Compatibility of VF Superchargers across models
Hi all,
I was surfing fleaBay and came across the following: https://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-E36-E39...kAAOSwVF1aNTRE Seller says that the kit is interchangeable w/ other models, specifically: "For sale is a VF Engineering Vortech Supercharger in good used condition.Was on a 2000 528i with the 2.8 L but the bracketry and supercharger used are the same design for all of the 2.5, 2.8, and 3.0 L BMW engines.BMW computers are coded so the included computer is not guaranteed to interchange in which case you would need to get a tune done to your factory computer by a local speed shop.The brackets are also the same for the big 3.2 L in the M series cars however the oversized factory intake plenum on that engine will interfere with the supercharger requiring additional parts and extensive modification to work." Anyone know if this is true and it will in fact fit on an E85 3.0i? Anything else potentially needed to make this work? Thanks in advance- |

My honest opinion is they will be different. I could be wrong. It deserves some more research before committing. Worth a quick call to VF and ask them?

Yep, I think that's probably the best way to determine, although not sure how willing they'd be given that it's a used unit sold by a 3rd party. But, never hurts to ask! Thanks for the response.
