Awesome! Sorry, barely come on here anymore. Mostly on the bfc e34 fb group now. I ended up selling the s/c kit hahaha. Too tame for my liking. I have turbo dreams. Building a 540it wagon and planning on a 100hp zex Nitrous kit for now until i get the turbo bits sorted out.

Hi does anyone have a powerdyne bd11a supercharger bracket for the m60 engine and the crank pulley. Looking for these asap
I am getting a lot of blow-by/excessive pressure in a new to me '95 Dinan 5 (exhaust, SC, tune).
What shall I do?
Picked up my 95 540i Dinan sc, chip, etc, just joined here, checking in from Fort Worth, TX

Hey everyone,
Not a E34 but nobody has an SC on their E31 M60 so I figured I would post in here. Below are some pics of the Dinan SC kit.

Modification to the original intake tubing and filter. The filter is difficult to get to below the headlight unit. I don't think the filter or intake tube were checked much because re-installing and realigning the unit can be a giant PITA

I have not had any issues with the Powerdyne unit other than the internal belt squeaking occasionally on start up when its cold outside. The SC is most likely due to for a refurb. However, I am keen on swapping it over for a Vortech unit. I was curious if anyone knows if I can use a VF or ESS bracket and simply bolt the Vortech unit in? I have heard that the bracket will need modification, probably due to the accessory drives being in different spot on the E31.
Anyways, enjoy the pics. Comments welcome.

Would anyone with an m60 S/C bracket removed from the vehicle be able to trace an outline of it for me, with some measurements? I want to make a cardboard template and check fitment in my m62 e30, to see if it's even remotely possible to do it without hacking half the wheel well out.

I've considered swapping my BD11 for a V1 or V3 as well. But rather than trying to source a bracket (as no one seems to want to part out a kit), I was thinking about getting this:

But its hard to justify for me, considering a vortech unit will cost more than i paid for the entire powerdyne kit

Hey guys! Im in the midst of installing a dinan kit on my 540 here in the Bay Area and have some questions!
1. Anyone in the area that would be willing to check out their car so I can see how it all goes together?
2. Are the dinan injectors 32lb? Can I replace them with bosch 32lb for a mustang with the upgraded spray pattern?
3. It seems dinan might have made two different kits for these cars, one for and auto and one for a stick. One with a BOV and one without? I dont have a hose coming off my supercharger inlet like the picture does I posted. Is this a difference in the powerdyne blower model?
4. I am running a walbro 255 single pump in the tank, will that be enough??no bov.jpgwith a bov.jpg

2. The kit uses Lucas 32lb injectors. These in fact:

Pay attention to the flow rate at the specific pressure. That link doesnt seem to specify the pressure at which the flow rate is specified. May want to shoot them a message. So long as the the bosch injectors you plan to use are close/same, then i dont see why they wouldnt work, but dont take my word for it. I wouldnt be swapping them unless you are having issues. Even still, the tune it made for them, so at the most i would send them away for a cleaning and flow match.
4. yes, it will be plenty good.

The next few days are pretty exciting. Pretty well redesigning the ESS supercharger kit to rectify its faults and upgrade / improve it to produce more power and more consistency.
After no activity since October 2015 the e34 is about to come back to life. Pretty well everything needed some sort of fixing. The stuff I can remember;
- Crank angle sensor replaced
- All 8x Chinese coils replaced
- Bellmouths refined to manifold as 5 of them were floating around like tattslotto balls in the plenum cavity
- New gasket and correct sealing of intake manifold
- Fitting new starter motor with reinstalling missing heat shields
- Adjusting clutch pedal so height is same as brake
- Installing a new catch can with drain directly to sump
- Totally redesigning the supercharger bracket to bring the vortech closer to the engine
- Replacing the extremely poor intake duct and relocating the maf sensor to the pressurised side
- Adding a plumbed back blow off valve with a slave solenoid activated by a Hobbs adjustable (4-7psi) pressure switch. This will hold 4psi of boost in the system at light throttle.
- Removing the old pulley (locktited on!!) with slightly smaller dia for a small amount of extra boost
- Installing a 450x300 front mounted air/air intercooler (supposed to be impossible on e34) with redirected plumbing
- Delete traction control
- Redirect main intake for the engine to the passenger side
- Relocate power steering cooler to where kidney grilles are
- Drilled sump and tapped for 1/2"bsb for drain back from catch can
- Painted rocker covers wrinkle black.
- Adding the all important boost gauge and wideband sensor with air/fuel gauge
- Oil & filter change
- Adjusting oil pump chain and tigening loose bolts
- New fuel pump hoses
- New 3 spoke airbag steering wheel
I'm just tired thinking of it.
We may need an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and dfi maf fuel trimmer to get the fuel mapping perfect and omg the exhaust. Someone had built the front system nicely in 2 1/4 dual pipes with nice x pipe but after the centre muffler they have gone to a single 2 1/4 (visually I thought it was 3" but no" so I need to finish off in dual 2 1/4 as a single won't do much for the power output on a boosted 4ltr v8. The tail pipe is more suitable for my 2002!
These improvements will be orsome and with 4psi boosted all the time when it allows, part throttle will be great as well. Boost will probably end up around 6-7 psi. To go much more it will need a standalone ecu and a more serious fuel system. I already have 8x 60 lb/hr injectors on stand by.

Hey guys what is everyone running as an electric fan conversion? Cars running a stock dinan bd11a kit and stock radiator currently. Will be swapping to an e36 m3 I think.

Working on this for another member, will definitely be looking at doing a few other bits to go along with the PCV delete plates and the Provent 200 setup for you M60 guys.

Thats awesome man!! That was probably the hardest part to get my hands on when i built my setup. I ended up with one from Dinan for the m62. It wasnt easy to get. Lots of phone calls and emails back and forth. I recall it not being terribly expensive which was surprising. If you design a basic bracket that fits a vortech blower, you are in business. Problem being that you almost have to incorporate the passenger engine mount if you want to keep AC.

Have to admit I'm pretty excited about doing stuff for the M60, its a bit of a hot mess compared to the S38 but has great potential!
Was thinking about a couple bracket options for people, thinking vortech and maybe an ASA. Good to know about the AC issue, will definitely keep your advice in mind. Also been working on a intercooler that will be a bolt in along with an oil cooler. Lots of fun stuff in the pipe!

Awesome!
I want to S/C my m60b44 e30, but I know 75% of the e34 kit won't work. So having the option to buy just a bracket and pulley would be awesome! Preferably keeping the S/C as close as physically possible to the engine

It's only a few days away before a big 4000km round trip to the BMW nationals. Just getting into the tuning now. The oem maf runs out of resolution at about 4500 with no resistors. So armed with some resistors we will see at the point where the maf is ok and then tune the fuel for it with the DFA. We will need to use an adjustable fuel pressure regulator as the 36 lb/hr injectors will be to small at 3.5bar. Also had to "borrow" my bosch 044 pump from the m635 as the in tank warbro will be short at 500bhp or so.
It drives orsome to about 4500. Hope by the end of Sunday it drives orsome or 7000rpm
