Need Power? Dont Want to Spend a Fortune?

We have some amazing news if you are bored with the horsepower of your 996 Porsche Carrera 99-04 and dont want to spend a fortune! The VF Engineering Supercharger kit for the Carrera now has a new LOW price exclusively from Vivid Racing for orders placed through today till 11/1/12. View the VF Supercharger Porsche Kits Here and Add To Cart then redeem coupon code NEWVF to see the new low price.

Having used all forced induction systems on the market for the Porsche 911 Carrera, including our own designed turbo kit, the VF Engineering supercharger system is hands does the best upgrade you can get. If you are starting your mod process, continue reading. If you have already added mods, the only thing you need to retain is your Exhaust System. So, what are the first things people tell you to buy? Exhaust, Headers, Intake, ECU Flash. Right there that is spending just over $4000. Add in a plenum and you have just spent about $5000 without installation. Here is the thing... The VF Engineering supercharger adds in a true 150HP gain realized on a stock 996 3.6L Carrera (3.4L 130HP, both with 93octane). All those mods are not cumulative. So you might, maybe, gain a total of 40-50 wheel horsepower!


So what do you get from VF Engineering for your 911 Carrera?
  • ECU Tuning
  • Upgraded Injectors
  • Vortech V3 Centrifugal Supercharger with self contained oil
  • Porsche OEM GT3 Front Radiator for air to water intercooler
  • Supercharger CNC Machined Bracket
  • Roto Molded Black Plastic Intake Tube
  • All required hardware - You need NOTHING Else
  • 6psi of boost



Back when I had a 996 Carrera, I used a supercharger that was a roots style. The car made a solid 100whp and felt good, but whined like crazy. (Watch Here) It was fun, but we moved on to the 996 Turbo. A year ago we decided to create a turbo kit for the 996 and 997 to put a quality, power producing kit on the market that had the best fitment and tuning. We did, but soon realized the installation became issues with shops because of the complexity of the parts. So as a partner with VF Engineering, we choose to focus on their product as the installation, performance, and quality could not be replicated.

Over the past year, we have sold 24 supercharger kits for the 911. The best part about it, no need for after care. The kits and tuning are flawless. Though, we personally offer top level support to our customers and installation shops that need assistance. With full detailed pictured instructions and more then 500 supercharger kits sold globally since the inception of the 996 kit, VF's full engineering approach to the supercharger kit is of OEM quality.

Wanting a supercharger kit for my E90 BMW M3, I did not want to have the same experience I did with my 996. So I took the chance and put a VF620 kit on my car. No noise, super linear, and made literally, no BS, to the wheels 162rwhp! Read article here.

As a VF Engineering product user, and Porsche fanatic, I can say convincingly that for the normally aspirated Porsche 911 Carrera, there is no better money spent for horsepower and reliability then putting a VF Engineering Supercharger Kit on!

Contact me for questions, comments, install help, pricing, fitment, etc!

To install this kit you are looking at about 25 hours. That is very fair and similar of what it would be to install for example a full turbo kit, fuel simple, FMIC on a EVO.

Install instructions for the 996 and 997 are basically the same. Here you go - http://www.vividracing.com/productdo...cheinstall.pdf

Anything can be made to fit... however it will be hard to support it if there are clearance issues.

Yeah

Tight fit
But looks stock
And enjoying beating unsuspecting 911's etc
But more umph would be fun
