ESS Centrifugal Mustang Superchargers

[TEXAS HEAT]

Sugar Land area, southwest of Houston

I'm down in Lake Jackson South of Pearland. I would really like to see your set up in person. I'm ready to pull the trigger on this, but would love to see it first hand before I do.

If you get the ESS kit which one will you get? and definitely post your thoughts both positive and negative and if any modifications had to be made to install. I cannot do it until late winter, early spring. Take Care.

If you want to see the Paxton/v3jt I am in friendswood

I'm leaning towards the G2 with the upgraded G3 intercooler and 115mm (8.5psi) pulley for pump 93 application. Will also likely get the 105mm pulley to use for a dedicated race gas tune.

I was originally after the Vortech but was a little turned off by the complex install and then came across the ESS option which appears to be a much more simple install and more affordable option.

I'll have to review the thread; but the vortech was pretty straight forward. There was a little trimming of a couple pieces, but not much.

I did a quick review, does seem to be slightly simpler, but still have very similar installs, as would any centri.

Another edit, they are not any cheaper apples to apples. A 2200SL kit with a bap and 1050x injectors is $1000 more (these items cost more than a grand) than a G3 kit. I'd say they are very similar in price (G3 and Paxton). Again not a knock, good to have options and competition. I do like using more of the stock stuff (I don't like the looks of the vortech water tank).

Out of curiosity only, does anyone know if ESS has the cold-weather limitation like I believe either Paxton or Vortech (can't recall which) has?

There are other factors that also have me leaning towards ESS, one of which is less metal piping, which can be a source of false knock, I like the idea of silicone hoses, pricing, no need to modify the radiator, fewer additional parts (stock overflow tank). All in all the ESS kit just seems to be a much cleaner kit altogether. Personal opinion of course, but it seems to be getting some favorable reviews thus far.

Lol. Another Canadian asking the same question. I asked earlier and someone replied no issues. Procharger is also good to go for the cold. Vortech and Paxton are the same blowers and both have the cold weather / temperature warnings.

Off topic... do you go to any of the cruise nights in the area?

Haha, yep I hate winter with all it's limitations on having fun.

If I knew of any cruises I would ... also have a couple of motorcycles so I've been going on rides with those instead. More fun to be honest.

That's what I want is a system to run on 93 and not have problems. I was thinking about the G3 system just so if or when I switch to E85 I will be good. Good luck

Thanks. Unless you're chasing 1000whp, I think the G2 will serve most enthusiasts well. If you were to run 12psi on full e85 you would likely make over 800whp depending on exhaust modifications.

Oh and btw, I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the G2 kit with the G3 intercooler. I bought Lu47's and a VMP BAP to go along with it. As soon as it arrives, gets installed and tuned, I'll update here.

For the people have bought an ESS kit / got it installed, who have you used for tuning (remotely) or any recommendations? My kit should be here Tuesday and I want to research my other tuning options than who I currently use, since this system is still fairly new to the tuning community. I also have use a SCT device, so SCT tuning support would be preferred. Thanks!

I will be using Lund to tune mine, because they already tune my car. Realistically all they will need from a tuning perspective will primarily be the MAF transfer data, injector size, and whether you are going to use a BAP or not. Should be fairly straight forward like any other centrifugal set up.
