Nice kits Roman...
What kit would you advise for a DCT?? I hear going over 600bhp could blow the transmission.

DCT software is included on any VT2-600 and 625 car that is brought to us for installation and is an option that can be added to the VT1-535, VT2-550 and VT2-575. |

Seriously: You have the opportunities to approach Vortech for some special engineering. Any chance for a super-quiet charger variant for VT1 and VT2-550 kits ? I expect running this kit with 4 psi should provide 500-520 bhp . Just a small amount of boost, low IAT's, a serious power increase and quiet operation is all what I'm looking for. I had to learn that stroking the S65 is not an option for me, currently. Thanks, Eugen |

Great job guys, you guys are truly making it easier by providing so many options. 5lbs with intercooler and 550hp sounds great.

The V3Si we use is already virtually impossible to hear with the hood closed. Noise is not an issue at all with the existing SC unit IMHO. |

Web videos does not really represent actual noise levels well due to the excessive frequency amplification often seen. In real life the V3Si unit can hardly be heard with hood closed. From inside the car it is completely inaudible. I suggest you test drive a ESS VT equipped car and see for yourself.

There is also no blow off sound when off throttle. When really stomping on it, ad changing gears with DCT at 8300rpm, then you can hear a slight whistle, buts it's very discreet, no boy racer shit. Just one question: What is the hardware difference between a VT2 550, 575 and 600? I know the software tune for all three is identical (good for 4,5-7lb boost), fuel injectors are the larger size for all three. The only difference as far as I can see, is boost pressure and pulley size right? I realise that the VT2 625 has a new tune good for 7,5lb boost, and even bigger fuel injectors than the 535,550,575 and 600 kits. Here's vid of mine idling: Last edited by Bob MG; 06-19-2010 at 10:41 AM.. |

Hi AJ.. How are ya? You must remember me from the 330 ZHP with the ASA Supercharger (Charcoal grey 2003 in Cali). I bought a new M3. How is that supercharger running on the new M3 Motor compared to my older Supercharger on my 330 ZHP? We had a major dip problem if you remember on that 330 ZHP and I seem to see a small one here as well on this unit. Can you chime in...? |

575 and up uses a higher spec bypass valve than 535/550 as well. And finally, the pulley configurations differ between stages. |

I wish I could get you out to me to do the DCT tune and upgrade to 625. Power is so addictive, making 500whp now on 5,8psi boost. I can only imagine what 7,5psi and 580whp must feel like. Loving every minute of my SC. You guys have made such an impressive kit |

I barely hear it aswell , super quiet !! The exhaust has more of a note....(@idle )
And driving it you would never know there was a supercharger on the car , once you romp on it then it a different story .. The things that I love most about my kit is , 1) smooth smooth smooth power band !! 2) quiet , very quiet 3) how stock the hardware makes the engine bay look !!! 4) this is where it I get my kicks :::: the power :::: And bob I'm sure If you provide a plane ticket and a nice dinner w/ a bottle of wine ( AJ's choice ) anything is possible , hehehehehhe Last edited by m33; 06-19-2010 at 03:27 PM.. |
