Overview

The ESS Tuning VT2-650 is an intercooled supercharger system designed for the BMW M5 and M6 S85. It features a self-contained Vortech V3Si supercharger unit capable of up to 775hp, a custom cast aluminum manifold with a high-capacity liquid intercooler, and Bosch Motorsport injectors. The system includes ESS E-Flash OBD2 software for optimized engine control, including ignition timing, throttle response, VANOS, and fuel delivery.

The VT2-650 system provides a smooth power delivery, maintaining stock-like drivability until power is demanded, at which point it offers significant acceleration. It supports SMG and manual transmissions and requires 91AKI/95RON or higher fuel. The system is compatible with E60/E61 M5 and E63/E64 M6 models from 2005-2010 and comes with a 2-year, unlimited mileage warranty.

Show original supplier description
The ESS Tuning VT2-650 is a high-performance intercooled supercharger system specifically engineered for the BMW M5 and M6 equipped with the S85 engine. It features the self-contained Vortech V3Si supercharger unit, known for its robust performance and capability of handling up to 775hp. Central to the VT2-650 system is a specially developed cast aluminum intake manifold that integrates a high-capacity liquid intercooler. This intercooling solution ensures optimal air charge temperatures, maximizing performance and engine longevity. The kit also includes ten larger Bosch Motorsport fuel injectors (Spec 2) to supply the increased fuel demands, precisely managed by the custom ESS MSS65 Alpha-N engine control software. This software is dyno-tuned to provide perfect ignition timing, quicker throttle response via recalibrated EGas, optimized VANOS control, and perfectly matched fuel delivery. The VT2-650 system operates at 7 PSI of boost and is compatible with both SMG and manual transmissions. It requires premium fuel (91AKI/95RON or higher) and is designed for use on E60/E61 M5 and E63/E64 M6 models manufactured between 2005 and 2010. The installation process is estimated to take 14-18 hours and can be completed using standard hand tools without requiring any irreversible modifications to the vehicle. A key feature is the included ESS E-Flash OBD2 cable option, which allows users to upload the supercharger ECU software directly from any Windows PC. This system also provides full diagnostic and code-clearing capabilities, and future software updates can be easily loaded. The original ECU software is saved and can be restored at any time. The entire system is backed by a comprehensive 2-year, unlimited mileage warranty, underscoring ESS Tuning's commitment to quality and durability.
