Supercharger for M6 v10

[phantom]

Is there a firm in South Africa that specialises in supply and fitment of supercharger for the M6 v10?
For those who have followed the thread in the m section as far as i am concerned we have hit the ceiling.The car is going no faster as a normally aspirated vehicle.
I have over 30 years experience in modifying vehicles so i know when i am flogging a dead horse.
We do not want to go the nitrous route due to the continuous having to fill the bottle.When i brought of the first nitro kits into South Africa in 1979 i was paying R2.00 a kg at Afrox.Today i believe its 20X that.Nitrous is not cosistent.I can say that after many years of experience.Ranging from pressure differences in bottle pressure causing differences in mixture to just stupid things like nitrous filters getting blocked.The nitrous we buy is dirty.
Turbo would be my first choice having used them since 1976.On this car however i think space will be a problem.For the size of the motor and the 8400rpm you would need 2 off GT35's.Not small.
We are now left with the route the Americans use.Supercharger.
My back does not bend so well anymore so i need a place to be referred to that will do a professional job.

Why don't you import a g-power kit?

ESS make a great kit for the S85 engine. They use a Vortech Supercharger. Bolt on. They have a VT1 kit and a VT2 kit. Apparently makes around 650 horses.

It's pretty straight forward install. I have a Vortech V3 supercharger for my e46 M3, my kit is rated 570hp. Very easy to install. I would not recommend using the tuning file from USA though, as their tune is for their fuel and altitude. I know of one guy in Cape Town that used an American tune and it blew his engine not long after. The timing was set for a better rated fuel and even though he used Water Meth, when his meth pump failed, the car was running on an advanced timing that the ECU could not pull back in time... BOOM.

The ESS kit is not cheap. You are looking at $12,000.00 without import and customs tax.

With regards to someone installing it. Project shift have built two supercharged cars, one being my previous car, another being an e46 M3. They have never done an S85, but the method is similar.

Rob Green probably has more experience, but he will charge you out your ass and he told me he refuses to install other companies kits, he will only install his own kits.

Wouldn't waste my time going to SavSpeed as they seem to misplace parts and put wrong parts in cars... *personal experience*.

Good luck.

The most promising kit at the moment is from Gintani in the US. Their tunes are for 91 octane US which is our 95 so there shouldnt be much puzzling.

The ESS kit doesnt seem to be putting the numbers down and our altitude will probably only end up gaining 70whp at most. The charger is too small for the VE of the car so cranking it higher to compensate may create heat issues.

Yeah, George does have a point. The ESS charger kit does not use any intercooler or charge cooler method from my understanding.

They run at 5psi. Which is low boost. You would only start seeing big power at 9psi up, but that would require water meth and or intercooler. After that, engine build to run 14psi safely.

Gpower is from Germany and have made some big gains on the m5 and M6. Ess seem to be making better power on the e92 M3...

We at Xcede have supercharged 8 M3's. We have 2 V10's waiting to pull the trigger with ESS. We will modify the kit to compensate for altitude. Not gonna' be cheap though. You can forget about that.

Sherwim, you still have that 2.85" pulley wheel?
