Will HPF ever build a turbo kit for our cars???

UNNATRAL · 01-20-2011, 11:09 PM

self explanatory..

UA · 01-20-2011, 11:27 PM

I'm sure they will. With the great success they've had with the E46 M3 kit, I bet it's only a matter of time.

brandonwuwux3 · 01-20-2011, 11:27 PM

didnt they cancel their plans to make one?

I spoke with them before I orderd my ess and they said they abandoned it because they couldnt fit it. I donno, I would like to see it though I guess

ooowowizstev · 01-20-2011, 11:44 PM

^I spoke with them before as well and they told me the same thing.

E90///M3` · 01-20-2011, 11:58 PM

yeah when i e-mailed them before they said there were no plans... so i doubt it.

I'm sure there's someone out there with the money, time and know-how that is going to try it... i hope.

That's an interesting thread. There seems to be a concensus that the M division has lost his way by introducing turbo engines in their lineup and yet people are clamoring for turbo kits.

Maybe the dislike of turbo engines in M cars is not as widespread as this forum would let you believe.

JonnyM3 · 01-21-2011, 12:06 AM

Hey if the new M is capable of being a turbocharged V6/V8 and redlining at 8300 RPM I'm all for it... Too bad it won't, and that is why I am not fond of the idea.

Isnt' the S65 aluminum while the S54 was iron?

Correct. HPF wouldn't be able to push the S65 as far as they did with the S54 but still would probably make good power and be reliable if they were to do it. But from the sounds of it, seems that they will not be making a turbo kit for the S65.

I never ever take any of those complains against FI M cars seriously. I am a firm believer in technological advancement and have no doubt that the brilliant engineers in M division would be capable of innovating their way to exciting FI engines for future M cars. People really need to keep their faith and not get overly pessimistic.

Mookster · 01-21-2011, 09:53 AM

S65's block isn't capable....

UNNATRAL · 01-21-2011, 10:34 AM

+1. For the right price anything can be done...I'm sure if IND was paid that much they would do it, I know Ilia is a turbo guy himself.

Andrew@LutzPerformance · 01-21-2011, 10:59 AM

Without doing a built motor, I think anything over 10psi, you'll find issues with stock motor internals.

Now as far as space, yes its extremely tight, but if someone has the budget, anything can be done!

FStop7 · 01-21-2011, 11:10 AM

From what I understand engine management is just as much an issue as packaging.

I'm sure this is true. It's taken 335i guys at least 4-5 years to get a single turbo conversion cooking. I spoke with HPF when I bought my car and they said there's no room for the turbos. There's always a chance for a rear mounted turbo I would think. Will a turbo kit eventually be out, yup. Will it put a dent in your wallet, definitely..

Eugene-TAIWAN · 01-21-2011, 09:21 PM

It's been talked about on another forum and the answer is no they won't build a turbo m3

taylors335 · 01-21-2011, 10:42 PM

its called sts i bet the squires turbo setup would work !!

OMFS27 · 01-21-2011, 10:46 PM

From the E46 forums, they are claiming to be working on 335i twin turbo to single turbo conversion....should be interesting

Squires is garbage I had it on my jeep srt8 and I had a world of problems with it.

I was at their shop last week for a club meeting. They claim there is not enough room......No plans at all.
