The “NG” in the name of the G-POWER SK Plus NG supercharger system is standing for “next generation” and it indicates that the G-POWER SK Plus supercharger system features a complete reworked ASA T3-12 supercharger from the year 2009 on. Thanks to a redesigned supercharger transmission with improved tooth flanks and a modified shaft sealing, the originally for 0,3 bar rel. boost designed ASA T3-12 supercharger is now capable of 0,4 bar rel.

With the G-POWER supercharger system the 231 hp strong “old” 3.0l 6-cylinder M54 engine achieves the same output figures as the current bi-turbo engine, exactly 306 hp. Accordingly the performance figures improve likewise, so that the older version of the BMW 3 series and Z4 for are actually quicker than the current models due to there better power-to-weight ratio.

G-POWER supercharged engines feature the unrestricted everyday practicability of the factory engine, combined with an improved specific consumption and the BMW-typical reliability.

At ~$4900, plus shipping and whatnot, it’s not a bad deal… I don’t know that I’d exactly consider it an astounding deal either, though. VF’s kit is $5k even, boasts 24hp more (330hp, 275ft-lbs) and has an outstanding customer support team.

Active Autowerke’s kit is $4400 and claims roughly the same as G-Power’s for AA’s “Level 1″ kit. They have an outstanding reputation for building excellent forced-induction setups for BMWs.

It’s always nice to see another brand name in the game. I kinda wish they’d used the resources to come up with a turbo kit instead of adding yet another centri supercharger kit to the market, though.

This is just another redress of the Infinitas SK kit distributed by ASA. It has been out for years, was attempted by Technic Engineering, and others as well. The M54 twin screw superchargers from ESS Tuning is the way to go. Better power curve than any centrifugal supercharger and has hundreds of units on the road already proving themselves.
