As producer of one of the finest working supercharger systems for the BMW E46 M3, Active Autowerke is proud to introduce the PRIMA PLUS supercharger system capable of exceeding 500 WHP on pump-drawn 93 octane. The PRIMA PLUS is an upgrade to the existing PRIMA supercharger system, designed to create MORE horsepower.

In collaboration with Frank Smith of Tuning Tech FS, the Prima PLUS SC kit has evolved as a fantastic performer. With numerous dyno runs under countless hours --all monitored through careful Data Logging and

Lean/Rich evaluation-- this PRIMA PLUS supercharger kit is ready for the BMW enthusiast.

The PRIMA PLUS is a centrifugal design supercharger using a conventional fixed drive pulley, but unlike it's predecessors, the PRIMA PLUS also has variable boost settings of 9.0 psi and 9.5 psi to help attain power.

A first in the BMW forced induction industry.

For easy comparisons, here is where the PRIMA and PRIMA PLUS + stands when measuring rear wheel horsepower:

A stock BMW E46 M3 is around 265 WHP.

PRIMA SC makes 425 WHP.

PRIMA PLUS SC makes 500+ WHP.

CUSTOMER IMPRESSION:

"...I intend to go to race fuel (104+) in the spring when I can drive it more.

So far the acceleration plants you into the seat. 1st and 2nd gear have the

rear tires searching for grip and I am running a 275 R compound tire. The

car feels alive and the power band is exceptionally characteristic of the

original power plant but just more power everywhere. There is no lag in

power delivery and is easy to modulate in partial and full throttle scenarios...."

BMW E46 M3 SC with AA PRIMA PLUS +

HOW DOES IT WORK:

Running without a front mounted intercooler, the PRIMA PLUS + relies on Water/Methanol and precise tuning to

make it happen. When activated by the flip of a switch, the system develops 9.5 psi of boost and 500 + WHP.*

The Water/Methanol system combined with proper software tuning performs flawlessly, but if a problem arises such as a low WA/Meth fluid level, excessive detonation, etc. there a immediate safeguard built in.

The system will automatically default back to the 6.0 psi level to prevent any damage to the motor.

Now you can enter the F.I. realm with a proven company known for reliability and proven performance.

WHY THE PRIMA SUPERCHARGER KIT FOR YOUR E46 BMW M3?

Since BMW ceased production of the E46 BMW M3 in June 2006, it has become one of the most coveted models to enhance with various performance modifications. One of the more popular upgrades to date has been the addition of a supercharger system like PRIMA, capable of creating over 600 horsepower to the rear wheels.

As newer iterations of the M3 are introduced, past generations like the E46 invite a whole new community of BMW owners seeking performance modifications relative to the car's value. This translates to reduced expense on Active Autowerke supercharger components, making it the perfect time for an entry level supercharger system.

Simply put, not much compares to a PRIMA-supercharged E46 M3 when it comes to bang for your performance-vehicle buck.

CAN I RUN PRIMA WITHOUT AN INTERCOOLER?

YES! In the past, running this kit without an intercooler would have been considered suicidal due to the extremely high 11.5:1 compression of the S54 engine. Thankfully, through years of product development, testing, and tuning of supercharger applications with this motor, PRIMA kit and associated software have undergone changes to successfully and safely marry the S54's stock motor with the rigors of a boosted application.

WHY USE ACTIVE AUTOWERKE?

Guarantee Active Autowerke guarantees the quality of their BMW performance products; some of which surpass the performance industry standard. Combining a quality product with exceptional customer service are two of the core values we practice every day.

Longevity Active's 30+ years of experience working and wrenching on BMWs is a true testament to what Active Autowerke is all about. With thousands of superchargers already sold, and many used or pre-owned kits already transferred to new cars and owners; consumers are ensured piece of mind knowing they can trust a company that continues to support systems that are 10+ years old.

Active Autowerke Methanol Injection Kit, BMW E46

Active Autowerke Methanol Injection Kit, BMW E46
Buy Now: $1,800.00

Superchargers and turbochargers generate more than just boost. They generate a ton of incremental heat during operation, resulting in a heat-soaked engine and eroded performance. So their power increase creates its own power decrease problem. Oops.

But an Active Autowerke methanol-water injection system will help chill the intake charge to a cooler temperature effectively combating the heat soak effect. Additionally, the methanol-water mix increases your engine's knock limit thus serving as insurance against unwanted high boost detonation.

The Methanol-water is precisely delivered and metered by its own electronic module. This module not only monitors the boost pressure within the engine but also controls the delivery flow to match both the engine load and demand as needed.

The large 1.8+ gallon reservoir is well suited for this task. The capacity is there to meet most demands; the trunk mounted location is ideal by being the furthest position away from both engine and exhaust heat; and its trunk position maximizes the trunk space. It has a rigid mount that's very secure, yet it can be easily detached if needed by its spring loaded quick releases.

If there's one mod you should be considering for better forced induction performance, this is it.

Key Features:

Trunk-mounted 1.8+ gallon reservoir with inline filter and low pickup tube

Reservoir location on Battery Tray maximizes trunk storage

Methanol-water mix is not influenced by either engine or exhaust heat

Robust high volume pump will deliver on demand and is suited for a methanol-water mix

Electronic module delivers precisely. Settings can be re-adjusted if needed

Injection hose and wiring routed within a protective casing

NOT a generic, universal system but manufactured model specific

Detailed instruction with pictures makes for a simple install

Tested and proven on our 500+ HP turbo and supercarged cars

NOTE:

Methanol or any liquid is not included with this system. The end user is responsible for procurement

Designation: BMW E92 M3 2008-2013 | S65 4.0L V8
Standard Output: 414hp | 300tq
Power Gains: 40-57% HORSEPOWER | 30-40% TORQUE
TURNKEY "BOLT ON" SYSTEM
FULLY REVERSIBLE

The VF-Engineering M3 supercharger for the BMW E90/92/93 S65 engine is a fully upgrade-able water cooled supercharger system. Designed to provide the most consistent charge temperatures under aggressive driving, the VF water intercooler system has a greater propensity to dissipate heat energy out of the air charge than an air intercooler.
VF-Engineering chose to build this kit with the most efficient Vortech unit available – the V3 Si trim. Its super quiet helical cut gears make it super stealthy yet still remind onlookers that there is something different under the hood. The Si trim supercharger delivers a bigger mid range punch than the race “T-trim” yet is capable of supporting over 700hp. The centrifugal supercharger compressor maps ideally match the 8300 rpm revving S65 BMW Motorsport engine.
