Planning ahead for boost, I have some questions.

[CorvZ061]

I’m planning ahead to start making the necessary mods for boost. A few questions to determine the method that takes place. For what the car has now, 20x10” Velgen VF10 wheels, stock springs, FRPP shocks/struts, Steeda stop the hop kit and sways, Corsa active exhaust.

I’m leaning heavily towards the ESS G3 with upgraded IC to compliment the A10 and 3.15’s. Any reason to not go this route? The car is a daily driver for now, but I also have plans of getting a daily.

I am still considering a Whipple, but I don’t think it would be worth the extra $. It seems to me like the centri better suites the high rpm Coyote.

I keep reading about the cat issue, I’m reluctant to do so headers with the Corsa Active because it’s going to be stupid loud. But I keep reading about cat failures. Are these failures a very common thing? If so is it mainly on cars running E85 or tuned for max power? If it’s super common then I’ll plan appropriately and add some bullet mufflers in my Corsa system to nock the edge off.

What kind of power with a stick gen 3 Coyote hold without too much worry? Building an engine is not something I plan on in the immediate future. I’m in the middle of building a 632 for my other car and not really interested in building 2 at once.

Well a PD and Centri are two different animals, so it depends on your goals and wants, so to speak. What HP are you planning to rn at and your future HP goals? The ESS would definitely be a less costly route to go but, how are you planning to drive, street only, drag, road course or a mixture. I would sugest you do searches on this forum on this subject for their are very informative threads on this subject. Good luck

Mainly street and some fun in the mountains. Not likely to be on a drag strip, I have a better car for that. It may find its way to Road Atlanta at some point but nothing competitive.

Any issue with smog and/or inspections either now or future?

whipple has that chit down for the smog states

No sir I live in a non emissions county, with no intentions to move to one.

Blown cats is a real thing. It happened to me with catted LTHs and E85. My power adder of choice was nitrous. Here’s the result of that failure (sound clip included).

I was planning on using green cats if I have to go headers. I’ll need to do some research on that one. I’d prefer to not go catless if possible, but if that’s needed, then so be it.

I believe there are some very expensive cats on the market that cost something like $4K-$5K. I forget what the brand is, but they’re out there. FYI, at the time of my failure, I want to say I had about 7K miles on my car.

I think factory GT cats are at risk too when boosted. Maybe consider sourcing some GT500 cats. If they hold up on the 500, they may work fine for you with boost.

Corsa extremes careless will be extremely loud I have a vmp stage 2 2650 blower on e85 catted greens with borla s type exhaust headers n it's stupid loud active exhaust

I run the G3 w/ G3 Intercooler, 100mm pulley, E85 (should be close to 900whp)... been on there for almost 2 years now, over 16k miles since being boosted and no issues yet with my stock cats or opg. I think you will love the G3, especially with that A10.. my car feels fast to me and I couldn't imagine if it was an auto, they are so much quicker.

I think you need to worry more about what your A10 can handle vs the engine. If you go E85 and 110mm I think you'd be fine for a long time, but then again, you never know, anything can happen. That A10 will most likely go out before the motor, imo.

That’s something I haven’t read much on. I’ll definitely do some digging to see what the A10 can handle.

I see a few guys with them start having issues once they start running the 100mm, on the ESS Facebook groups. Not everyone, but quite a few that I've seen. Just something to think about.

Whipple gen6 with BAP and id1050x from @beefcake is $8248.

ESS g3 with BAP, IC upgrade, tialQ and id1050x is $7820.

$428 difference. I'm really not a whipple fan but would take that over ess any day. Why you ask? Have you seen a ess kit in person? Head unit looks like a toy and piping is all silicone versus hard pipe. If it was cheaper that the competition, lesser quality is assumed and justified. But at $7820 it does not appear to be the cost effective kit that maybe it once was.

i haven’t seen one in person yet. But I’d that’s the difference then while may be the move.

I have a good friend of mine trying his best to convince me the Hellion street sleeper kit is the way to go to. But after adding billet wheel 62/62’s and a fuel system it’s $11k

Don't forget boost control for turbos and $1500 in tuning for all systems talked about. The reality is, get what you want. We have lots to choose from.
