EAS were having issues with their VF s/c on the z4m.... this is why certain kits have been delayed while they work out tune issues.
VF hardware is imo as good as it gets...... im worried about their tunes however.... the z4m is a very different kettle of fish to get right!!!

That was a 420 kit... which they're still working on now, I guess.
Curious to see if any problems arise on the 480.

So the 480 is available w/o tuning issues, but the other two are TBD? Is there ANYONE running the 480 that can share the results, or any proof from VAC? I'd like a unit, but not sure I want to pioneer it without any info at all.

what exactly was it that you experienced?? i think MOST if not all FI cars will heat soak at the track as will an N/A car..... its just different varying degrees of the issue... my Ess set-up gets marginally slower throughout the day on a all day track-day in say 30 deg C heat BUT... it recovers quickly after a short break, never ever misses a beat, never goes into limp mode and always delivers, all i can ask for.... the inter-cooler is HUGE so the only way for really chill things is meth/water injection!!

What is the approx weight of this system with full fluids? Has this been tested on the track for heat management over a long run?
I am interested in this system, normally I don't like forced induction on a track car but if you guys are selling this system it must have proved its worth. I have run you guys a couple times down at NJMP with the porches clubs when you were running the e46

Given the VF system is an air/water cooler and a new system for the z4m, it would be great to see some actual usage results and expectations for heat management at the track. This looks like a great system, it would just be great to see some real world results of use on the z4m at the track with it's smaller than m3 radiator and frontal area. Alternately, I'm happy to be a beta tester if the kit comes at a beta tester discount |

I'll have a build thread in a month or so on the 480 kit... VF and VAC have been great to work with so far!

I think you have the best stance on ARC-8s, and I will be fitting a set in the future because of the way they look on your car! Charge that bitch. |
