a race track driver to be allowed to have a charger.

"Last of the V8 Interceptors".... How appropriate for the E9X M3.

I have to sort of agree. I see a lot of guys buy cars engineered for a purpose and they don't take advantage of that. And then they go and spend more money and still don't take advantage.

If you want power, there are plenty of cars that out muscle ours in a straight line. C63 is one of those.

You need to ask yourself why did you buy an M3. I hope the answer wasn't to look cool while driving to the park to take photo's of the car standing still.

Interesting debate Rod, I think though the cars are at an age now where it's not out of the question to mod them and there are very few cars that look as good or are as well balanced. I've had mine 5 years plus now and still love it, but find there's no real replacement for it. The C63 Merc is a good example, great power but... well sorry guys... a bit like the family sedan and the new one even worse, although the new C63 coupe looks nice

But for the money there's nothing else around as good and if you come from a big block V8 and a commodore just won't do or a new Merc is too expensive or looks too much like your grandma might drive the E9x is a great weapon of choice but certainly lacks in the power stakes.

Having driven a SC car now for 2 years plus I have to say it becomes the norm and the extra gains seem totally natural.

What's embarrassing though is the soon to be released Audi RS3 or the Merc A45 will blow any of us away at the lights Fitting the SC is like replacing the motor with a 6 litre motor only much sweeter

I've shared the track with cars that blow me away at the lights, and I chewed them up on the track. The ability of the driver to mash his/her foot to the floor at a set of traffic lights is not a contest I'm particularly interested in winning. I prefer to carry 180k through turn 1 at Sydney Motorsport Park and appreciate just how balanced our car is.... That there is what brings a smile to the face!

M3V8AUS · 09-11-2015, 02:38 AM

I certainly miss my harrop M3. I still lurk about the forums. The sound the and low end torque is amazing. You know you want it.

You can do other mods to balance the car enough suspension work and you can blow a gt3 away

Agreed.
That said, the best mod to any car is tuning the nut attached to the steering wheel.

Driver training and experience is worth alot more than any other mod on the market.
