VF-Engineering chose to supercharge the BMW E46 M3 to add to already superior throttle response and give wild mid-to-top end power (sport mode) with the centrifugal Vortech supercharger. Maintaining the original BMW quality, smoothness and reliability were the key factors in the VF design. VF have harnessed reliability of Vortech superchargers with their 10 years of supercharging experience and worldwide OEM supply contacts to create the ultimate supercharger system for the ultimate driver’s car.
The E46 M3 Stage 2 kit offers even greater performance via extra boost from a smaller supercharger pulley, replacement stiffer serpentine belt tensioner and upgraded custom stage 2 software ECU flash with larger stage2 fuel injectors and MAF upgrade. This kit requires the use of high performance cats. The test car was setup with Supersprint headers and Euro M3 cats. Drag racing and aggressive back to back peak rpm shifting will likely require a clutch upgrade.
**100 octane fuel recommended when used on the race track. A pre-cat wideband air/fuel ratio monitoring gauge is also recommended.**
All key components are 100% made in California. Supporting components such as the flow matched injectors are all acquired from German OEM suppliers. This system has been fully road tested and dyno tuned on both the Mustang MD500AWD and in-house Dynojet dynamometers with and without engine load.

Since 1999, VF Engineering has been leading the industry in developing complete bolt-on supercharger systems for European sports cars. The company has been supercharging 5.2-liter V10 engines since 2010, and now offers HEX Tuning off-road race tunes for Audi, BMW, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and more!
VF’s management and engineering team draw upon their immense experience of high-performance superchargers to create top-rated products. VF Engineering has been working on modern sports cars in joint and proprietary projects and partnerships with firms in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and the USA. Such has given VF the opportunity to promote its product lineup in Europe, U.S., and world markets. VF Engineering is dedicated to staying up to date with the latest information and technology. Moreover, it has access to new models as they roll off the assembly lines in Germany through important OEM connections, clients, and manufacturer organizations.
Where is VF Engineering Located?VF Engineering is located in Orange County, California, where it has remained since its inception. The facility measures approximately 15,000 square feet and includes a Mustang AWD 500 chassis dyno, four Hunter lifts, a large photography studio, an R&D room with a rapid prototype, and a room for ECU board work.
What Does VF Engineering Mean?Interestingly enough, the acronym in VF Engineering does not mean anything; the name was chosen merely from availability. What VF Engineering stands for is far more important and something that no clever marketing scheme could achieve. Every single part, line of code, and supercharger system that leaves with the VF label stands for the epitome of design, engineering, and performance. Seeing the VF label on a part means that your car will be running the best it can.
More than 93 percent of VF Engineering’s supercharger systems are still running strong even after years and years of spirited use. In fact, many of these systems are already on their second and third owners! That is a true testament to the solid design, durable construction, and remarkable performance that VF parts boast.
