hi guys:wave:

i'm putting a supercharger on my ci .been doing some research for awhile and settled on a Vortech V2 kit.:dropjaw:

anyone done this before ?:mmm:

 

[zaleonardz]

Awesome man,

Keep us posted, and give some details.

Pricing, bolt on, boost planned ?

:clap:

 

[nawtiboy]

well - let's say it will break the bank :cursin:

it's going cost just under 30k :shocked:

the kit is identical to RGM except 60k cheaper :shocked:

power gains are quite high -the kit is from vf engineering

but i'm getting it bit by bit to fabricate it :thinker:

here is what is expected

The BMW E46 325i in standard form produces 141kw@6000rpm and [email protected] the RGM 0.5 bar low boost bolt
on liquid charge cooled supercharged conversion -the BMW E46 325i will then produce 286Kw@6500rpm
and 416Nm@3500rpm.

at the fly :dropjaw:

i'll definitely do a post on the whole implant :thumbsup:

 

[zaleonardz]

OK, now those is is some AWESOME gains, and while the bank is clear to take a beating for a while, its actually not that harsh if you consider the gains.

Good luck with it and keep us updated...

 

[nawtiboy]

:thumbsup: the parts should start arriving in about a month -so hell yeah !

Nice piece of kit

 

[///Marksman]

hey this is great! good luck with the build man:thumbsup:

 

[SlowMo]

what electronics controls this kit?

 

[nawtiboy]

a normal aftermarket chip works fine

 

[SlowMo]

what are you going to use? a unichip?

 

[nawtiboy]

yip - i already have a chip installed , but i'm going to change it to type Q to control the boost

 

[SlowMo]

very nice.

i would be very interested to know how it goes, esp with boost. things like adaptation i'm interested to know how the uni-q handles it, and more importantly, vanos. I've spoken to the guys at dastek, spoke to one of the engineers, but he didnt go much into the details. will speak to him again. if it works nice for you, i might go the same route on my build.

 

[nawtiboy]

yeah - me too :wave:

iv'e been at this for a while now - according to the Dyno shop - it should be fine.

i don't see any issues with vanos - with the current uni chip it works fine

the difference with the Q is i can communicate via bluetooth to acivate up to 5 different setting.

i'll definitely do a post on it - even if i don't get the 286kw on the fly

i'm going to run a max of 0.4 - although the standard engine can go up to 0.6 :wave:

 

[gizmowp]

this sounds insane! good luck with the setup:excited:
