▀▄ eas | e92 M3 Project - VF620 Supercharger 60-130 Times - Part 3

[tom @ eas]

Just after Xmas, we were able to take our M3 out again for some more 60-130 runs.

Run #1 - 6.92 @ 1.4% slope


While making it into the 6s, we were still continuing to have traction problems. In the meantime, our run was submitted over to 6SO for verification.

Just before New Years, we'd figured taking one final crack at things, making a few changes and end off the 2011 year right. Knowing already that power wasn't an an issue, traction was still needed in order to get a competitive time. With that being said, the Yokohamas were removed for a set of Hoosier DOT Drag Radials. Some minor suspension changes were also made and the Challenge front lip (damaged from ETGP) was removed as well.

Run #2


Another flawless performance! The changes seemed to made all the difference, and traction was much improved making a solid 6.56 run.

----------------------

It's been a long road during development of the VF620 kits with VF and EAS, but the end result makes it well worth it. Smiles are present as soon as the driver's door slams shut - preparing for the ending to fire up, and heartbeats skip as soon as it's fired up.

Looking forward to 2012!

Nice work Tom, very impressive!

[tightie]

Extremely impressive.

Don't understand why your car is so heavy. How much weight does the blower add?

You have lighter than stock seats and exhaust.

My car ia an '11 DCT comp loaded, and is barely over 3600 w a tip top full tank. I should be around 3540 with a 1/4 tank of fuel.

The harness bar can't amount to much, so how much does the blower add?

[LostM]

Crazy fast! Very impressive.

[Daft]

Quick!

VF supercharger kit is ~90lbs.

I agree with you on the weights, even the BBK shaved 10lbs off stock. Savings was made up installing the KWs however (added 10lb).

The Recaros shave about 100lb off total weight, and VS harness bar brings back about 70lb. (chromoly). At this point, the most significant savings are from the Akrapovic and Volks.

Great to see these results as I'm weighing the pros and cons of going with VF or ESS. It would be great to see you make the runs in both directions to average out the slope.

Good stuff guys!

both are great choices. Is there a VF car here on the east coast (I think it's in Philly right?), I'll have my ESS kit on in a few weeks I'd be more than willing to line up and get a couple runs in for comparisons sake.

That would be great to see. Which version did you opt for and are you DCT?

[erm324]

ESS VT2-625 fully catless with DCT. I'd mount the slicks too for the run so there would be no traction excuses.

Sure, VAC has a VF620 built M3 in Philly - give them a ring.
