Full throttle Electric Supercharger Build Thread

Got the ESC installed last night, @fenton
Thanks for the help, tune files and instructions. It's extremely hot today, but last night around 1am this thing pulled so hard with my final drive swap/header/CAI plus this ESC 😲😲😲😲

Do you have an air straightner on that cai?

Also take a look at getting the metal jacket for your starter battery to protect it from the heat.

Great job man. Final drive + ESC should feel beastly. If you have e85 nearby also give the e85 tune a shot. I always recommend it for those with corn juice nearby it adds about 20-30 WHP and 20TQ to the mix depending on your setup.

There's actually a place about 15min away from my house that i'll definitely try! I used to run E85 about a year ago and didn't stay with it due to the bad gas mileage. I'm excited to feel the power with ESC+E85+FD etc haha crazy

Maybe a lean condition is taking place?

It happens to people without the ESC, it's a flaw in the 13-14 engines. They fixed it in mid-late 2014, so it shouldn't happen if your car is newer than that. Mine happened when idling at a red light as well.

Looks like mine was caused by a rocker pin backing out.

Exactly what happened to me. Are you going to rebuild it or go the new motor route?

If my heads survived (machinist taking a look) building them. However I haven't seen a single after market rocker to stop this from happening.

My memory isn't the most reliable, I know I saw a post about this. I believe some aftermarket manufacturer tackled this problem for turbo applications, not sure but I want to say full blown... again, take this with a grain of salt

Awesome man! Glad everything went good for you. I cant even imagine E85 plus ESC plus a lower FD.....You will probably light the tires up just punching it mid RPM.

Need a new engine. Because of that I am selling my Phantom. This is the latest build with the highest compression out of any other phantom.

I also have an extra lower powered compressor that can be plugged in for extended boost.

Also the kit has the auxillary charger as well.

If local I can give you a good packaged deal on the batteries etc.

I'll give you guys two hours before posting on the local sale thread.

PM for pricing.

Valve floated... Kissed piston, broke spring, loosened rocker, rocker pin backed out, rocker destroyed head.


Which basically describes any 2013 motor.

That does suck, but how does this describe a 2013 motor? is it common for the valve to float eg. weak springs that were changed after 2013? or just the rocker pin issue that was updated?
