As spring moves slowly towards a warm summer, the month of May is here and with it comes another Featured Build of the month!

Today we present a well kept Supercharged E34 in Alpine White! This car belongs to Charlie Pearce from the UK and he supercharged it with the Hyde Motor Works a V3.62 Supercharger Kit. Seeing close to some 8PSI with an Air to Air intercooler, this car has a custom ECU setup, M50 Manifold as well as some other goodies.

E34 Supercharged Hyde Motor Works V3.62

The owner of this beautiful, Charlie sent us some details and here is his story,

“I decided to supercharge my E34 as I wanted to gain some power while retaining the original motor. I liked the idea of a supercharger kit, where everything was ready to bolt straight into the car without any major modifications being made. When I searched for supercharger kits for M50’s online, there was only one company which provided such kits, which was hyde motor works. Searching through the different available kits I decided on the V3.62. This kit seemed ideal as the eaton M62 was accessible to me, and it allowed me to run a supercharger at a boost pressure safe for a completely standard motor.“

Charlie further documents his build and installation process,

“As for the build itself it was very simple, the instructions easy to follow and everything fitted very well. The main challenge I came across while completing the build was finding space to mount an intercooler on the E34.

I ended up having to cut holes in the radiator supports in order to fit the pipework to and from the intercooler. Running the boost and intake piping was relatively simple, I did this with silicone couplers and in the future plan to upgrade to aluminium hard pipes. To compliment the V3.62 kit I purchased the 60mm reduced pulley which should see me to 8psi with an intercooler. I had access to a m50b25 intake manifold and throttle body, so I put this onto the car too in hope of some more air flow. For fueling I used the tre performance 440cc injectors from hyde and a walbro 255 pump. For engine management I’m using ecu master emu classic, with a m50 adaptor. Im going to have the car tuned in april, My goal is to see 250bhp.“

Der Winter ist da und wir sind zurück, um all unseren Anhängern den featured Build des Monats Dezember 2022 zu präsentieren. Dieses türkisfarbene E36 323i Hardtop-Cabrio hebt sich sehr gut vom Rest ab, auch dank seines exotisch-aggressiven Aussehens, das ihn wie aus einem Mad-Max-Film erscheinen lässt, untermalt von einem herrlichen Heulen eines Roots-Superchargers unter der Haube.

Dieser Wagen wurde von Preston Prentis aus Kalifornien mit dem Hyde Motor Works V3.62 Supercharger Kit gebaut und von Kassel Performance getunt. Nachdem ein frisch umgebauter Kompressor und eine verstärkte Kupplung, schiebt dieser 1999er 323i rund 300 PS aus dem serienmäßigen 168 PS BMW M52B25 Motor heraus.

Im Frühjahr 2021 wandte sich Preston mit großem Enthusiasmus an uns und suchte nach Informationen, um seinen BMW mit einer einfachen und zuverlässigen Lösung aufzuladen. Nach einiger Beratung überzeugten wir ihn, einen unserer neueren Kits zu verwenden, den V3.62, ein Setup, das den Eaton M62 Roots-Kompressor verwendet. Mit dem zusätzlichen Hyde Motor Works M62 60 mm Pulley und einer guten Tuningmaßnahme ist er in der Lage, 8 PSI + mit einem Luft-Luft-Ladeluftkühler zu liefern.
