EOI: M62 VF supercharger kit

[jeffbebe 1559]

Specs here: http://www.beastpower.com/p/bmw/vf-engineering-supercharger/VF-BE39-540-SC-S1

Looks like this installed:

I have all parts and belts (to fit an E39 540i) but am missing the pod filter - though you'd probably want a new one anyway. The charger is used but has only done around 30,000kms. MattA's done some checking and it require a fair bit of modification to fit an M60 but not impossible.

It currently lives in my office:

Looking for offers over $5K.

Damn! If i hadnt just spent all my pocket money on a manual conversion i would be very keen! How much faster is your office now that its supercharged?

But think of the safeness and efficiency gains!

Hi Julian..presumably this would still require the ecu be sent to the states?

If you want the VF tune, yes. The PO said it was pretty average and recommended a custom tune. I would have installed in my 540 already but was waiting for hi velocity to reopen.

Hi Velocity will be back in action in around 3 weeks according to a reliable source...

i wonder if this would work on S62's .....

[jeffbebe 1559]

The short answer is yes... But I doubt any of the M62 mounts and pipework would fit, so you'd need to custom build a lot of it. Probably cheaper and easier to buy a VF S62 kit.

[M5V8 337]

that does look sweet in there... doesn't it. ahhh..... booooooooooooooooooooooooost

[jeffbebe 1559]

500+ bhp. Might need some better brakes!

[jeff002 23]

It seem the inlet manifold is different.500+ is what I wanted.

[Michael. 2312]

As far as I know this kite is missing the string, but easily sourced at a hardware store.

I will be purchasing a new unit in the next few days ,plz get intuch asap…I'm not f**ken time waster

[jeffbebe 1559]

Sorry John, that kite has flown but you could try contacting Brent. He bought the kit from me and, as far as I know, hasn't installed it yet so may be willing to sell if the price is right.

Will be keen to see how you get on with this. Im going to be writing up a few pages on mine when I do it next year. Also have a full build diagram on the RMS intake system for the M62. Going to try build my own haha

[Michael. 2312]

Just make sure you use industrial strength string Francois.

Strength string?

Any able to help track down some extractors…I'm trying too also find me a decent exhaust ,iv all ready removed cats and at present running free flow after motor back to factory muffler be for diff into a flow master its a bit droney

[jeffbebe 1559]

Lose the Flowmaster - piece of crap and will never sound good and probably worsens rather than improves performance. The drone is there because you removed the factory Y resonator. Keep it, it's by far the best design to keep the cabin drone to a minimum. Then get a decent performance muffler (Eisenmann, Supersprint, etc).

Expect to pay $1-2K for a decent setup.

[john penhale 2]

yeah it sounds drone,is the resonator your talking about the one before the diff as it is still there

[jeffbebe 1559]

Marked on here...

If you've still got it and it still sounds droney then either get some high flow cats or small resonators where the cats were. The Flowmaster will also create drone because it's crap.
