This beautiful matte Giallo Horus Huracan is the first to have its V10 engine supercharged to over 800 horsepower and hit the streets in the United Kingdom.
This story starts with a call from a customer asking if we could supply and install a VF Engineering VF800 Supercharger System on his Huracan LP610-4 within a couple of weeks. Having driven, and been walked through the install by VF Engineering on their Huracan a couple of years back we knew the vehicle was similar to the R8 V10s which we're extremely familiar with already (having supercharged a hand full) with a couple of small differences making the install slightly different. Fortunately, VF Engineering had a VF800 kit in-stock and we had space in our workflow to make this customers project a reality!
After a 400+ mile journey from Europe the customer delivered his Huracan with some tasteful factory additions such as the beautiful Giallo Horus Matt Matt paint, Mimmas Forged 20" wheels, transparent bonnet (perfect for looking at the VF800 supercharger) and finally the Sports Exhaust with Black Tips. Next stop, the dyno!
As with all of the VF Engineering supercharger installations, the Huracan was due for a thorough health check prior to work beginning which included some baseline rolling road runs to check the factory output as well as a data logging session in order to see if there were any issues which could be highlighted.
After the health check, its into the workshop to begin the installation of the VF Engineering kit. Being a mid-engined supercar, the packaging is very tight and its difficult to show all of the upgrades the comprehensive VF Engineering supercharger system provides. The most elementary step is to remove the inlet manifold, which is you're familiar with supercharger and the VF Engineering kit, then you'll know that this is where the Magnuson TVS2300 supercharger will be placed.
With the factory inlet manifold removed it lays bare the factory throttle bodies to which the VF Engineering billet supercharger adaptor plate is placed. The supercharger sits just on top of this
Here we have the supercharger placed next to the factory inlet manifold. The Magnuson TVS2300 supercharger will force feed the Lamborghini 5.2l V10 with around 7.5psi of boost, lifting horsepower up by around another 200hp! With around 800 horsepower at the crank, and a lot of low-down torque these supercars will spin wheels all the way through 1st/2nd/3rd gear!
The supercharger is then installed onto the billet plate mentioned earlier
The supercharger pulley, which is a unit from Fluidampr which helps eliminate potentially harmful harmonic vibrations is installed which the supercharger receives its drive from and the charge cooler radiators are installed into each wheel arch, keeping the supercharger coolant consistently cool for lower charge temps resulting a constantly high power output.
one of the final parts of the install is for the larger MAF housings and high-flow K&N filters with socks to be installed, we can then wrap up the hardware install and check over the installation for any leaks or potential issues prior to a shakedown and tuning session on our Mustang MD-500AWD Dynometer.
The final outcome is a Huracan which delivers a HUGE AWHP gain of 189HP at peak and over 200AWHP at 5500RPM. As our dyno is a mechanically linked Mustang MD-500AWD dyno we can safely obtain an AWHP number, unlike other dynos which can damage the front differential as they are not mechanically linked.
