Hey there, an M42 and near NJ? I think I will take you up on the offer, I was looking for a few folks to try out different superchargers. Tell you what, I would like you to try the Eaton kit and use the M62 (same SC used on the DASC).
See if you can find the M62 from a Mercedes Kompressor from local yards or part guys, they are plenty usually.
Meanwhile, if you cant, we will supply you with a unit to test. Now you are about an hour away from the HMW K.C. workshop in Vineland, NJ. So we will just double check if we have one laying around, if so you can go pick it up from the chief engineer Keith there.
Just be sure to return it afterwards.
If you like then drop me a line and we will work it out.

Hey Ollie! Well the M45/M62 brackets are actually an adapter away from the M90 from the Jag or even something larger. I haven't got plans to incorporate it till maybe later in the year depending on how these setups go. But really its about mounting the M90 adapter on top of the current brackets to make it work. The M90 used should be the ones from the Jaguar, Aston Martin or the Ford Thunderbird as they are short bodied. Also you will certainly need a hood scoop for an M62 or m90 as it will sit quite high. Maybe one of those muscle car hood scopes will go well with these cars. But if you are making more power than a Z4 3L. Why not.
But yes if you like, we could work something out.
But watch out, The other downside is the M90 is slightly larger (40-50cc or so) than the SC14 and about 10% more efficient. You can easily blow up our little M44/M42 with them if you are not careful.

What kind of a car did you have there? I could use a few testers. I can take you in. We can work it out late July.

There are a few sources, we usually supply ours from the UK but airmail takes a hit. On Ebay they come up time to time, this is a store who list them often at good rates -
http://www.ebaystores.com/foreignengines and we have bought from them before.
There is also AliExpress - where I suggest anyone looking for the AMR500 grab theirs as they are going at a good rate ($180 shipped)
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32289771813.html There is also the TVS Eaton
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32662649749.html the TVS R410 is around the same size as an AMR500 (~500CC so only good for maybe ~5PSI at most) But more efficient and used in the new Volvo twin charged engine. This should work with our Eaton M62/M90 brackets if adapted, but not yet officially supported just like the M90.
That said, if buying the SC14 from Aliexpress, ask for the actual blower's picture so you know the condition. Of if you are really interested let me know and we will work something out.

And I love the fact that you're trying to keep it at a great price point that way you can get a lot of people involved in purchasing this kit |
Thank you! We want it to be something that is realistic, affordable and anyone can do, making great savings while we can still make a profit to keep offering the public what they want.

Hey there! thats quite alright as we finance all projects ourselves. But much appreciated. That said however if you would like to test things out, I can offer a 50% off when I have the final prototypes and supply the kit, you grab the blower.

Hey there! So there wont be any difference, all will be priced the same just around a $1K-$1.2K shipped all powder coated with accessories. I intend to make the AMR500 kit cost a lot less as it has less parts we need to manufacture.
But overall there will be 3 main kits, one for the AMR500, second the SC14, both of them retain the stock manifold. If anyone who bought the AMR500 eventually want to upgrade to the SC14, we will cut down the price half and upgrade them) so that way they dont pay more than its worth.
Then the third setup will be for the Eaton M45 & M62, for the eatons we will be using a mini plenum adapter (hence only top half needs to be removed for eatons) Anyone who wishes to try the M45/M62 will get a kit that fits either one of these.
------------------------------
Anyone here have any GM M90's locally? I think they are abundant and if I could make it fit, it could make things easier for a lot of people in the future who want even bigger power although I dont say take the boost any more than 8PSI on a stock motor, specially not without a proper tune.
