    What type of supercharger? Propane heat injector to obtain 1000°C?

    Look up Frank Smith / ttfs... Better yet

    Hypothetically he could have ambient temps in the cylinder that were above 1000ºc for a very short period of time. RIP engine tho.

    Why is that so hard to believe? If that's an exhaust temperature, 1000C is only 1832F... way too hot and will burn the exhaust valves, of course, but certainly possible.

    I've routinely seen 1600F without melting anything on my E23 745i turbo at 15 psi boost. But I didn't hold it there for long. (Also because there was no place to go that fast)...

    My EGT hits 1250 F or so. 12 psi boost with meth. If he severely leaned this engine out, the higher Temps are possible.

    Your suggestion?

    - - - Updated - - -

    I need your suggestions. I have installed pulley 3.15 with 6pk 1468 belt.
    1. Who knows what is the boost I have?
    2. Now I am replacing my engine and going to decries my compression in engine. By defoult it is 10.5:1 I guess now decreasing to 9.5:1. Will that help me?
    3. Look at my pistons, looks like oil was not delivered sufficient or was too hot when it reach piston #7&8 and become evaporated. Should I install oil cooler and performance pump for oil?

    Thanks in advance.

    There is a "Forced Induction" forum here. Also, there is a "tuning" forum. You might have better luck talking to those guys.

    Get an AFR and Boost gauge and get a proper tune. Without a proper tune your just going to keep ruining engines. Did you actually think you could run the SC without a proper tune? SMH.

    Even a DIY driving around the block tune on pirated software is better than no tune.

    I tried to ess but they said that they working only with their costumers.
    Today my engine was repaired and decreased compression for 9.5:1. Hope it will help more.
    I am interecting on water methanol as well. Which one is best one?
    Which afr manifacture is best one. I have read about PLX 4gen. Your opinion?

    +1 That's what I ment

    Are you running the correct size injectors. You should be running about a 42lb injector, Or you risk predetonation and engine damage.

    I am thinking about AFR but how many should I install? 1 set on one site or 2 set on each site on exhaust headers?

    DUDMD here on bimmerforums might be able to help also.

    Try fixing your supercharger problems before going meth and water injection.
    Or,
    Buy an M5 and stop dealing with stuff like this.

    Who told you that you could use a supercharger without a tune?! Slap that person, hard.

    450 CC, it came with kit itself.
    Also, as I mentioned above I decreased engine compression by putting additional seal between headers and engine block. Before it was 10.5:1 now it is 9.5:1. What do you think will that help me against detonation (force induction)?
