Our Harbinger Supercharger Kit is finally complete. Since July of 2021 we have been working on our first centrifugal supercharger kit, titled Harbinger. The Harbinger is designed as an affordable and reliable mid-range option for enthusiasts. The supercharger is a dry self-contained unit with no lubrication required and is capable of maximum 1150 CFM and up to 22 PSI.

It is scheduled to be released in fall 2022, after all tests have been finalized. We have just released a video featuring Keith Caldwell of K.C. Design Concepts, our chief engineer who introduces this final prototype.

Pre-orders will start in September 2022! We are offering a special discount for the first 10 orders.

Unser Harbinger Supercharger Kit ist endlich einsatzfähig. Es ist unser erstes Zentrifugal-Kompressor-Kit und wurde seit Juli 2021 entwickelt. Der Harbinger wurde als erschwingliche und zuverlässige Mittelklasse-Option für Enthusiasten konzipiert. Der Kompressor ist eine trockene, in sich geschlossene Einheit, die keine Schmierstoffe benötigt und maximal 1150 CFM sowie bis zu 22 PSI leisten kann.

Der Harbringer wird im Herbst 2022 auf den Markt kommen, sobald alle Tests abgeschlossen sind. Wir haben soeben ein Video veröffentlicht, in dem unser Chefingenieur Keith Caldwell von K.C. Design Concepts, diesen Prototyp vorstellt.

Straight Six Manifold Rev. 5 – Production Started!

Read more about the article Straight Six Manifold Rev. 5 – Production Started!

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.

After nearly a year and a half of delays, and many revisions at the HMW K.C. production house, we are finally ready to announce the release of our V3 Eaton M62 and M90 Supercharger Bracket Kit for the BMW M5x and S5x series of engines.

The V3 was originally meant as an budget friendly alternative for the European BMW enthusiast wanting to get into forced induction. The V3 natively supports the small case M62 and M90 superchargers that are commonly found in the Mercedes Kompressor models as the 230, the Jaguar XJ (X308), the Aston Martin V8 Vantage and the Ford Thunderbird among others. The small Eaton M45 from the BMW Mini can also be retro fitted although due to its smaller displacement, it’s not officially supported.

As with all HMW kits, The V3 was developed around support for the 6 Cylinder M50, M50TU, M52, M52TU, M54, S50, S52, S54 Motors. The M90 Requires the use of a Custom HMW SS Manifold while the M62 fits under the M50 & M52 Manifold, the M54 users will be required to switch to the earlier M50 & M52 Manifold or the HMW SS Manifold to gain full clearance.

The HMW V3 kit will shortly be available to purchase from the HMW Official Shop as well as directly through us or our distributors.
