The VF-Engineering management and engineering team derive their experience of high performance supercharging since 1996 in the UK. Working on modern sports cars such as Audi, BMW, Lotus, Porsche and VW in joint and proprietary projects and partnerships with firms in the UK, Switzerland and USA has given VF the opportunity to market product in European, USA and world markets. VF obtains the latest information and has access to new model vehicles as they roll off the production lines in Germany through OEM connections, clients and manufacturers' organizations.
VF-Engineering Advantage:
VF-Engineering works in alliance with industry leaders for the key elements which make up its supercharger systems. Fuel management and supercharger technology are the two major components which VF combines and create a fully tuned supercharger kit to integrate on your engine.
GIAC USA, write proprietary fuel management software which is 'flashed' over the original engine software in the Engine Control Unit. GIAC/VF software is based on extensive testing with new supercharger hardware and feedback given by VF's engineering team. Re-writing the ECU software is one of the fundamental aspects of providing an OEM quality solution for a re-tuned engine by means of forced induction. Also known as chip tuning, this is the same principal as used by all car manufacturers. GIAC USA are an exclusive automotive software tuning house whose expertise spans over 10 years. With contacts in OEM ECU manufacturers, GIAC stay at the fore-front of the latest versions and algorithms used in OEM software.
Vortech Engineering USA, are manufacturers of supercharger units for the aftermarket automotive industry. The supercharger (compressor) unit is the physical heart of VF-Engineering supercharger kits. It is built from a cast aluminum design used in the street, race and drag industries for over 10 years. The patented Vortech design is used in a wide range of applications from industrial blowers to 200+ mph land speed cars and 2500+hp drag cars. VF-Engineering collaborates directly with Vortech engineers in aspects ranging from prototype design and physical integration, to full scale production. This exclusive partnership with the supercharger manufacturer allows VF to offer its un-rivaled optional 3 year unlimited mileage limited product warranty on all major parts supplied with its supercharger kits.
VF-Engineering Design Principals:
VF-Engineering designs and manufactures supercharger systems based exclusively with Vortech Engineering supercharger units and GIAC proprietary software. The centrifugal design supercharger was chosen for its power delivery characteristics and flexibility for retro-fitting. The centrifugal unit gives a strong almost linear power delivery characteristic making it safe for automatic transmissions and high compression ratio engine as boost is introduced into the manifold gradually. The progressive increase in boost gives a feeling similar to that 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, hose clamps and plated high tensile hardware and reprogrammed ECU for optimal lambda (O2).
VF-Engineering integrates both the custom GIAC software and Vortech compressor unit with its CNC machined mounting, drive and engine ancillary systems and custom molded ducting. VF-Engineering manufacturers all CNC aluminum parts and plastic ducting in its in-house state-of-the-art CNC and plastic molding plants. With GIAC, Vortech Engineering and Vendors all located locally to VF-Engineering product development has been streamlined into an efficient process. Simplicity in design and performance is the key spec that our chief engineer strives towards. New car models continue to pass through the VF R&D facility. VF-Engineering is proudly made in California, USA.
