This group buy will be running for both the 996 and 997 Carrera crowd so the overall discount will be combined with purchases for both models!



Having used all forced induction systems on the market for the Porsche 911 Carrera, including our own designed turbo kit, the VF Engineering supercharger system is hands does the best upgrade you can get. If you are starting your mod process, continue reading. If you have already added mods, the only thing you need to retain is your Exhaust System. So, what are the first things people tell you to buy? Exhaust, Headers, Intake, ECU Flash. Right there that is spending just over $4000. Add in a plenum and you have just spent about $5000 without installation. Here is the thing... The VF Engineering supercharger adds in a true 150HP gain realized on a stock 997 Carrera. All those mods are not cumulative.





So what do you get from VF Engineering for your 911 Carrera?

• ECU Tuning
  
• Upgraded Injectors
  
• Vortech V3 Centrifugal Supercharger with self contained oil
  
• Porsche OEM GT3 Front Radiator for air to water intercooler
  
• Supercharger CNC Machined Bracket
  
• Roto Molded Black Plastic Intake Tube
  
• All required hardware - You need NOTHING Else
  
• 6psi of boost taking you to an 11sec 1/4 mile

Details on the hardware:

The VF-Engineering designers set about designing the billet supercharger mounting bracket with CAD software creating solid models of parts to be CNC manufactured. The bracket was designed to utilize OEM bolt patterns and requires no alteration or relocation of any engine parts to be fitted. Made from 6061-Tx aircraft grade aluminum the bracket mounts to factory machined surface points on the aluminum engine block for a precision fit.



A V3 model Vortech Engineering supercharger unit was chosen after consultation with Vortech engineers and matching the engine’s volumetric efficiency with supercharger compressor maps. The V3 unit contains helical-cut gears for super quite performance – virtually silent with the engine compartment lid closed. The V3 supercharger has a 20psi and 1000cfm maximum capacity and is an over-engineered part for this Porsche application which is geared to produce a conservative 6psi in the engine’s intake manifold.





The fastidious design of the supercharger bracket, positions the belt driven supercharger to maintain use of the OEM spring loaded belt tensioner. The serpentine belt routing was designed to maintain the correct rotation of all the accessories and maintain optimal pulley wrap for maximum friction.



The Vortech air to water intercooler (charge cooler) was integrated into the tight fit engine bay as means of reducing charged induction (boost) temperatures. Lower charge temperatures promote engine safety by reducing knock and improving the quality of the combustion cycle. Air charge (boost) from the supercharger is directed through the chargecooler core before entering the throttle body. The cooler core contains isolated channels circulating with water from a separate self contained system cooled by its own radiator. VF-Engineering integrated a Porsche OEM front radiator and front bumper vents into the kit. Water is circulated by means of an added OEM Bosch water pump through OEM Good Year water lines. Intake air temperatures in the manifold were measured to be approx 140 deg F even with ‘spirited’ driving at 118 deg F ambient temperatures in Arizona desert conditions mid-Summer. This dramatic drop in charge temperature helps the 997 create consistent power. For added safety the chargecooler is designed to perform continuously whilst the ignition is on.



With all major components in place, the head of R&D at VF-Engineering set about shaping the air ducts from the filter to the throttle body. The intake pipe is specially tuned for its air flow characteristics and pressure relief system. Production pipes are manufactured from a lightweight molded high temperature polymer. The thermal insulating properties of the plastic pipes prevent heat transfer into the cooled charged air traveling inside them.



Engine management software was by written by VF with extensive testing performed on independent test cars. Multiple factors such as charge air temperatures, ignition timing, fuel trims, maps and injector performance were taken into account. The Carrera 2 and 4 test vehicles were extensively dynoed on the VF 4WD Mustang and monitored for wide band air fuel ratios at load levels often greater than would be experienced on the road. The results are an increase of 120 horsepower and 80 ft.lbs of fully useable torque.



This product is not compliant with the California Air Resourse Board and not for use on public roads in California. This applies to any aftermarket product that does not display a CARB EO#.

 

I have already ordered mine to VF Engineering since nobody responded when i asked for a group buy...

 

Sorry about that sir. We have been in the works for getting this posted.
If there is anything I can help you with please don't hesitate to ask.

 

how many have been purchased on this group buy thus far?

 

I will let you know as soon as the first tier is reached

 

go fast!

keep the pm's coming folks

 

Anyone know what's the installation pricing like in any reputable shopping NYC?

Also I've been in the market for a GT3 or Turbo. If I buy a Carrera S how do you think it would stand next to the gt3 and turbo Porsche with this kit installed of course? Feedback please?

 

You will be faster than a gt3rs mk2 but away than 997tt.

 

No kit for 997.2 s?
What is the cost? you only mention the discount, or it was there and I missed it

 

I'm starting the process of looking into this mod for my 08 C4S. Does anybody know if the numbers they are getting are with a stock exhaust, or will I have to do exhaust and cats also. Unfortunately the guy I was hoping would help me with this install is no longer around. Who can do an install in the Long Island area?

 

Installation prices range depending on the shop of your choice, but Book Time for labor is 16-18 hours. PM me if you'd like a list of VF-Authorized installers.

We can't comment how it will stand against those cars, because we have never done any actual testing ourselves against those cars. It's fast though

The numbers we provide are for a 100% stock Carrera. No modifications or fabrications are required to produce our advertised horsepower. In fact we advertise slightly lower horsepower due to customers' varying maintenance and individual motors.

As long as you are up-to-date with all your routine maintenance, you may expect the power we quote.

Sorry, but i just read about this great kit today...
I have two questiopns.
1st which will be the price and delivery time?? I have a 06 C4S
2nd... does the ECu tuning will work Ok at high altitude??? Mexico city...

thanks...
