Updates made to first post!
Check it out. Maintaining the original BMW quality, smoothness and reliability were the key factors in the VF design. VF have harnessed reliability of Vortech superchargers with their 10 years of supercharging experience and worldwide OEM supply contacts to create the ultimate supercharger system for the ultimate driver’s car. Some Background and History of our S54 development: In late 2004, VF purchased a 2005 model M3 and chose to create and test its complete aftercooled Stage 1 kit. A production manufactured aluminum manifold with integrated air-to-water heat exchanger (charge cooler) is provided for added value and greater performance compared to similar air/air systems. Typically used in European Rally cars, air/water cooling is the ultimate in aftercooler technology for on and off the race track. Air/water cooling provides superior cooling ability over air/air without lengthy ducting while creating cooler intake temperatures for more powerful and reliable ignition. The E46 M3 Stage 2 kit [released Feb 08] offers even greater performance via extra boost from a smaller supercharger pulley, replacement stiffer serpentine belt tensioner and upgraded custom stage 2 software ECU flash with larger stage2 fuel injectors and MAF upgrade. This kit requires the use of high performance cats. The test car was setup with Supersprint headers and Euro M3 cats. Drag racing and aggresive back to back peak rpm shifting will likely require a clutch upgrade. 100 octane fuel recommended when used on the race track. A pre-cat wideband air/fuel ratio monitoring gauge is recommended. Onto the Z4M Around 2010, VF decided to change all tuning to be done 100% in-house by VF for VF amidst a bevy of multiple on-going projects. The decision eventually lead to VF-Engineering facilities to now be dedicated to only Research and Design. Through 1000's of miles of real-world testing in various conditions combined with our knowledge and data from our revolutionary air:water cooled E46M3 S54 systems, VF has created the Z4M VF480 (Stage 1) and VF570 (Stage 2) system for the Z4M community who has long been waiting for a new, reliable, high-performing supercharger option with the advanced and superior air:water cooling capabilities. All the aspects of the E46 M3 superchargers are now inherent to the S54 Z4M superchargers. Special to the Z4M You may find that ECU software programming can lead to further complication with shipping, downtime, installation/labor time. VF-Engineering has decided to take the time to include our All-New Hex Flash OBD2 Cable with every kit at no additional cost. The Hex Flash Cable will allows for multiple features: 1) Upload our custom VF-mapping directly to your car via the OBD2 port and your laptop. 2) Do full readouts of the current state of your car 3) Use the cable and Hex Flash software as a fully functional Diagnostic Tool to read any error or check engine lights. 4) Revert to stock software at anytime for any reason. Stage 1 VF480 480 hp / 340 ft/lbs 5.5-6.0 PSI V3-SQ supercharger Cast manifold with slide-in air/water cooled cartridge ECU software flash Stage 2 VF570 570 hp / 380 ft/lb 8.5-9.0 PSI V3-SQ supercharger Cast manifold with slide-in air/water cooled cartridge ECU software flash Please PM, email, or call for Special Forum Pricing Photo credit: Rated M Roadster |

If OEM headers and section1 are kept, I don't see why this won't pass the sniffer. However, visual will still be a bit iffy. Guess it'd depend on the specific inspector/operator

^^^ WGS (what gandalf said)
Sniffer would probably be ok (and in 2013 codes will be ok, no sniffer required). The problem is and has always been the visual, which will most definitely not pass.

Our systems are legal for off-road use only in California. The lack of a CARB sticker fails the visual test. They do pass all emissions and readiness tests except in CA. Last edited by VF-Engineering; 12-04-2012 at 07:07 PM.. |

hi VF...
the si, is the unit rated for more power and has a higher efficiency @ 78%, it also has a CFM of 1150, just 50 cfm off the T trim race units.... the sci trim is @ 75% effieciency and has a CFM of 1050cfm...... The Si is a better unit and can peak with higher boost pressures. Really interested that you guys used the SCI rather than the Si Trim unit.... im guessing at lower boost pressures they perform similarly anyway....However, both producing 10psi the SI trim will make more power as its flowing more. you may want to update your add, as their is no SQ trim unit..... just SI Trim and SCI trim. http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/view.php?pcat=26 thanks for the info and thanks for keeping the thread updated.... great to see another option.

My apologies, let me clear that up. The SCi is more efficient as compared to the S trim. Thanks! http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/view.php?pcat=26 |
