VF-Engineering Superchargers



The Team
The VF-Engineering management and engineering team derive their experience from 7 years of supercharging modern sports cars such as the Lotus, VW, BMW and Opel. Joint projects and partnerships with firms in the UK and Switzerand have given VF the opportunity to market in Europe and obtain the latest information on newly released vehicles. Simplicity in design and performance is the key specs.


VF-Engineering Advantage:
VF-Engineering works with industry leaders in all aspects of its product. Proprietary Fuel management software is written by GIAC with extensive testing and feedback provided by VF Engineers. Fuel management with re-written ECU software is one of the key elements to a supercharger kit as it is the same principal as used by car manufacturers.

The Vortech supercharger used is the heart of the VF-Engineering supercharger kits. It is built fom a cast aluminum design used for almost 10 years. The patented Vortech design is used in a wide range of applications from industrial blowers to 200+ mph race cars. VF-Engineering works with Vortech engineers in aspects ranging from product design to production. This enables us to offer our unrivaled 3 year unlimited mileage warranty on all major parts.

VF-Engineering research and development department continues to prototype and develop kits for new model vehicles as they enter into the market. BMW, Audi, Mercedes are amongst many of the brand names that we have in development.


VF-Engineering Design Principals:
VF-Engineering designs and manufactures supercharger systems based on the Vortech supercharger. The centrifugal design was chosen for its power delivery characteristics and flexibility for retro-fitting. The centrifugal unit gives a strong almost linear power delivery characteristic giving the feeling of a much larger capacity engine.

VF-Engineering supercharger kits are designed to give gradual progressive power increase, and within safe levels for the engine. A great advantage is that our kits are simple to remove and maintain. Stock drivability coupled with a superior throttle response was a part of the design specification.

Kits are engineered and built to tolerance as a complete product, each part designed to fit without interfering with stock parts Everything you need is provided, from silicon hoses to hose clamps and plated grade 12.8 hardware. Fuel re-mapping is supplied with a recalibrated ECU software chip that is tested for optimum lambda (O2)
