Maybe I should get on this bus, 5900GBP's sounds like a good deal, I wonder how much AA will charge? Does anybody know if you ordered one in the states would it just be 5900 GBP's or would I have to pay the VAT and import duties? Josh
Josh, 5900GBP works out to be $10,832.95.. plus delivery and installation. No idea if you have pay any customs charges when importing into the US, but still at the price, very cheap compared to the other supercharger kits on the market. :typing:
BTW ... Has anyone asked ... Our oem S62 motor has 11:1 compression as it comes from the factory ... After adding 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 PSI of BOOST ...

How does SC this S62 motor effect the already high compression of this motor?

Will this motor come apart at the "Seams" under Full Boost without lowering its compression ?

Granted we do not know how much AA will charge, I think $10,832.95 plus installation would be an absolute bargain for 610 HP with out any other major mods compared to other currently available options, thats why I am particulary interested in other fees such as Vat and import because this sounds like a really a good deal, but thanks for the info, Josh
hi Guys , Roy here

sorry for lack of replies , just been busy .

Not much to update you on , but here goes :

- should have more images and dyno figures within 2 weeks
- we have been limited to just FOUR kits at the introductory price WE HAVE ALREADY SOLD ONE ! SO THREE LEFT ONLY AT THAT PRICE ...sorry we did try for more units but demand is too high . So after the four units price will be full retail . IF YOU WANT TO GUARANTEE YOUR KIT AT INTRO PRICE WE NEED A £1000 NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT NOW .

- "intro"-customers will also have to participate in some kind of feedback routine with us (ie. interviewed by me & alutech), and be prepared that we might want to use pictures of your cars, customer quotes, etc. for promoting the final kit. Also please appreciate you are actually buyers of the very first kits and even though we will have run 3 test cars with the kit in hard tests for many miles with different fuels etc., there might be some minor development issues that haven't yet surfaced in our testing, thats is why this introductional cost kits exist, It's important customers understand this.
- it goes without saying we strongly recommend upgrading chassis , brakes and clutch to accomodate the power . We can quote for all this at discount to help out .
-I am sure you all know what you want , but for my 10pence worth here is the minimum upgrades we would like to see on the converted cars , I have added our suggested discounted prices against each item, all inc vat :

1. Stoptech 355mm front brake kit £1560.00
2. Spec St3 clutch kit ( ltw flywheel not included ) £525.00
3. Eibach springs £165.00

these prices apply in combination with supercharger kit sales ONLY , both the intro and retail kits.

Seems to me that by integrating an active autowerke CAIS , bigger Throttle bodies and velocity stacks , maybe even 100 cell cats etc that 650 bhp would not be too difficult to acheive .

Some of you may want to look into reinforcing the rear subframe , we can provide a link details form another M5 owner who has done this .

Hope the above is of help , as ever let me know any further questions

regards
roy

So to do this kit properly, you're going to need

5,900 GBP for the S/C Kit
1,100 GBP for the warranty(per year)
1,560 GBP for the stoptechs
165 GBP for Eiback Springs
525 GBP for flywheel

9.250 GBP All in..

Thats without the cost of rear subframe reinforcement.

Too rich for my taste..

Thanks again for bring such a marvellous bit of kit to the market.

Cheers
David

Where did you get this figure from?
Is the warranty not included with the kit itself at 5900GBP?


i've got all the other bits inplace ready to take a s/c, bar the rearframe reinforcement... means i'd have to lose my gruppeMs.. no more carbonfibre.. :sad2: and the s'cs will be hidden downbelow too... :3:

Roy, is the ECU programming done inhouse in the UK? or does the DME need to be sent off?

Does this quantity of 4 include the prototype cars with the s/c? ie you already have 3 m5's with this kit being tested before selling these 4 production kits?

What does the warranty cover?

Also Ed's question above:
Will this motor come apart at the "Seams" under Full Boost without lowering its compression ?

How much boost are these test m5's running?

What is the cost of just the SC kit shipped to the U.S.? I would assume no VAT, but import duties instead. I would also be interested in the parts for the rear subframe upgrade, shipped. Thx

Jerry

hi all ,some more answers :


- if you check all the posts and info we have listed regarding these kit syou will see the warantee was ALWAYS an extra cost , and one we are still negotiating with the company concerned ...it is NOT included in the charger prices

- this is a low boost pressure application , no need to de compress the engine

- we have 4 kits in total available for sale to the public at the lower intro price ....these do NOT include the test cars

- For US orders please contact Daniel at Beastpowerr .com

- for the first few conversions we will be sending the ECU s off for remapping and then re fit them to the converted cars

- Please note we are unable to provide a kit or parts for subframe strenghthening but can provide alink to such info

all the best

Thanks for all this Roy. I am still coming down on 4th June hopefully with Piers Tin and Dave (I know you probably won't take the plunge Dave, but I am sure you won't miss the opportunity for an M5 convoy to Gosport!) to go through the detail, to see how it stacks up with the ESS offering also due in June; if the delay in coming down to see you means I miss the introductory price, then so be it. It is more important to be 100% confident in the development work and to understand exactly what's involved, talk through the warranty etc etc..

Empe & Roy:

Will Beastpower ALSO install ... or make ALL arrangemenbts for the above described CA-Auto: Supercharger Kit to be installed?

IF the CA-Auto: Supercharger Kit is pourchased via Beastpower along with the optional warranty ... WHO ... Meaning which company handles any and all warranty claims ... Beastpower or Ca-Automotive?

Roy ... Can answer my question regarding the S62 Compression (11:1) as asked a few threads prior? I see that you somewhat answered it with the following:

"this is a low boost pressure application , no need to de compress the engine"

What is the recommended Maximum (psi) BOOST or New Boost Range for this system? At this NEW MAXIMUM (psi) BOOST Level ... Would there be a NEW compression level? If so ... what is that New Level as compared to the oem's 11:1 ?

Roy ... You said: "Please note we are unable to provide a kit or parts for subframe strenghthening but can provide alink to such info"

Can you provide us NOW with the link that you are referring to so that we may begin to do our DD ?

Many Thanks!

:cheers:

As a comparison, Bill (shadowman's) z8 has been running 8psi with an otherwise stock engine, no issues yet!

HI Guys

- boost level is around 7 psi .
- Contrary to my post yesterday , Beastpower will not be offering this system , at least not yet ; I will reply soon as to whether CA can supply to the USA ; if we do you may have to refine our osftware map yourselves on a dyno as there are subtle differences between US and european parameters .

- to repeat , I say repeat myself :) NO NEED TO DE COMPRESS THE ENGINE , THIS KIT BOLTS ON , NO INTERNAL MODS .

will be back as soon as we have more info
WHO WILL BE DISTRUBUTING YOUR SC KIT IN THE USA?
CA AUTOMOTIVE, PLEASE REPLY TO MY PM.


EMPEROR
:M5rev: :M5launch:
HI Emp


have sent you e mail today .

Things have changed a little sincemy last post , and CA can indeed now distribute these compressor kits to the USA , I have 4 kits left at the intro price .

thanks
Roy, could you email/pm the link on the subframe strengthening please?

Also when do you anticipate this kit being available in production form? any rough guidelines? I'm aware your fairly busy with other projects etc (in particularly the 6series s62 kit). Is that using the same kit here?

Thanks
Tin
