My struggle right now is not jumping ship to the RS3 platform with an Iroz xona turbo......
I DO NOT suggest you run the flex fuel kit with a blower setupOriginally Posted by ritalin
Exactly. If you get it custom tuned w e85 you should be killing it. I would think even 8psi is low considering the weistec boys seem to be 11-12 psi. Maybe Brad can chime in.My struggle right now is not jumping ship to the RS3 platform with an Iroz xona turbo......
You are already pushing the fuel system with blower without e85 adding e85 on factory fuel pumps and lines and 550cc injectors can result in failure
Do not take short cuts
Stock weistec kit runs 9-10psi my friend as weistec use there own crank pulley
ESS 8psi kit is pretty low
couple things.... These ESS kits are complete, they include the new air filters, gaskets and even new intake manifold bolts (they are not re-useable). Maybe some power steering fluid and coolant is all you have to provide
As an aside, unless they have changed it, for the complete kit, the ecus need to get sent to ESS for reprogramming as they dont have a remote or flash tune. However, they were working on it, so it is possible this has changed...

There is someone who is running flex fuel and 10psi with the ESS kit but he has upgraded injectors, fuel pumps and a custom tune.

your car should be dialed in and tuned on right fuel

We agree that the car should have the fueling system and tune to support whatever fuel the car will be using.Originally Posted by gzim335

I am on the list for the complete kit at this amazing price! Ahmad is saving us a lot of money we can use for other mods so if you are on the fence a system this complete with a Gen 3 blower will never be less money. Go for it!

Thanks for setting up this GB, Ahmad
Does the bottom of the ESS SC contact the engine valley? What heat shielding does the ESS unit employ at the bottom near the valley?
Do you have any additional photos of the ESS unit after you opened it up, and of the bottom of the unit?

The bottom of the ESS does not contact the engine valley. It bolts up to the heads but the supercharger has the map sensor bolted to the bottom of it and even that has clearance. There is no heat shielding provided.
The ESS is designed with the supercharger on the bottom and intercooler on top to help with cooling versus what is available from other companies.
I do have pictures of it opened up but I did not take pictures of the bottom. The bottom is just the top of the Gen 3 Whipple supercharger. Here are the pics of the opened up ESS. You can see the large intercooler and why putting the intercooler on top is better for cooling versus sandwiching it between a hot engine and hot supercharger. Feel free to ask me any other questions!

The power steering reservoir is relocated and a replacement reservoir is included in the kit. It bolts to the passenger side head. I can take a pic for you if you'd like.

Is remote tuning a go and is that $1k on top of the existing pricing?Originally Posted by blackbenzz
ESS does not offer remote tuning but we are working with Eurocharged to offer a handheld programmer with remote tuning capabilities for those who do not want to ship their ECU to ESS or want custom tuning. Cost will be $1000 with the handheld..
Quote:
Yes the remote tuning is offered by Eurocharged for $1k on top of existing price. You could opt for the tuner kit and buy injectors and tuning separatelyOriginally Posted by CyanideRide

If something goes south and messes up the engine, if you aren't using ess' tune, (ie using the eurocharged one) what happens with supercharger / engine damage warranty? A handheld tune would be nicer to have...

As an aside, from what I understand, ESS has 2 tunes, their "normal" which one moderates throttle input and controls torque output so it is safe for the pre-facelift transmissions and which most of their c63 stuff comes with. I think they also offer a "open" tune for MCT cars or built transmissions. I don't think the two have been compared on similar comparable cars to see the difference and was wondering if you had heard anything about it or if there were any performance differences? thanks

If you use another tun tuner that voids any warranty.Originally Posted by kavik

Here is the response I received to your second question:
"Standard software has throttle modulation in mid range to help traction issues and avoid transmission/diff problems. This is highly recommended!"
