BMW V8 M60 and M62 engines are famous for low-end and mid-range torque. However, at higher RPMs these engines are not so lively. That is why, we have created the supercharger installation for them. We use centrifugal T1-518 supercharger made by ASA. Alpina used the same superchargers in their BMW B5 or B7 cars. This supercharger is very efficient and it adds additional boost as the speed of the engine increases. This means the centrifugal supercharger will provide more horsepower at high engine speeds and less boost at lower engine speeds. Such characteristics is desirable in V8 applications. It improves performance at higher RPMs and does not interfere with low-end torque, because low-end's power output is good enough in N/A. At 0.5bar of boost M60B40 engine produces around 400HP and over 500NM. Below you can find more information. If you have any questions related to that, do not hesitate to ask us by our e-mail address. We will resolve your doubts.
