looks like It's time for me to pick up the dump packs. I was going order earler with the 10% off, but realized that the free shipping costs more than the 10% off saves, so I decided to wait for the free shipping to come back. Now I might get an even better deal.

*edit. nevermind, it doesn't seem to change the price at all

Yup pm him. He will respond eventually and write your name down for the next batch.

Hey guys I have a update from Rob. We are not looking at June for the next batch. Next batch will be ready end of July. He has built 45 units since the launch in February! ....most which are currently in frs BRZ owners hands :-)

Unfortunately with custom stuff like this it all has to be done on a large scale to not cost a fortune. He doesn't go on eBay to buy his parts in 1s and 2s. He has manufacturers abroad building his motors to spec and they have a 8 week delivery time usually not to mention the 10 days waiting period for a international money transfer.

He is expecting his compressors housings on June 16 and has ordered 200 more ceramic bearing with a 6 week delivery.

With a custom built rig like this there are always many moving parts that have to happen before we get these units in our hands.

Rob is working his ass off to get the stuff out that he does have and coordinate the rest to be built in a timely manner once they get to his shop.

Everyone that is interested in the next batch only needs to PM Rob once stating their interest and your name will be documented and you will be contacted once he gets closer to the shipment date.

Rob doesn't want to fill people with any false hope. He knows getting this stuff in and built right takes time so that everyone gets a quality product in the end.

As always if people have questions please post them here, I am trying to help keep extra work load off of Rob so he can deliver more awesome superchargers to everyone.

Thanks,

Thanks,

I would 'thank you for this useful post' but I don't know how, so I quoted you instead. I imagine a fair few people replying to tell me how...

BTW, I looked up the battery prices and there's a decent savings.

I paid $43.18 for two of the PS1290s, so the current price of $19.99 each is about $1.60 off what I paid.

I paid $89.54 for the NBX2, so the current price of $79.98 is almost $10.00 off.

I paid $49.49 for the PSH-12180FR, so the current price of $44.99 is almost $5.00 off.

Thank @DAEMANO for showing me the ESC. All I gotta say is wow it has so much more pull. Definitely going to put my order in lol.

Thanks for the chai and yeah it was fun driving around. Even with two decent sized guys on board, the torque just slingshot us onto the freeways and around traffic. Glad to see yet another convert. Worth every penny.

For those that autocross, what class does the ESC put this car into?

[shif7i7down]

From top to bottom.
1.stock run with stock rom 3rd gear.
2.stage 1 oft tune on 3rd gear
3.stage 1oft tune on 4th gear
4 and 5. Esc+esc oft tune 4th gear

Their dyno seems to be reading allot lower then other dynos I've seen. Maybe it's because 4th gear is not a 1:1 ratio

The pic isn't showing up and the link is to a spec page for the car. Don't see any dyno info.

It's alittle odd that it's showing a25% lost in power from crank to wheel, and I'm only at 500ft above sea level

Ya that's a different dyno than most shops use.

You still got awesome results though. Almost 40 HP and torque peak increase.

That's a 30 percent increase in HP even more than that in tq!

Good stuff!
