Centrifugal BMW Supercharger Kit - Project Harbinger

The Harbinger is our first centrifugal supercharger project, it will use our own centrifugal supercharger. Directed as an affordable higher mid range option for enthusiasts.
Currently in prototype phases, the kits will be made first for the 6 Cylinder & later on also 8 Cylinder BMW Engines.

where in nj are you located? Is this the same head unit from speedmaster?

[@Ramzjerknsk8]

Is this Gilmore pulley drive held on by a nut? Thinking about purchasing this but I'd need to replace the pulley with a 6 rib

[@HydeMotorWorks]

Direct Drive, No gears inside, made by Speedmaster. You cant put a 6RIB and still use it, because a 6RIB that is going to be this small, will likely slip. You can purchase a custom made Machine drive pulley we make with custom belts for this if you want.

What will be the price of the supercharger only? Do you plan on developing kits for the 4cylinder n42/n45/n46 engines from e46, e90 and e87?

[@HydeMotorWorks]

This project is now complete and will enter production soon. Kindly just email us and we can go into details. We will be doing this for the N42 and other engines.

wondering will this work with my m52 with a m50 manifold? and what kind of power can we expect??

[@HydeMotorWorks]

Yes it will work, its designed for the M50, M52, M54 with all stock manifolds. We want to offer it for 9-12PSI or such. As its still an untested setup we cant give power curves but it will be quite decent compared to what we have already on the market and for the price it will be sold for. :)

Will you be making a kite for the m62 540 as I'm looking to get one in the next year or so
I'm located in New Zealand?

[@HydeMotorWorks]

Hi Johnny, Yes we can ship to New Zealand and have already 2 kit for the V8 M60, M62 and N62 under development to be released next year. Thanks. hydemotorworks.com/products-and-supercharger-setups/

[@johnnypenhale5743]

Are you able to give a dollar figure on the cost of a kite at the moment?

[@HydeMotorWorks]

@@johnnypenhale5743 Its difficult but we plan the V8 kits to be priced reasonably. V8 kits that use the Hyde Motor Works Dry Centrifugal supercharger, you would be looking at half the price and close to equal if no same performance as others. If going with the Roots or Twin Screw System then it will be 2/3 price of the others.

Ok thanks for the reply...il be waiting to see the product

@@HydeMotorWorks when are these kits expected to hit the market?

[@joonatansaarinen8715]

What power should i get from this from m50b25 running 700cc injectors plus ethanol around 400?

[@HydeMotorWorks]

Are you wanting to make around 400 - 450HP from the M50B25? If the engine can handle that power (if its built) with the right tune, yes you can hit that engine power with the Harbinger kit.

[@joonatansaarinen8715]

@@HydeMotorWorks i dont even think engine needs to be built just refresh should do the b25 non vanos super strong and guys here in finland are pushing 500-550hp on allmost stock engines around here

[@HydeMotorWorks]

@@joonatansaarinen8715 We recommend for long term usage that its build with a thicker head gasket and arp studs. In the end this is a 30 year+ engine, for reliability you cant expect to push a 189HP Engine to 400 - 500HP almost 250-300% its capacity and expect it to last, but in the end it is your choice. For 500HP + You should consider the M1 as it will see over 350 foot pound of torque at under 2500RPM.

[@joonatansaarinen8715]

@@HydeMotorWorks yeah i undestand i just drive durring the summer so it wouldent be beat all the time so ir should last with head gasket and some studs

[@HydeMotorWorks]

@@joonatansaarinen8715 In this case you should be Okay as long as the tune is done right. This kit is now in its final prototyping phase and we will have updates soon and take pre orders in late April. Drop us a line then and we can work it out for you.
