Supercharger kit available? M5x engine
Greenday694 replied to Isaac1234's topic in Forced Induction & Performance Tuning
Is this Facebook for kids? Or a BMW forum, for people to learn about cars? I guess haters will always hate. Absolutely nothing wrong with using an apartment address for your business headquarters. I use one of my rental properties. I'm not going to give anybody my real address. But I do own this property as well. As for those Dyno sheets that most people have. They mean absolutely nothing in the real world. A dyno is good for setting up ignition ,fuel, vvt, and a few other things. Many times I've had to pull power from the top end just to smooth out the mid-range transition. So the car ended up making less Peak power but produce much faster lap times. This is why I choose superchargers over turbos. You are not going to break boost into a tight turn from a high-speed just so you can have power on the exit. I guess this is why the Hyde Motor Works Supercharger kits are selling so well. When I first met Hyde, I was running an M90 from the Thunderbird SC, on my 93 325is. 9 PSI, 12 PSI once I sent the rotors out to be coated. He told me about his sc-14 project, and other projects He had in mind. Honestly I did not think there was a market for something like this. I thought I was the only one that like to stand out and do something completely different from everybody else. All my buddies run modified coyote Mustangs and LS Camaros. And told me to swap in an LS instead of playing around with that little BMW engine. I'm not going to say that I can beat every one of them, but I can hurt some feelings. That's all Hyde and me are offering, an option to do something different. At an extremely reasonable price. Yes you can buy a cheap turbo kit off of eBay. Then spend three times or more making it work right. Then have to replace cheap Turbo with an expensive one. Because the cheap one spit out a seal and spun a bearing. All these attacks on his character based on hearsay don't belong on this forum. For that , this will be my last post here. Go well, be safe, Godspeed. -

Sorry I'm late to the party. I'm Keith of KC design concept - Hyde Motor Works. Nobody's saying that superchargers are the best option for everybody. But they are an option. All of the Hyde Motorworks Supercharger kits have been proven thousands of times over. Adding to that, the superchargers that have failed were used units that most likely had extremely high mileage and or were not properly maintained. The sc14 in question, has proven itself in the American Endurance Championship Series. In many cases involved a 24 hour race. With zero failure, running 9 PSI on a m52b28. But once again this was with proper maintenance, on a strictly track prepped race car. Now if you are just looking to add a little more power to your street car, without modifying everything else , the sc14 would be ideal. You can literally bolt it on and tune it in a weekend. But once again this is offered as an option, to build something different, do something different. Personally I prefer 600 + horsepower.
