That's shiv , he's the one doing the e85 tune for his OFT, no eta yet though but i hope he'll finish fine tuning it soon.

Side note ; i pray to God every night before going to bed "Dear God please help @shiv@vishnu in every way you can so that he'll have time to complete the e85 tune for the phantom supercharger. AMEN"

Correction:that's Sojhinn :)

That was me, but I am not sure if the tune is safe with the 1.5 pack which is why I'm hesitant to run it on my car currently.

For some reason I read your prayer quote in a Kenny (Southpark) voice and it made it even better :)

I've read that catch cans are recommended for catching/separating oil on FI and tracked vehicles. Since I track an FI car, I was questioning whether or not this should be on my upgrade list... :iono:

I'm running the Crawford AOS, cant really tell you if its doing much lol

On a side note, Rob and I installed a boost gauge on my car, for fun, just shy of 5 with the 1.5 dump pack.... if only I could get past that 5...

Hey guys,

Socal member here. I installed my setup with no problems, this is my second day running it and for reasons unknown to me the blower will not blow when switch is engaged. All the wiring is secure and the volt meter reads 28.X. When I press the switch, nothing happens, the volt meter even stays the same with no fluctuations. praying I didn't burn out the kit already... :-/ any suggestions? help a brother out!

Remove the Drag Reduction tube from the intake and suck on it. If the ESC engages you may have a problem with the throttle switch. If nothing happens, you have another issue.

Do you hear they system beeping 5 times when it powers up?

Daesondei 05-31-2014 10:22 PM

thanks for the quick response. I just tried it, still nothing. unit does not beep.

Double check your wiring and make sure you covered all the steps.

When you are removing the drag reduction tube make sure you remove it off the intake. And then blow and suck on it.

Grab a friend and have them listen in the hood. Start the car and see if he/she hears the beeps.

My brother in law owns a '13 Genesis Coupe 6cyl. He had driven my car stock and I let him drive the ESC 1.5 today. He was very impressed. By my own admission, my modded car still does not accelerate as fast as his stock car (he is around 9.5 pounds per HP and ours are around 11.25 pounds per hp, I think)... but he was pretty amazed at the difference. I believe his comment was "this is exactly what the car needed... now you have a great handling car that gets up and goes. Now that I see how simple that is, I want to put it on my car."

He wonders if he could get up to or over 400 crank HP. Has anyone tried an ESC on the Genesis?

If there isn't any beeping at the blower, there is a disconnect between the controller and the blower. Check to make sure that the three wires are properly seated. If that doesn't cure it, call Rob so he can trouble-shoot your controller.
