BMW E36 M3 gets a Jolt of Power with VF Supercharger Kit

In most of our project cars we use the VF Engineering Supercharger kit. We tell you about the bolt on power this thing possess and how it is probably one of the best bolt-on systems around. Although we have a lot of experience with VF Engineering, we love to hear what customers think of the VF Supercharger Kits. This is our sales guy Ahmed’s (ahmed@vividracing.com ext. 231) customer, that not only installed the supercharger himself, but then gave us some awesome before and after pictures. Here is the exact review he left for the VF Engineering VF350 Supercharger System 6psi BMW E36 M3 3.2L 95-99,

“A couple weeks ago I installed the Supercharger Kit made by VF Engineering for my 1999 e36 M3 Estoril Blue coupe. I have to tell you, after installing the kit myself (I’m not an auto mechanic and I took my sweet time, since the car is not my daily driver) I couldn’t be any happier. I also like the way I was able to install the flash programming to my ECU myself at home with the Hex Flash programming kit loaded on my laptop. It was money well spent to not have to remove the ECU and wait for the time it takes to ship in both directions. I am especially happy about how much stronger my car runs. It’s very noticeable and puts a smile on my face when I drive it. It’s like getting a new car, only with way way more power.

I had Technical support help from the folks at VF Engineering and there were two people there that helped me when I was unsure of something in the instructions. Tech support specialist Jeff helped me with some minor installations questions I had. I was surprised when he was helping me during what I would consider non-business hours and then there was Tech support specialist Nik who helped me with the Hex Flash programming on a Sunday night at 11pm. Nik returned my calls, emails and texts every time I needed some help. Typically that was evenings or on the weekend, but he was also available during the day. I hope those guys get compensated for working all those odd hours. Nik brought a whole new meaning to Customer Service when I really needed them and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend not only their SC kit, but be assured they will help get you up and running, should you need some with the install.

Finally I should send Kudos to Ahmed at Vividracing.com who was very helpful and also provided me with excellent customer service when I was researching the SC kit and trying to decide on where to get it from. They were competitive in their pricing and since they are located in Arizona, I only paid for shipping and no CA state sales tax, which would have been much more then the shipping cost. When Ahmed couldn’t answer a question about the VF Engineering SC kit he got right on the phone, called them and called me back in a timely fashion. You can bet when I’m looking for future items that Vividracing.com sells I will be getting in contact with them again.”

After receiving this review, we responded and asked him to supply before and after pictures if he had them. Not only did we get pictures, but we got a more in depth explanation about the way he went about the install. Here’s what he said about his install and some details that might be important for someone doing this on their own.

“Attached are some pictures for you. You may notice that with the new Hex Flash program I didn’t put the MAF sensor back in since VF Engineering doesn’t require it’s use anymore and I was able to shorten the intake as a result, which also meant I didn’t need to remove the front bumper or move the horns for my install and it looks much cleaner.”

Below are the before and after transformation pictures.

Gallardo LP 570-4 Edizione Tecnica gets VF Supercharged

VF Engineering has been supercharging our cars for years. We’ve added a VF’s Supercharger to 997′s, our M3 project car and seen it upgrade a BMW Z3M. We aren’t the only person who knows the power VF can give an elite car. They recently received this 2013 Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera straight from Lamborghini in Newport, CA. This is the client’s second Lamborghini to get supercharged by VF Engineering and the only Arancio Argos Gallardo  in the United States.  Below is the progression of the build VF Engineering did to this supercar.

Beginning of the install

Now begins the install of the air-to-water cooling system. Below is information from VF Engineering on how the system works.

Post install dyno run and results.

We want to give a shout out to VF Engineering for the pictures and information.
