No I did not,my car only has 15,000 miles on it!
Why did you change yours?
If you did,wht did you chnage them too(new stock ones)?

Thank you Stacy.
Personally, I won't say it is good. My last reply was April 2nd May be I didn't get the correct person for this technical question. In China & Hong Kong, almost all 911s are Tip. I know it is more fun with a manual, but manual cars are very hard to re-sell.

Just a quick question for people with the V3 kit, anyone did a dyno ? What is the rwhp on a 997s ??
I wonder if it is more than the 440rwhp on 4.5psi boost V1 ?

 

the supercharger sits on the chasis and you get a vibration in the ****pit, the motor mounts were custom made to lift the engine a inch. my car has only 23,000 miles and its a 99!

 

My technician told me he has to raise the engine slightly to avoid the supercharger hitting the body parts. Wonder if it is so difficult to improve the design.

 

I run the orginal mounts on my 99 and have plenty of room between compressor and chasis. Your mounting bracket might have been machined incorrectly.

 

Thanks, I wonder if you change to hard engine mounts ?
Any maintenance tips on the SC car ? change oil every 5,000 miles, spark plugs, clean air filter, ... ?
Thanks, silk

 

i dont know? the only thing that i know that the supercharger is on the chasis.

 

it's a common problem with the VF SC kits... i had to get custom solid mounts too to give the bottom of the SC clearance with the chasis

 

Hi Wai,
We have spent many hours communicating with you to help your technician install your system. We kindly ask you again to contact us direct for any tech support as nobody knows the VF Engineering system like we do.

Really? A common problem? 200+ other customers have not complained of this to date. Maybe if the factory mounts are warn, I could see that being an issue.

First I heard of it. Are you sure that the compressor was actually hitting the body or maybe it just looked like it did? There should be a measurable amount of space between the two and even a weakened mount should not put it in contact with the frame.

 

hahah it arrives in a cooler lol

 

SPENT MANY HOURS COMMUNICATING WITH ME !
That's a joke !! On 4/16, I emailed you my 'part list' asking for the missing radiator adaptors and plugs, NO REPLY !
Then I got Nik Saran @ VF email me on 4/28, I asked again for the missing parts and NO REPLY as usual. I sent another email on 5/6 to Nik Saran @VF to ask for reply, as usual - NOTHING again.
That is customer service, may be I'm not considered as a customer of VF because I buy from RPM North group buy.
My car has been sitting at the mechanic shop for 1+ month waiting for clear instruction reply, I was lucky to have a good mechanic who got it done without any help from VF.
