I think ESS needs to redesign it or something ...

Here is a close up of the manifold. Our manifold design is for function and weight reduction. This design was tested for maximum air flow and cooling capacity.

We design our kits around function not flash. Many of the SC designs we have seen over the years have more to do with flashy designs then they do actual performance. We would much rather spend our money making the kit perform better then look better by adding unnecessary carbon pieces.

I will be looking forward to your impressions, reviews, and vids! Congrats!

Sorry folks, but just using common sense: same engine block, same compression, just putting a charger on, increasing power and torque by about 50%+! I know BMW is building high end engines with a certain amount of safety margins, but I guess the margin will not cover a 50% increase.

What do you think, why G Power is not giving any warranty - I would not do either.

BTW I still have a spare S65 engine

To lump all FI vendors into the same pot because one is having issues is a bit premature. We have long term tested this motor up to 700 HP with FI and with our tuning and hardware we have not had isses. This is not to say that all FI products will perform without issue on this motor but we are confident that ours will. If you test your products correctly and know your safety limits you will not have major issues when you release product to the public.

So how many stages are there? 1? 2?

[A-Man]

Congrtas man.. really awesome... take it for a drive an let us know how it was..

I agree less is more when it comes to aftermarket IMO. I think this kit looks great. I would however like to see the blower finished in black that would look really nice.

+1...ESS is well known for thorough testing procedures . Guys like this shouldn't post in threads of this nature if they don't have anything positive to contribute.

I get a really good vibe from ESS too. G Power seemed to rush out their production way before the competition to get jump on profits at the expense customers motors.

Sorry folks, I was forced by somebody, who was not happy about the facts which I posted before, to remove my previous post
It was not my intention to lump all FI vendors into the same pot - of course I do hope that your longterm testing will keep you out of this corner.
BTW how many miles is a longterm test from your point of view?
I am curious how your product will develop!
But all this does not change my personal point of view, that I always would prefer a high reving NA engine to a charged one!

We have a combined 70k + miles on our E90 M3 test cars.

I always thought, the sense of a forum is to post also personal preferentials, which implies that there will be different points of view!

And my point of view is, that I always would prefer a high reving NA engine to a charged one!

I don't know why anyone would force you to remove any post, it's your opinion. Unless you state an untrue fact, but even at than, people post bullsh*t all the time and their posts stay active. I'm dead set on picking up a ESS kit, but public opinion should not be oppressed even if negative.

Thats not how it went down but ok.. Wrong thread at least they took care of my car and its back on the road running like it did from the dealer dont know many other companies that will do that.

[CSMRX7]

Did you get the 91 or 93 octane kit?

PS I love the simple manifold.
