That system looks really nice. The fact that the discharge tube is a silicone hose means installation is probably significantly easier. I don't get impressed very easy!

It was much easier than my friends ProCharger piping. I did mine alone.

My shortblock came to me in a dream last night and begged me to start off with the largest pulley. Good thing I listened. With the 110mm pulley, I did some part throttle driving to make sure everything looks good before I book the tune.

I know HP Tuners isnt an exact HP/TQ measuring tool, but its always been close. Ive never seen more than 655tq from my Vortech V3. With only 6.5 psi from the G3 blower, I’m already seeing 647tq at 4700rpms, 75% throttle. Local temps in the 80s right now, and iats only a few degrees above ambient. That blower is barely working yet.

ESS Tuning G3X Supercharger

UPDATE 12/18/18

Knowing I was going in for a tune on a dynojet, I wanted to get a baseline on a dynojet. So I took my car in to the local dynojet for 3 baseline pulls. I had heard that the dyno I originally tuned the car on, reads higher than others.

On this dynojet, with the same exact setup as my first post (711/638), the car made 657/618. This is the closest baseline I could get.

Since then I've added the DSX Flex Fuel Kit, DSX Aux pump kit, and the ESS Tuning G3X supercharger. Since its completely new, here are some specs on the unit:

SKF Ultra Precision Ceramic bearings,billet impeller, patented oil distribution system, extreme precision gears (made by Boeing APU gear manufacturer). 4.3:1 gear step up and capable of 75.000RPM. At 75,000 rpm, it flows 2000cfm. It basically has less physical footprint and substantially lower weight than a Vortech V3, but it will absolutely crush it in power capability and torque band width. It is big blower power in a small, lightweight package. It is also internally lubricated, and only requires service every 20,000 miles. I am currently only spinning this unit to 55,000rpms.

I filled the tank with E85 (actually 60% ethanol) and Edgar (dsmlights) made it all come together in just a few pulls. With E85, 14.5 degrees of timing we found the comfortable limit of my fuel injectors. It made 808whp and unfortunately we didnt display the torque values. However I was logging torque in HPTuners, and it reported 814 peak. (but thats an estimated crank value).
[disregard the commanded afr and error. I didnt change my charts for the E85 fueling]

When ESS Tuning sent me this very nice blower, they also sent a few pulleys. 110mm, 105mm, 100mm. I just wanted to mention that I was running the largest pulley they sent. 110mm. This is the lowest boost setting I could run... and its in block splitting territory.

This blower has absolutely transformed the car. It is insanely fast for me. With 275/40/20 MT ET Streets, second gear has almost become useless.
It hits just as hard initially as the V3, but pulls like crazy up in the higher RPMS. Its just nuts! Check out the boost curve in white.

This new G3X blower will be available as an upgrade for the ESS Tuning SC kits fairly soon. Email ESS and ask them for details. I gained 151whp from this blower and E85. It's worth the money.

Also gotta say DSX makes great products. My Fuel Pressure is solid. Best bang for the buck fuel system.

I have to say - I wish I knew about this kit when I bought a Vortech YSI kit. Seems much better engineered. I like the belt wrap and the extra idler pulley that ESS runs.

It was not available when you bought your kit

We wish you left the E-85 out of the equation so we can see back to back blower comparison.

Belt drive looks same as ECS's stuff, and certainly would be my preferred setup too vs tensioning the more common way.

I recieved my kit on Jan 25 2018, and the Ysi option was available at that time for $500 more. The billet was more I think. Not sure when you purchased yours. However the new G3,G3X and G4X are not currently available, but will be soon.

Yea, well tough cookies. Lol. Use your imagination and subtract 50whp. I still picked up 100whp on the biggest pulley. Nothing against my last tuner, but their dyno consistently reads 50hp higher than the dynojets around here. Im sure if I went back to Howard it would have made 850 and id look like a hero, but im only concerned with the gains.

And the car feels absolutely insane, nasty snarling bitch. Its just mad. I love it now. I dont even go past 6000.

I dont plan on running 93 as it sits Ted. We backed the timing down another degree and it made seven-seventy-ish, and called it good. We’re real close to hurting some rod bolts, and I’m using the e85 as a safety margin. If I had a forged shortblock we could have pulley down and made 20psi.

What is the boost comparison?

Not equal. V3si was 10.5# G3X was 14.5#

its not an “all things equal” comparison like you may have done in the past. I think everyone knows the v3 and v7 are in different leagues. I unfortunately cant show the full potential of the G3X, but there is another guy running one of ESS’ blowers in a C6, that is absolutely insane.
