ESS Centrifugal Mustang Superchargers

[frestylmotox01]

There is definitely more acceleration before the 3500 rpm, but it's not as noticeable compared to after 3500rpm. I'm not sure if the smaller unit with a smaller pulley would help that at all. But my understanding is it's the nature of the centrifugal super charger. If your looking for below that, it's probably better to go with a PD type blower. I chose the centri because I wanted to maintain close to stock drivability when I'm not horsing around.

Impeller and volute size are larger. G3 comes standard with a cast impeller, you can upgrade to the G3 X-trim for the billet impeller.

Brevin, is that a change. I thought I have seen Old You Tube Videos saying the G3 And G4 were both billet?

Yea, I thought that the G3 was a billet impeller when I ordered, was that not the case?

You have to select X-trim for the billet impeller.

For some reason I thought it was mentioned that all of the G3 stuff was billet earlier this year, but would be changing to cast later. @Brevin@ESS, can you confirm either way?

They are referring to the gearcase housing

Ah, thanks for the clarification. Either way, I'm still happy with my kit and would recommend it to anyone looking for a centrifugal setup.

Brevin, does the X Trim perform noticeably better than a standard impeller ?

Brevin, does the X Trim perform noticeably better than a standard impeller ?

This is per my converstion with AJ from ESS:

"The standard G3 can do ~900whp without much effort. The X can spin faster and we have seen them up another 50-75whp when span at full RPM with the 10PK drive system and 90mm pulley. Personally I would run the normal G3 kit with 105mm pulley and mid 800whp and call it a day. Crazy power, low cost and it is still driveable on the street as long as you have good tires."

X-trim will simply allow for more blower rpm. The x-trim and the cast G3 impeller are the same design just different materials. So the performance is the same until you reach the rpm limit of the cast impeller.

I've been reading through this entire thread over the course of a couple months, and was initially sold on the Procharger P1-X before hand, but after I talked with Brevin, my tuner and you all's trial and error I finally ordered my G3 KIT with a 120mm Pulley yesterday. Car is a GEN 2 FBO, will be going Fuel system and E85 later on in the year. Just recently installed Ben Calimer Stage 3, Lethal LPXHD, Alum D.S. etc. Any other stick cars out there enjoying the kit? Looks to be top notch quality, and thus far the customer service on dealing with ESS has been solid. Looking forward to it!

My car is a 6 speed and I'm enjoying the kit alot, I've got a gen 3 pp1, so different gearing and transmission, but its a great kit and I'm happy with my choice.

Seems like it operates like stock until around 3500? First time centrifugal this way.

 

[frestylmotox01]

Yes, in my experience it's very similar to stock, a nice linear acceleration. Below 3500 it's pretty docile, I can feel a little extra umph, but all of the real fun begins above 3500 rpm.

it been raining solid here in NZ, so at 3800ish rpm I can only tell you I go sideways
