ESS Centrifugal Mustang Superchargers

[lkeltner]

So i'm not setting any track records but for those of you concerned about ESS and 20min track day sessions being too much on the car.
CHTs got up to 241*F when running in third gear for most of the track (staying in boost most of the time) shift to 4th in a few spots, back down to 215 no problems
stock GT PP1 radiator, stock diff, no cooling for diff, stock clutch with 55k miles on it
oh and my personal favorite bone stock 5w-20 motorcraft semi-synthetic oil. i believe what blows most of the OPGs in these cars are the ppl running higher oil but that's solely opinion based and unfounded without any research. to me it's like sucking a milkshake thru a straw instead of milk. i'll continue to run the stock oil with no oil cooler or anything different from stock configuration and i'll let you all know if/when i blow it up on track *shrugs*

i WILL say this tho, i feel like i'm one of the few guys left running stock 'headers' and stock cats so i think that's where my cooling issues are coming from. the LTH's with a removable cat setup for track purpose is probably a MUST HAVE at this point.

I've also decided to keep my oil at stock thickness since I run this car around town all the time and spend most of the time out of boost anyway.

Whats everyones opinion on boostane?

I ran it when we were diagnosing whether my knock was fuel related or something else being bad since it would just pull timing like nuts on 91. (with the bottom end kit)

The car ran like stupid with boostane. like a whole different animal. Made it a fuel issue. I've since found a single station in town that runs 93 so I'm on that and it's better, but I have a bottle in the trunk just in case I need it.

If you don't want racecar smells, get the UPR can that was in the second link and leave everything else alone

FYI you still get racecar smells with the UPR dual valve. I've given up trying to get rid of them. They are way diminished though. If you have a sensitive nose like I do, then it's just part of the game.

Yeah, I would think so, but no where near as bad as the Vented lol

I will say that going with a quality 30R7 5/8 line instead of the stuff UPR puts in the kit makes a HUGE difference.

I went with this from Gates and it cut the smell down immensely.

Also makes sure you have all clamps super tight.

"Hello sir, we've been trying to reach you about your catch can options on your car"

*snicker*

Would you like a catch can with that?

Do any of you notice a whining type of noise from the rear when in 6th gear (manual) and hold the gas to cruise around 2k rpms? Sortve like a diff whine or maybe fuel pump noise? Its only there when i give it any amount of gas. Im not sure if this noise came before or after the ess install

I've seen this happen when the ring gear in the rear end is worn, whenever any amount of torque is applied it will make noise but when just coasting it is quiet

This over the continental lines from the UPR Kit?

With this, i mostly wanted to let the people that are terrified about what oil is on their car when they do the supercharger that the stock stuff is going to be fine.
But given the information from @Proshop and @HAVOC_5.0 about e85, only a FEW nut jobs i know rip the entire car apart and go e85 with a new engine, tires and whatever else you could possibly change to make the car completely different than anything you're used to probably want higher oil if you're like them out the gate. Psychos...
