Feeler: s54 supercharger kits

[ForcedFirebird]

Just feeling out a group buy on ESS S/C kits for e30 s54 swaps.


Any interest from r3v??

Yes but how much? Biggest pain for S54 S/C is proper tuning though....

Do you prefer the ESS stuff to the VFE stuff?

[R3Z3N]

I prefer the VF supercharger and neither for tuning, I'd go to a better source for tuning like Market Motor Works.

I haven’t been reading up on it, but is there issues with their tunes?

ESS comes with injectors and tune. ;)

Price would be based on volume of committed buyers up to a max of 15% off.

EDIT: We are installing one on a local's s54e30 regardless if the GB goes through...

Not that I know of...

Ess does air to air right? Vfe has a water to air setup available. With your experience, is it worth it? Give a more stable inlet temp?

I originally thought my m coupe was fast enough, but over time I have gotten used to it and it seems to slow.��

Thanks Brad, maybe down the road, but right now I am just working on getting mine started. That being said damn thats a lot of power for an E30! Love to see them.

This is r3v. Should be m20 SC kits.

I chatted with AJ at ESS about the tuning and it's left open source for modifications. We will be fine tuning the locals' car.

We are doing the non-intercooled kit first. Might add methanol injection (aka "chemical intercooling"? lol )

The kit has been in "ready to ship" status since Thursday, will let y'all know how they are when it arrives.

We are having enough trouble getting RD to make the m20 headers. :(

I’d buy an M54 kit for the e30 if they produced one, I’m not aware of any that are plug and play for an m54 e30.

What Jokester said.
Would interested in m54.
