ESS Centrifugal Mustang Superchargers

[andrewtac]

Do you know what boost level theses runs were made at?

I don't I could find them, but I suspect they are all really similar among centri blowers, it is just how they work.

I heard Vortex is better than Paxton because they drive on the passenger side and not the driver's side. Really don't know, one racers opinion. Thanks

Funny as they are the same blower, Paxton is a vortech; Paxton 2200sl=vortech v3jt

turbine blade shape does influence efficiency and pressure gradients even if driven with the same ratio wheel. It's conceivable that ESS is tuned for a different sweet spot. But we should be talking single-digit or low double differences.

Paxton and vortech kits look identical and are placed in the same place on the S550.

Well I guess I misunderstood what the guy told me. I know they are pretty much the same . Thanks

Yes understand that, at best they are probably within a psi or so; and so many variables as well besides the turbine. We'd need the same car to compare on the same day (or conditions) to compare boost versus HP.

Says 13 psi, gen 2 motor with gt350 intake and 3.48 pulley. I have a 2020 I see 12 psi with a 3.375 pulley. We both have catless long tubes, I still have stock none active mufflers and a magnaflow resonator he has more free flowing exhaust. I think I was seeing 10 psi with the 3.48, but don't remember for sure. Looking back the car that made the Dyno pull said 11 psi, 2020 car so right in line with the Paxton. Again not a knock, same results for much cheaper. If the blowers are making similar numbers at similar psi I suspect it had more left in it like the Paxton does; turn it up.

 

[TEXAS HEAT]

Thank you sir!



Not below 50mph even in this Texas heat. I'm keeping traction control on for now and it just lights up and cuts power if you go more than half throttle in 1st or 2nd gear. 3rd gear hooks properly from about 40 - 50.
Will be getting Nitto R2s or MT ET Street Rs for the strip once I'm done with my tuning and dyno sessions

What part of Texas are you from?

I thought the Paxton was more inline with the V7? You're right though - they are Vortech equivalents.

$6400 for the kit + tuning device and tune is a fantastic price. I paid $7200 for my Paxton set-up; including the tune and HPT device (already had a laptop). That said, the G2 is $4,900 roughly w/ the upgraded Intercooler; their site doesn't state a BAP or injectors is included at that price. Add injectors (ID1050x for example) puts you at $5,900 + $400 BAP (Beefcake price for Vortech BAP) is right around $6300 all in. So, a tuning device + tune was $100? Please let me know where I'm missing something because I'm just not seeing it.

With the 18+ you can get away with just updating the injectors to 47 or 56lbs ones if your running 93. I bought my 56lbs ones new from PBD for $200. I picked up a used BAP for another $200.

Ah, appreciate you sharing. I was not following the math at all; assuming a 15-17. Carry on.

For my 2019 I've priced as instucted by my tuner.
G2 kit ( 11psi pulley) with upgraded intercooler $4895
Plugs $79.95
Injectors $199.99
93 Tune $550.00
Total $5724.94

Yea, right here is where I threw myself.
