Hey guys so i just got the ESS full S/C kit installed and let me tell you its a nice kit tuning is smooth the power is great parts are good quality just top notch all around. Not only did i want to thank this forum but @Big Jimbo & @CyanideRide for all their answers to some of my questions i had along the way. Which brings me to this question.......For anyone with the ESS S/C or Weistec or any for that matter how are all of you guys measuring or logging boost? After my install we were unable to log boost on the dyno, all A/F ratios were good and the hp & tq graph is great but we couldnt log boost. They couldnt log electronically due to the 1Bar MAP sensor & even tried a manual guage on both vac lines and still nothing is there a specific port to use on the blower to log or are we missing something completely here? Im currently running the 75mm pulley (7psi). Thanks in advance guys

CyanideRide

Nice, but this post really needs PICTURES

I recall someone mentioning that they had to tap a hole in somewhere? (my mind is abit foggy on the details so perhaps wait for someone to respond before trying anything)

Congrats on the newfound power!

HAHA ill try my damdest to post a few pics brotha! I too thought i read somewhere about tapping into it too i cant find it though.

Super clean factory like install

CyanideRide

Very nice!

Any issues?

I'm still trying to figure out how to mount the assemblers signature back on the motor

icon420

turner catch can installed as well

icon420

HAHAHA! No issues at all did a 400km break in and started giving it full pulls and all is holding up great so far, all temps stay in check, tranny is happy so far. The only thing showing real abuse is the poor rear tires

CyanideRide

Nice! does that catch can have the built in dipstick?.

Clean way of mounting it too, I should change mine up :/

icon420

It does! Hard to tell in the pic but theres a knurled knob on top to unscrew it and check it and on the bottom we put a fitting with a hose and valve out the bottom to where the oil cooler drain is too so youd drain both at once there.

CyanideRide

I noticed that right away

I have the weistec catch can and I have to unscrew it to check the level and empty it out.

I'm hoping to see video soon

Are vendors still able to source these? I thought they stopped making them.

A few people have asked me this and i just tell them i contacted ESS directly and had them ship right too my door. It was a smooth and easy transaction and they helped with any questions right aways too AJ was excellent to deal with. And still is as i keep bugging him about a few things lol

What charger does the ess kit use?

icon420

2.9L Whipple Gen 4

Made my own pod.

I like that it turned out great!! But im actually talking about a possible port on the blower itself to tap into we were unable to log boost on the dyno through vac lines or the Map sensor because its only 1 bar im looking for a physical port to tie into

jaimejrivera

I removed the top of the supercharger and taped it. There you can read vacuum and boost.

icon420

Thank you that’s what I’m looking for. I don’t suppose you have any pictures you could share? I would need some serious help on where to tap into exactly

jaimejrivera

i did it on the side. Maybe on the back is better to hide it.

icon420

oh wow it’s just that easy! What are you seeing for boost?

jaimejrivera

I also have the 75mm pulley. 7 psi max and rock steady.

icon420

Thats good to hear! Ive been looking at the 72mm pulley possibly thats why i want to know what im running now. Being in alberta i bet im not even seeing 7psi due to my elevation. In AZ where the tuning came from im 1000ft higher than there so i bet i might be seeing 6psi or even less maybe.
