RMS Supercharger

Does anyone have any info on this? I found a link to it a few topics back. i called RMS but no one spoke english.

Is it a worthwhile compariison to twin charge? I did not see any numbers posted.

If RMS is Race Marque Systems...

It looks like they're putting Vortech's onto BMWs. If that the company, then no, it's not like a twincharge....

No Dr. that is RMS/Gintani you are refering to...

RMS in Austria builds a system around a twin-screw supercharger.
Both Randy Webb and myself looked at this offering and both realized
that the price we had to charge for this baby was astronomical.......

Just exactly how much was that twinscrew setup? Always wondered what happened to it

There are some twinscrew set-up you can buy...

But it would have to be for a different car, and you'd have to do your own integration work. And all to replace the existing roots. I'd be thinkin you'd be spending about $4k or so, but I haven't looked to deeply to really price it out. For the money, you might as well just twin-charge.

Maybe get it direct from RMS-Tuning...

http://www.rms-tuning.com/mini_tuning_s.htm but it aint cheap.

This is something Randy posted....

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...31&postcount=1

But like Peter said, it doesn't seem to be available directly from a US source....
