Full throttle Electric Supercharger Build Thread

[Fast_Freddy]

Is there a firm price yet for the ESC? Tuning options? Battery options?


IIRC the estimated price for the ESC is $1600, the bare minimum battery package adds another ~$150 and a base tune from OFT adds another $500. So does $2250 sound about right for an entry level ESC package?

not 100% complete yet...
still waiting on a few pieces of the puzzle to ship.
also waiting for my dad to find his soldering gun.
i built the sub boxes about 3 months ago.
i just finished building a platform for the dvr box, amp, and inverter to sit on right behind the rear seats next to the stock amp.
i now need to make a mounting location for the desktop computer, vga screen, and a mold of the N&7 so i can make a tray for it to sit in when its in the trunk. after its all finished i will clean it up and make it all a one piece fiberglass cover/mounting location for everything. wrb to match

now im running wires 4 everything and mounting cameras.
inverter + dvr + amp/subs will be in the car this week.
the ns7 and computer wont be in the car for a few months... low on loot.. i need $800 for a ns7.
but i will post pics and video when its done

i get in the zone (not autozone) when im mixing....
so that would be bad if i went WOT, id probably crash. But id go down with some FAT BEATZ THUMPIN!!!
also its in the trunk. cant reach gas clutch brake.
but that is an idea! i could get one of those little bitch ass midi controllers for the front when im in traffic or at a red light. lol that would be cheesy pimp my ride shit.

i will make a thread soon and post pics vids and extra weight of it all.
shouldnt weigh much more than the spare tire and extra junk in the trunk.
i positioned the weight as low as possible toward passenger side middle and rear of the car. 10in sub sits in rear passenger seat location. dvr, amp, and the inverter sit under rear strut bar and close to the seat back. other 10in sub sits in the passenger side rear corner of the trunk.

back to this topic...
im gettin a phantom kit for the brz

If you went the OFT route that sounds about right ya. Anyone that is running BRZedit or ECUtek can get a tuner to create a map as well(one is not going to be provided to my knowledge).

There is also the option to run without a tune with the Boost Governor installed which is still under development.

Everything will be firmed up in the next month or so here i think.

I like the OFT and I feel like its a great option. And you get the bonus for E85.

Moto-Mike was able to provide an E85 for my ECUTek tune as well, I elected not to have it as I don't have access to E85 nor do I (personally) think our fuel system has been designed to run on corn juice.

But, E85 is available on the ECUTek platform too.

How did he give you an E85 tune without running E85?

Mike has tables that he has created for other FI -86 applications; both supercharged and turbo applications. Mike's personal car is an Innovative BRZ...his tables are stable and safe.

This should work with the stock factory tune.... less initial TQ but same top end.

Could you add to your first post ETA and Est. pricing? I got some pointers trolling (not that kind) through the thread but that took a while.

I want, I want , I want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I will buy one of these. Can I recommend selling as an entire kit, a full complete kit. No having to source and buy extra batteries or anything. You could then collect a bit of a markup by purchasing the batts in bulk. Also make the kits in colors to match engine bay components (red, blue, purple, gold, black and silver) If its been said before, I am just repeating.


Who says nothing good comes from Canada LOL Really this (Echarger) is going to explode (pun intended) and make some people very rich.......
