I witnessed the dyno run too!! It was unreal....
Romen, sorry I didn't get a chance to stay late enough to talk with you... next time.. You should have showed up sooner I'd love to see the 600 or 650 kit in person sometime.

Roman - Any luck on posting the approx weight of the kit? What's the weight penalty to the front end?

A stage one kit would boost around 5 psi which would increase intake air temps about 90 deg F. You will begin to no longer make power with increased boost when your combined air intake temps reach about 212 deg F. This is why it is required to run an air cooling system on kits such as our stage 2 that boost beyond 7 psi. Our stage 2 can make an additional 70-120 hp by adding the air/water cooling system and slightly increasing boost. We have proven that this stage 1 kit can make very good power even when run in 90+ deg temps by testing it during the summer months here in AZ.

No way Roman.
That weight estimate can't be right...

It's semi believable taking into account what is taken off the car...but 25lbs is way too low
Is the new aluminum airbox in anyway lighter than the plastic one? Plus the blower and all the hardware and all the cooling I'd say 75lbs???maybe?? Not like I care, I'm 110% getting this supercharger. Just let me know how soon I can pay and I'm ordering |

The cooling system is about 10 lbs. The blower and bracket are about 19 lb. The intake system is about 5 lbs and the intake manifold is around 10 lbs. We removed about 17 lbs of OEM parts. Give or take 10 lbs this will give you a general idea of the weight of the kit after removing the necessary factory parts. Like all of our kits this kit was designed with the intent to make all of the parts as light weight as we can.
I will post up some pics of a customers car tomorrow that we just finished. Last edited by sales@ESSTuning; 10-09-2009 at 11:47 PM.. |

Thanks for the response Rom3n. When will we be able to get some performance numbers(drag strip) or runs against other high performace vehicles? Just would like to know how the car does in the real world and not just the dyno. Not knocking you or anything AT ALL. Just that for all the talk from the stroker guys and those with the ever exploding g-power kit, no one's run anyone or at least posted a vid other than the race against a stock M3.

Gintani's supercharged car, "niterider" has posted some vids on youtube, the Gintani car, @ only 5psi, did quite well against a 470whp Stage 3 C63.
