When experiencing a VF Engineering
Supercharger, you’ll get the
power you need without breaking
the bank.
High
quality VF construction
VF-Engineering chose to supercharge
the BMW E39 528 and 530 to improve
throttle response and mid-to-top end
power with the centrifugal Vortech
supercharger. With the 3.0 liter version
being a bored and stroked upgrade
of the 2.8 motor, both variations
are otherwise virtually identical.
Maintaining the the original BMW quality,
smoothness and reliability were the
key factors in the VF design. This
is where the GIAC software comes into
full play. VF have harnessed reliability
of Vortech superchargers and quality
of GIAC custom software with their
10 years of supercharging experience
and worldwide OEM supply contacts
to create the ultimate supercharger
system for the ultimate drivers car.
All key components are 100% made in
California. This system has been fully
road tested and dyno tuned on both
the GIAC Mustang MD500AWD and in-house
Dynojet 224XLC dynamometers with and
without engine load. All stage 1 kits
are setup at 6 psi and create as much,
if not more power than similar products
running greater levels of boost.
VF engineers spent over 12 months
software testing the BMW Bosch and
Siemens ECUs and resolved "stalling
and MAF issues " faced by other
supercharger systems. Software flash
technology and latest BMW file versions
have all been employed to provide
the cleanest and most reliable method
of software installation. GIAC engineers
extensively re-wrote the ECU software
using their own binary, assembly and
disassembly algorithms written from
scratch. Testing the software included
extensive road and dyno test cycles,
with acceleration and deceleration
tests for drivability smoothness and
ECU fuel management. All test cars
were put through long term full throttle
testing in conditions varying from
wet cold climates to hot dry Arizona
desert temperature for safe-optimal
air fuel ratios and knock activity
monitoring. Competently written ECU
software has allowed VF to fully explore
the potential of the BMW engine making
over 40% more power in most applications.
VF chose to mount the Vortech supercharger
with an in-house CNC machined aluminum
bracket system. The unit is positioned
in line with the original serpentine
belt which is replaced with a longer
OEM belt. The key to this design is
that the OEM active-spring belt tensioner
remains fully functional and eliminates
belt slip or the need to manually
tension the belt. The supercharger
air ducts are custom molded in-house
from plastic to give an OEM appearance,
quality and fit. The incorporated
Bosch boost overrun system is designed
for smooth off-throttle cruising and
deceleration with clean emissions.
The crankcase ventilation system is
designed to cope with positive pressure
and high flow OEM injectors are supplied
to fit as direct replacements without
modification to the injector rail.
A removable plastic air box is provided
with the K&N induction filter
for those who use their vehicles in
persistently wet climates. The VF
supercharger system remains fully
OBD2 compliant and is supported by
a 3 year unlimited mileage warranty
on the product only. Installation
can be performed in approximately
8 hours and is non-intrusive allowing
it to be fully reversible.
Every aspect of this kit has been
fully engineered for high quality
fitment and highly demanding performance
and expectation. VF's in-house horizontal,
turning and milling CNC's and plastic
molding plant, GIAC's industry reputation
and track record and Vortech's reliability
have been fully exploited to create
a product with internationally un-rivaled
material technology, quality and performance.
Not all vehicles respond identically
to engine modifications which are
why it is important to consider the
"delta" or relative power
increase measured on the same dyno
before and after modification. Power
gains shown by VF have been found
to be accurate on test vehicles on
91 octane at sea level, with stock
setups (i.e. throttle body, exhaust
system etc). The GIAC software adapts
just as the OEM software and a slight
increase in performance may be expected
from the use of higher quality fuels
such as 93 octane. Power gains may
vary according to factors such as
altitude or vehicle condition. Automatic
vehicles are compatible but due to
the nature of the transmission, dyno
measurements are not made.
The 530 5-speed test vehicle shown
in the above images is a local Southern
California resident's daily driven
test vehicle. Throttle response is
crisp and torquey. Whereas the stock
vehicle was well suited for cruising,
the added power and torque made heavy
5 series 6 cylinder now feel like
it could actually accelerate at mid
to high speeds.
