Just got the call from Nik. Stay tuned for Dyno results. I am about to go pick it up from VF Engineering in a few minutes.

Damn his 6psi makes more whp then other 7psi kits, by a good 10whp.
edit: then again, he does have stromung exhaust...
nice.. polished blower looks mint. The tunning looks good. enjoy
The AFR line shows the secret ingredient of VF's power...high 12's and close to 13:1 AFR near redline. Which ain't particularly dangerous at that boost level, as long as the timings are modest and the fuel is good. But there's NO margin for running cheap/lower octane gas, and there's no margin for a quick boost bump via a SC pulley swap.
That's about a point or more lean than a stock Dinan tune, by comparison, and can account for 10-15 rwhp all by itself. Combine that with a bit more aggressive timing and we can see how VF is able to out-dyno the other Vortech base kits at lower boost pressure. Just keep it on the good gas and you should be fine.
93 325is - total M3 conversion and more - Dinan SC kit - RMS aftercooler and tuning - 395rwhp on 91 octane.

when is the z4 3.0 blower coming out? They won't answer my email
Actualy Nik called me earlier this morning, that 13:1 up top will be tuned on Monday. Apparently they need to adjust it and add more fuel up top. He wants perfection.Originally Posted by Croak
They seriously go into the smallest detail throughout the install. The blower and the whole kit as a matter of fact looks and feels very solid. I was pushing on the blower..that thing is solid and would not move.

Congrats on the numbers!Originally Posted by five3five
But I have a question for you, you say that you are going back to get your afr's tuned. Does this mean they will be modifying the software? Because I'm interested in this kit, but I was under the impression that its basically bolt on. I don't want to have to send back to get a new tune on the chip. We really need a bmw tuner in edmonton
Thanks
nice! will you do stage 2 soon ? how much will you put down for stage 2? do you have an aftermarket clutch, if so what?

Glad to see Hamada is pleased with his kit. We are revising his software which will be a revision sent to all existing customers. It is not usual for us to ship a revision but we are in this case.
So far, out of the dozens of E36 S52 kits shipped only a handful (3 to be exact) of users will be affected. We are covering the to and fro shipping of their ECUs.
