Their website says next batch available dec 22nd so I would assume that’s when they will start shipping them again.
Good catch, that wasn't there when I ordered. I got the G3 so I guess I'm waiting until mid january

yeah, they all say pre order now. Iyours didn’t say pre order I would assume that they had them in stock at that time unless you got unlucky and order right when the went out of stock but you’ll probably be the first one to get one when they come back in stock

I just put the 6.5 125mm psi pulley on mine tonight with the colder weather hopefully this will help with traction a little. Curious the boost I run with this an the g3 I’ll know tomorrow.

If your not getting any belt slip should be ok , what are you using on the tensioner when putting on the belt. I use 1/2 pull bar 15mm I’ve hand and slip the belt on the smooth pulley with other. I’m not fighting it much at all.

Hi I was wondering. Is your belt tensioner almost Maxed out or am I looking at it wrong.

Its tight, I'd say around 60-70%, not sure though...was definitely impossible for me to get the recommended size even with a breaker bar on the tensioner and sliding on the smooth idler last🤷🏻‍♂️

That is what most people say. Are you liking your ESS kit? What is your opinion on the quality and fitment compared to other Centi kits? I am leaning towards ESS for people like them and say they build boost quicker then other systems. Good luck

"they build boost quicker then other systems" Is there any info to support this?

I believe its due to the high step up ratio of 4.5:1 compared to procharger's 4.1:1.

Step up ratio is one thing, but that is not the defining factor in building boost sooner as the dynamics of the compressor itself has not been taken into account. Is there real data to support that the ESS blowers build boost quicker/faster that the competition? Not try to pick it apart, but seeking info for myself and the group if that exists. If the data does not exist, its simply a biased assumption. It looks like a great kit and have considered it for my coyote swapped coupe.
