ok, I've been looking for a while and have been skimming the boards for the e36 M3, I tend to see lots of initials for the brands of SC.....I can't figure out the brand for the twin screw is, and a few others. so please forgive me on not knowing my acronyms, if you guys could post a quick reference of as many of them as you can think of available in the U.S. that would be fantabulous. Once I get the names I can search the rest, Thanks.......Keith

Vortech Based
- Dinan
- RMS
- Eurobahn
- VF Engineering

Powerdyne Based
- Early Dinan kits
- Early ESS kits

Twinscrew Based
- Eurosport
- Active Auto (maybe still in the works?)

Rotrex
- Active Auto

Probably missing a few people, needless to say there are plenty of options available (and TURBOS!). Poop.

I would do turbo's but from my experience for daily driven, the turbo kits I've delt with seems to be high maint, of course these kits were fabed in the garage. I think the SC will be less maint. Plus I've never had a SC so I kind of want to go that route. I don't know, I probably break down in the end and go turbo like I always do.....those damned turbos...errrrrr.......

KO has the VF engineering model for $4,500 with free shipping right now. This is an outstanding deal for a very well designed kit.

This M3 Supercharger system for your 1995 M3 features the new Rotrex Supercharger unit and includes both a front mounted intercooler and an oil cooler.

The system delivers instantaneous power and low end torque unfamiliar to other types of supercharger systems. This is achieved while running super unleaded fuel with the factory exhaust catalyst and stock muffler.
There is no need for adding a Mechanical Fuel Pressure Regulator, or any other ancillary add-ons to compensate for ignition or fuel. It is all done in the software, just like how the factory would.

Lets be honest here. Name me one of the above kits that requires this. That is like saying the supercharger is belt driven, it applies to all them.

Can you say more about this? How does your centrifugal blower now deliver 'instantaneous power' and 'low end trq'? I thought only PD type blowers could deliver this?

the AA kit looks nice, I really want to go for a ride in a sc m3.....I want to justify the cost. I can already justify the turbo cost, because I know enough about them and can go many many routes. As for the FRP, theres no way in hell I would run boost on any non-factory boosted car with out one. I feel safer knowing I'm getting proper fuel from mechanical guages jmho.
