ESS Centrifugal Mustang Superchargers

Had mine out to the track again today to test out the race fuel tune running Sunoco 260GT. The last track outing, my best was a 10.7@136 with a 1.7 60 ft in roughly 2700DA. Today the weather was brutal. DA was 3500 and humidity was over 90%. First pass I managed a [email protected] with a 1.7 60ft. 2nd run was a [email protected]. My best 60-130 on my dragy was a 6.24. Overall pretty happy. Should have some decent weather in a month or so, I'll head back then to see what it does.

Wow you're not far from 9s

Is this on the 11psi pulley?

Im still running the 9.5psi one. Im tempted to order the 11 though for the race fuel tune.

Do it

That's a definite recipe for the 9's what are all of your mods?

@kevinvan6000 How hard does it hit the tires at the track, what is your launch technique and what tire are you using at the track, if you don't mind providing the extra details on your set up?

I'm running 275/40/17 ET Street Rs at 18psi. Car has been cutting 1.7 60fts pretty consistently now. It seems to prefer just leaving off idle and mashing the throttle. If I try leaving at 1500 or 2000rpms, it is always slower. For suspension, I have the Steeda chassis braces, BMR cradle lock outs and BMR RLCA bearing. I'm running the Ford Performance Track suspension kit on my car which I think is hurting the 60ft some. I also disconnect the front sway bar end links when i'm at the track.

I think a 28" tire with a set of Viking shocks/struts, or maybe even the factory shocks/struts could net a 1.5 60ft, which would likely get me pretty close to a 9 second pass. I'm not sure i want to go that route yet as I really enjoy the street manners of the Track kit. I don't want to sacrifice that for a drag specific setup just yet. So I'll throw a bit more power at it and hope that gets me that number. I ordered the 11psi a couple days ago

Just to add I run a 17x4.5 bias ply ET Street Front runner and all my passes have been at full weight. My car is a 300A car so Im guessing around 3700lbs.

I'll have to drop some weight to run that number, however I think I will be ok with low 10's. How's your half-shafts and rear diff holding up to track launches, any broken parts yet?

So far so good. No issues at all.

For those who have performed the install themselves on an '18-up stock intake manifold, I have a couple of questions;

1. Where did you connect the line going from the intake manifold to the bypass valve? My kit came with a T-connection, but I was under the impression that it connects to the hose coming off the intake that usually connects to the intake tube. See image attached below:

2. How much oil does it take to fill the supercharger? Kit came with three, I'm assuming it doesn't hold near that.

Yes that is where I connected the line. It should hold 1 bottle.

Brevin from ESS has corrected me. 1 bottle is too much.

Awesome! Thanks for the reply. What vacuum connector did you use to connect the two hoses since there's a difference in ID diameter?

@Brevin_G4_SS I was unable to get the the K061033 belt (103 7/8") to fit on my 2020 GT on the 125mm pulley. had to go grab a K061037 (104 5/16"), which fits much better and seems to be working well. the kit also came with a T-connector to connect the vacuum line to the BOV, however it just needed a straight barbed reducer. not sure if there are any slight variations between mine and the 18-19s, but just thought I would share my install experience.

I'll second the straight vacuum barbed reducer versus the T fitting that comes with the kit. On 2018 and up the vacuum lines are different and appears to require a different reducer/tee.

Thanks for the feedback,

While the 1037 belt may work it isn’t quite optimal for your setup. It too far extends the tensioner and puts it out of its acceptable range. The 1033 belt is optimal and puts the tensioner in the sweet spot. It can feel tight initially to get on but it will fit and will also stretch a bit after some use. We have verified this pulley combo on 2020 models. It is easier to loop the belt into position and slip it over the smooth tensioner pulley last. This way you are not fighting the ribs on the SC pulley. I would recommend trying the 1033 belt again as it will yield the best results. I’m here to help, let me know how it goes!

thanks for the information!
