[QUOTE="ALBundy, post: 152543, member: 15"] Both engines are suitable for forced induction, since there are knock sensors. Of course the M42 is the prime candidate with its stronger internals (forged crank, conrods), sodium coated valves, DOHC and etc. But then again, with the high compression ratio, its only safe to run low boost level ~~ 0.5-0.6 bar. Alternatively, if you have USD 3395 to splash, Downing Atlanta does make a supercharger kit for the 318 using similar Eaton compressor unit as those found in the Mercedes. More than 210hp at the cranks! [/QUOTE]
