If you have an E36 318, or E36/37 Z3 with a 1.8L or 1.9L engine, you've probably been dying for an affordable, killer upgrade for your underpowered BMW. Some of our own staff members own and love the Z3, but can sympathize with you from their own experience, when you get beat off the line by Honda Civics, with clear taillights, that cost half of the price of your car, and with the fact that you have the passing power of a nest of squirrels.

Help has arrived!

Through careful research, design, and testing, KO Performance has designed a BMW Z3 and 318 Superchager Kit capable of producing over 200+ HP in the car you already love to hate, but would love to love.

Our goals in development were to create a BMW Z3, and 318 supercharger kit that would provide a sizeable amount of horsepower gains, using safe boost levels, paying special attention to heat issues, while maintaining affordability and allowing for street, or track applications.

We are proud to say, we have met that goal. In addition, KO Performance is pleased to meet the specific needs of this market segment with the most competitively priced kit on the market.

More pics coming soon!
KO Performance designed the KO Z3 / 318 BMW Supercharger Kit to come complete with everything you need, all boxed together and ready to install.

The KO 318/Z3 BMW Supercharger Kit includes:

* Super reliable, effecient, and Powerful Eaton Roots Supercharger
* All mounting hardware
* 1 year warranty on parts
* Installation guide and phone tech support

This kit is similar to the Downing Atlanta kit for the same model BMWs, which we also carry.

That's the same one he was selling when I bought mine. Problem is he sends you a pile of sh!t instead.

Sorry my friend, but you are too new to the site to understand what he said. If you do a search for this supercharger about over a year ago you will find out what happend.

I guess I am Viper. Sh*t I'm still trying to learn everything here about the Ti. What to get and upgrade with. Its taking me some time to understand. But so far of the two weeks I've had the car, im pretty aware that the supercharger has the best rating and quality in hp output. But thats why i ask questions that probably sound dumb now. I need to catch up.

-1 for that KO guy Jp.....

Was this the thread?

John Paul @ KOPerformance isnt that bad of a guy, atleast with my $12 experience. I got an oil filter in a mangled box and I told him. The site asked me to file a claim for it instead of contacting KO. I did both, he sent out a replacement (FedEx Ground.. (the same method that destroyed the original)) and the FedEx claim came back unfinished because the shipper has to do the claim process, whoops? Anyways, he was sorry and I got my replacement, just took longer than I had hoped.

As for the SC, Marv17, the supercharger of all superchargers for the TI is the DASC. Now I'm going to go find the thread that has to do w/ this KO SC and read the horror story

From what little you can see in that picture the manifold looks much different. If they finally built a 4 liter kit that is up to par with their i6 kits it could be worthwhile.

What I'm saying is, the kit he shows in pictures doesn't exist. My thread shows pics of what they sent me. Only the DASC is real.

I second that and DASC is the best option available for the money.
