The VF-Engineering M3 supercharger for the BMW E90/92/93 S65 engine is a fully upgradeable water cooled supercharger system. Designed to provide the most consistent charge temperatures under aggressive driving, the VF water intercooler system has a greater propensity to dissipate heat energy out of the air charge than an air intercooler.

VF-Engineering chose to build this kit with the most efficient Vortech unit available – the V3 Si trim. Its super quiet helical cut gears make it super stealthy yet still remind onlookers that there is something different under the hood. The Si trim supercharger delivers a bigger mid range punch than the race “T-trim” yet is capable of supporting over 700hp. The centrifugal supercharger compressor maps ideally match the 8300 rpm revving S65 BMW Motorsport engine.

VF-Engineers created hardware that most would consider to be an “overkill” when compared to other kits. Just looking at the CNC Machined supercharger bracket, the flycut 6061-T6 aircraft grade aluminum is not only the stiffest on the market but also something that you could expect to see used in the aerospace industry. This mounting bracket is a triangulated to the engine block in addition to a rigid Chrome Moly brace and with high tensile hardware.

The factory belt tensioner is upgraded and the supercharger is driven off an OEM multi-rib serpentine belt.

The factory plastic intake manifold is replaced with a high VF cast aluminum plenum designed to channel the air from the supercharger to the 8 independent M3 throttle bodies through tapered velocity stacks designed to speed up airflow.

The heat exchanger included in the VF650 kit cools the intake air charge with the cooled water circulating through it from a custom molded water reservoir, an OEM front mount radiator and water pump.

The high displacement bypass valve recirculates air charge off throttle to minimize manifold pressure instantly. The bypass valve is one of the largest available valves in that frame. Mounted on a universal flange, the VF valve can be replaced with an optional “Tial” blow off valve for superb sound effects. 

The fuel injectors are upgraded with high capacity Bosch EV model high-impedance rapid response fuel injectors that were carefully chosen and tested for exacting response time and ultra-precise spray pattern. These injectors match the OEM fuel pattern and provide optimal combustion and superior fuel efficiency but with significantly greater horsepower potential.
