The W.M.D. 45 Supercharger Kit is designed around the Mercedes based Eaton M45 supercharger for the 4-cylinder BMW M42, M43 and M44 Engines, capable of pushing these engines far beyond the S42B20 Race Engine used in the German Super Tourenwagen Cup in the early 90’s!
This supercharger system supports a wide range of classic BMW models such as the E30, E36, E46, Ti, Z3 models.

NOTES:
- The Supercharger is not included in the kit and you are advised to use the given part number for the supercharger and order the supercharger locally.
- Stock M45 pulley will limit the boost to 8PSI with an air to air intercooler, For 12+ PSI you will have to rebuild the M45 Supercharger with new bearings and use any available Hyde Motor Works overdrive pulley made for the M45 Supercharger.
- On the older M42/M43 Engines with the V Belt drive system, you must upgrade to the newer Micro V belt system from the newer M42/M43/M44 engines. Having the M44 Manifold is recommended for best fitment.
- Currently the kit supports only the Eaton M45 Supercharger, future support will be added for the Eaton M62. *
To complete the installation on any of the setups, you will also require the following additional parts:
- Eaton M45 Supercharger (Mercedes variant only, check the technical specifications for part numbers)
- an Intercooler Kit with silicone pipes and hose clamps (can be sold separately)
- vacuum hose
- an high flow air filter
- a boost gauge
- a recirculating by pass valve and
- proper tune.
Please consult the installation guide for more information.
