2013 Gallardo Superleggera LP570-4 Ediziione Technica

VF-Engineering is proud to present this Superleggera that was brought to us directly from Lamborghini Newport Beach with only 50 miles on the ODO. This is the 2nd Gallardo that the owner is having VF supercharge for him. In addition to the Ed. Technica, this is the only Argos Gallardo in the US.

Stock:







Baseline and Teardown up next...

 

UPDATE: Out with the OEM.










Because the kit is 100% bolt-on, the motor does not need to removed to install the supercharger.
Twin Front-mounted radiators and Air-to-water cooling system up next...

 

8 months since your last post?

 

Yes, the computer that these pictures were on decided to no longer turn on. We were finally able to pull the drive and recover most of the files.

 

Front mounted Heat Exchanger Installation


Twin front mounted Bar and Plate heat exchangers for maximum surface area

Passenger side is shown installed w/OEM shroud and water lines connected

Driver side is shown below without the OEM shroud and Cold side outlet not yet connected



Illustration of water flow through Passenger side radiator w/custom mounting bracket installed.


The bracket and assembly shown below was engineered to allow our radiator to fit with the factory engine radiator and the A/C condenser within the OEM shroud


Installed




Air-to-water cooling system diagram

 

Custom MAF housings with K&N air filters assembled


Although very simple looking pieces, countless hours and resources went into creating our VF-Spec custom harmonic dampener and auxiliary alternator drive pulley. Putting together simple billet pulleys was not enough. Precision engineered and perfectly balanced, these pieces come together to provide factory-like drivability and feel at whatever RPM you are driving at.



Ready for S/C assembly to be installed




Once the water lines for the cooling system are plugged into the fittings above (pictured with caps) The inlet and final touches are all that remain.

 

With all of the major parts installed, all that's left are the final touches on the Supercharger assembly.

Custom MAF housings installed in airbox


Vacuum lines fitted and airbox connected to supercharger inlet



Final installation all tied up!


Videos will be up soon!

all gallardos have overheating problem when used on track. how can you make efficient the water radiator that on passenger side? there is a/c radiator too. overheating is only problem for me. i installed 3rd water radiator to middle of others with minimize my luggage. i want more hp. your system is rational for me but i need another solution for cooling supercharger

 

We use a very large water reservoir (~2.5 gallons) and a Bosch water pump to insure continuous water flow throughout the independent cooling system.

An owner of a Supercharged R8 V10 (99.9% identical drivetrain) who tracks his car says he's able to run his car longer than when it was stock.

Another owner of a VF760 Superleggera drives his car very hard in the canyons here in Southern California. During the hot summer days, going uphill, he did experience increased temperatures just as any other normal car would. He's very much enjoyed putting his VF760 SL through its paces.
