Phantom Charger Poll
 

There has been talk lately in Fenton's Phantom Supercharger thread about market interest of the electric supercharger. I think it would be useful for Rob to gauge the interest in his revolutionary supercharger.

For reference, here is a link to the original thread:

Where's the option for "I'm already FI."

I'm under the impression that this is a poll targeted to people who would still be in the market for an FI option.

Shouldn't it be in the engine section then? I didn't start hanging out in the FI thread til I was FI.

im a wait and see 6 months after release. I really feel like their numbers need to get a little higher on 93 octane before Ide jump on board for sure. 210whp isn't too shabby but in reality I wanted minimum 240-270 if I was spending some real cash on FI. Install and removal is what would sell me on it. period.

I suppose that's one way to look at it, on the other hand, people who are shopping around for FI options are most definitely browsing through this section to see what the options are and to see what feedback people are providing based on their experiences.

I came here religiously until I made my decision

I love the have fun with your toy option. :D

If I had a better approximation of the final price and delivery date, I'd be all over it. I'm ready to drop over 4k at other options, all of which are a compromise in one way or another. At the prices I've seen listed, this is cheap enough to just have fun with in the interim, while other options become more mature and possible warranty issues with the car (DI seals), get themselves worked out.

Where's the "I'd buy today if I had the money, but won't for 6+ months" option :P

Seriously though, if the 'rumors' are true that this is half or more the cost of other FI options, with considerably better low end torque numbers, they've got my vote. 30 minute install and 2 minute uninstall is icing on the cake since I'm not (yet) much of a gear head.

I keep throwing money at my laptop screen but nothing's happening. So, it's here whenever you're ready to take it.

I've been following the ESC thread closely for a while now, but would want to see some more long-term DD results, as well as how it responds to supporting mods.

I only recently got my BRZ and am trying to pay if off before going crazy modding. I should hit that in a year or so, and if the reliability is still there and the CEL issue can be resolved, I could definitely see this on my car.

Will buy as an early adopter. Reasons:

1. 57tq and 46hp @4200 on current dynos
2. Great value (price looks to be in the $1500 range)
3. Easy to bolt on, easier to reverse for warranty repairs
4. BRZedit base tune out of the box, ECUTek ready as of yesterday, Unichip on the way
5. Can be adapted to other mods (possibly even other FI mods)
6. Looks also to have future upgrade potential (more battery power, faster charging, twin ESC charging, etc).
7. Same hardware has been used in other vehicle applications for years now with no reliability issues.

This, to me, is worth the investment.

I'm glad to see 60 participants in the poll during the course of a holiday weekend. I'm also glad to see 50 people interested in the eCharger option.
