this better be good since it's been yearS...

NYCM3ryder · 02-18-2011, 06:27 AM

wow at only 6lb of boost you get 620hp??? thats niceeeeee

aus · 02-18-2011, 10:11 AM

Are you sure the got the tuning down? Last I heard, the tune was a mess.

J08M3 · 02-18-2011, 10:14 AM

notice how the hood doesn't fit properly over the grilles....

In fact as you watch through the video the hood is not even close to fitting.... Both sides by each grille fits differently and neither is correct... Talk about crappy aftermarket garbage being sold for a ridiculous price. You'd think for the price of these parts that they might actually fit right hahahaha

Isn't that the EAS/VF car? I think everything about that car is horrid. Especially that intake plenum.

GOLFFRR · 02-18-2011, 09:17 PM

looking forward to see how this sc stacks up to the others at mfest drag and track events

Isn't the plenum just a prototype? I thought they were read somewhere that it was going to have a different design? I could be wrong though.

GOLFFRR · 02-18-2011, 09:19 PM

I read that VF is redesigning the manifold. looking forward to more updates

spdu4ea · 02-18-2011, 09:28 PM

Thought VF and GIAC parted ways?

This was related to the e46M3 S1 & S2 Supercharger kits, which are now tuned in house (previously from GIAC). The VF620 kits have not yet been released to the public, but there are a handful of e9x M3s being closely monitored and gathering info before giving the green light on release.

Hardware design phase is now complete and all resources are being directed to final stage tuning being performed in house, as GIAC is not involved in this specific project. GIAC is still quite involved in their Audi programs.

No, we have the Sparkling Graphite e92 M3:

Intake Plenum being used is simply a proof of concept unit during its beta phase, the newly designed manifolds have completed the design phase and are already in production.

More to come as info is ready available.

Sorry for the mix up...I knew EAS had a VF E9X M3.

I hope that is a prototype. It looks like someone put an Xbox on top of the engine.

The EAS car is SWEET!! I've seen it at many meets.

GOLFFRR · 02-19-2011, 10:40 AM
