When I was comparing the ESS kit to the Procharger kits that a vendor here offers, it was cheaper till you added the tuning device and tune into the equation. The Procharger setup came with a canned tune, so ultimately if you were going to stick with that, the Procharger was probably cheaper in...
Thanks, I love how it turned out, though I'm actually thinking of swapping to the gold Mach 1 HP wheels that SVE has now. Might be time to change the setup a little, as I could use some more rear tire since I added the supercharger.
When I did SVE wheels, I went with the 19x10's all around and used 285/35/19 size tires. I found that there was too much wheel gap and wound up lowering the car on min drop springs to fix it since it looked odd to me. I had made a post about it because it annoyed me to look at it after spending...
I also have the Steeda jacking rails, as others have said, def not a necessity, but I'm very happy with them and would purchase them again. It's nice being able to jack up one side of the car from the center, with more surface area, and not destroying the pinch welds or having to look for the...
I'm looking at adding a snow performance kit to my ESS G3 kit car and I'm curious to how everyone likes it so far? I'm also looking for a recommendation on where to install the nozzle since the ESS kit is all silicone tubing except where the filter connects and where the MAF sensor is. Would it...
I struggled with the same thoughts and I ended up with the G3. I think for the modest cost delta that you get more room for the future if you want more power. I figured that it would be great to start with a 120mm pulley and then see where I ended up, having grabbed the G3, if I decide I want...
I have the Mishimoto Expansion tank, while it is compatible, I noticed that I had to adjust the coolant line from the motor to the expansion tank a bit, I wasn't able to seat the hoses fully on either side, but because both are pretty long, it didn't matter and there was plenty of space to seat...
I've been waiting for them to come back in stock, I was able to nab one yesterday, waiting for it to arrive. I've read a lot of positive things about it. I'll let you know once I receive it next week.
Overall I really liked the design of the ESS kit, it was minimal permanent modification to the car.
The plumbing is very short and efficient IMO.
No it didn't need a crank pulley modification, which I was happy about, easier install. It's also a pretty light kit compared to a pd...
I haven't yet, I'm working on scheduling an appt, but I've not had the weather to get passed the initial break in, I'm hoping to get that done this week and schedule the appt.
