Are RMS superchargers any good. I got an account with them through my work so i could get a decent price. Are they worth it. Do they still make the sportsman supercharger?What other companies make superchargers for my 95 325i? How much are the installs for superchargers now a days... Sorry for all the stupid questions but im a VW guy. The car is actualy my dads but he doesnt know how to use the internet haha

Some other companies that make supercharger kits for your car:

www.aatuning.com
www.dinanbmw.com
www.esstuning.com

I don't know anything good or bad about ESStuning...

However, AA is the company to beat and for Turbo's they are the marque. They just started with the SuperChargers and it looks good.

RMS does SuperChargers and they have a variety of kits. A stage 3 will net you about 420 rwhp on a dynojet, which is pretty impressive. Osh from RMS does some ingenous things. His latest is the Aftercooler/intake (the plastic intake manifold is replaced with a huge aftercooler. an after cooler is like an intercooler just RMS calls them aftercoolers.) It looks pretty sweet and cools the air just before it goes into the head! sweet!

One thing to note is that AA uses a Mustang Dyno which generally always shows lower numbers than a dynojet. Not that it is any way cheating to use a Dynojet. Just be aware that AA uses a Mustang dyno and numbers with their kits may be higher on a dynojet.

I have a powerdyne supercharger from my old dinan kit, I run 9lbs and 36lb injectors with a RMS chip (custom and not dyno tuned yet). Note the car has NEVER been dyno tuned and at this time I am at 312 rwhp. It should be much better after RMS burns a new program for me.

BTW, why not drop a 3.2 M52 (m3 motor) in? Get a used one. AA says their kit is about 248RWHP. I know you can be close normally aspirated with the right parts and probably close to the same price. Maybe not. The SC is the quicker route.

RMS isnt the greatest, sometimes people slip through or get lucky or what not and have a system that works... http://www.labbb.org/scripts/cgiip....AID=1&hAddrID=1 *previously posted by JOSH* .... that pretty much lets me know to stay away from RMS..... AA is THE best F.I. tuners on the bmw scene as it stands now.
