HMW started production of its in-house designed, custom made Straight Six Manifold Rev. 5, the heart of the M1 K.C. and V3.2 Supercharger Kits.

This aluminum manifold replaces the stock BMW 6-cylinder engine intake manifold and is used on supercharger and turbocharger applications with high intake power. It can also be used with naturally aspirated engines. It offers a total 15% increase in airflow compared to our older design.

The runner pipes are obtained in the pipe extrusion process by using a custom size mold, for maximum airflow. The square shape of the air collector, designed by Zar Hyder himself in cooperation with Keith Caldwell of K.C. Design, is optimized for high performance against intake air starvation on naturally aspirated engines, in contrast to all hedge style manifolds offered by all of our competitors. The welding on the joints is handcrafted and requires an extreme level of precision and accuracy during the manufacturing process.

The HMW Straight Six Manifold was first produced by K.C. Designs in 2017 and replaced the stock engine distributor for the first V3 & later the M1 kit installation. The design of the Rev. 5 variant offers a total of 25% increase in airflow compared to our Rev. 1 variant.

The M1 K.C. and the V3.2 supercharger kits both support all BMW 6-cylinder M5x & S5x based engines: M50NV/M52/M54/S50/S52/S54. The Straight Six Manifold Rev. 5 requires the M54 intake manifold adapter for the M54 and M52TU engines.

The Straight Six Manifold Rev. 5 is offered PE coated and will be available from late August 2021 on, yet we are starting to take pre-orders already now. The Straight Six Manifold Rev. 4 was sold out within a month earlier this year.

In a joint project, Hyde Motor Works and K.C. Design Concepts have redesigned the V3 supercharger kit for the European enthusiasts into two separate supercharger kits.

The larger V3.2 supercharger kit, based on the Eaton M90 supercharger, which was originally developed in 2018, revised in 2020 and will be back on stock for sale from May 2021 on.

While the same year, the V3.62 supercharger kit, based on the Eaton M62 supercharger, was redesigned into a completely separate kit, and will be on stock for sale from July 2021 on.

Pre-orders in the shop now possible starting at 999.

The new system is a simpler bolt-on bracket system, designed for the M5x and S5x line of BMW engines. It retains all OEM accessories, such as air-conditioning, power steering, alternator and even utilizes the OEM belt drive system! Which means, the user does not need to compromise on comforts to make more power. The Eaton M62 allows for low to moderate boost at 5-8 PSI, while the Eaton M90 can be pushed up to 9-10 PSI.
