ESS Centrifugal Mustang Superchargers

[SheepDog]

I see what you’re saying! So not sure if it has been discussed and I missed it or not. Do you think two cans are better than one? Could one manifold vent fight the other and cause oil and vapors to push back or hold back from one side? Basically two opposing forces fighting each other and the stronger of the two wins.

No because the pressure in the crank case is the same for both valve covers, and the breather on the catch can is eliminating the pressure, regardless if there were some slight imbalance side to side.

Having the dual port can instead of the one I had previously would probably be better, so that you aren't choking down to a single 1/2" or 5/8" hose. I would think 2 separate cans would indeed be the least restrictive though.

Appreciate the knowledge good sir once again!

add yet another happy customer to the list for ESS. I ordered my G2 with G3 intercooler today!! Brevin answered all my questions like i wasn't a moron (very important in my book) and explained all of my concerns with good reasons why i shouldn't be concerned.
Ultimately, the cold weather concern with other blowers was too much for me to worry about. The ceramic bearings in the ESS is a HUGE selling point to me, being that it's cold here most of the year.
Ease of installation is also a huge selling point for me, watched the other install videos step by step at least 3 times over and decided for my first supercharger, the others were just way too difficult for me. I also didn't want to have to drain my entire cooling system, the ESS still cracks open the perfectly sealed system in my car, but there should be less air bubbles to evacuate when the time comes, as you don't drain the whole thing. Less permanent modifications to the car is a big time benefit too.
Went with G2 w/G3 IC, ID1050x injectors, 115mm pulley and BAP. Going to get a conservative tune from Wengerd to start until i get used to it, then i'll have them crank it up a bit. at which point i'll head to a dyno and post numbers. Thanks everyone so much for the information i've been trying to read this whole thread lol it's taking me a while....

Got my car up and running yesterday and was able to get it fully tuned all within a few hours (would have been faster but I was the slow one)… with @Wengerd Performance… his service blows my mind, can’t say enough good things about him. Car is running perfect. I was lucky and had zero hiccups or issues on the first start up.

I don’t take many videos but someone requested to hear the Summit BOV so I tried to get it for him, so figured I’d post it here.. to encourage you guys looking to buy the ESS kit to hurry up and buy!

Definitely was a good choice you made! Awesome vid sounds good now just waiting on my boys @LOL WUT and @gameovergt to make some rollers with pulls!

Have a half tank of 93 left before I go E85 and then to the rollers .

I have way to many vids to post but

Woohoo gonna be a changed car after that!

Man the more I read the thousand pages in this thread the more confused I get with what I need to buy. Got a 21, 10r80, looking to hit 650-700whp safely on pump gas (93). If 700 isn't safe for pump gas I'm fine with 650. Some say G3 with a 120 or 125, some say G2 with a 120 or 115. Would run the G3 FMIC regardless, BAP, GT500 injectors.

Got the J&L oil separator and now I'm reading that's not the right way to go about it and I should get the UPR.

Thought I read here, maybe another thread where people are saying you can't safely get to 700 on pump gas unless you run an octane booster.

Just seems to be a lot of random and conflicting info here.

G3, 120mm, injectors, BAP, tune. Done

And this will be fine on pump gas? I always run 93 but let's just say 91 in case it's not actually 93. And this will be around 700whp? I don't care if it's less if it's staying on the safer side. Just want an idea.

Yes fine for 93. 125mm for 91 octane. It will be close to 700whp. Maybe a touch less.

Sweet. That's what I was originally speccing out on the site anyway. Less is fine if I'm not getting knock. Maybe I'll start at 125. Thanks.

this is directly off their website. Note the pulley sizes and octane. If you bought 93 and it wasn't very pure, you may see positive 1 or 2 off knock and those will pull the timing back into the safe zone. I'm no expert on this, but that's what i gathered from alejandro flores videos on YouTube while he is data-logging.
if someone that knows more about it can step in and explain, but i believe there are about 3 failsafes built in for engine safety?? Also, your tuner can provide a soft rev limit and a hard limit so you likely never hit the hard limit...
Oh
And happy Easter everyone!

Closest dyno is Tuners Inc in Orange Park. Will have to see if can get in soon. Out of mod $. Bought Corsa Active AB to go with Aceletec Resonated X pipe. Car is just to raspy with boost..

You can special order the 122.5 mm pulley.
