Full throttle Electric Supercharger Build Thread

It's kind of funny, If they get here at the same time, I think it will be quicker to bolt on my supercharger kit then it would be to change out the exhaust manifold, so I may do that first.

*sigh, I'll still need to finish up my battery relocation, and order my dump packs, and get the Phantom tune from Shiv. so much to do, so little time.

Took me ~1.5 hours installing my ESC. And that was at a leisure pace. Everything is upside and in-cabin.

3-4 hours for me to do headers. Crawling in and out under my car numerous . Struggling to remove the damn overpipe bolts. Got down and dirty.

Took her for a test run after installation... wow. Even with the ECU being freshly flashed and the batteries not conditioned and being flashed back to 91oct instead of E85, I'm thoroughly impressed. Really great bang for the buck, and already significantly better than I anticipated. I expect it only gets better as batteries get warmed up. My AFR seemed good, though a little lean in the mids. I'm told this is because the 1.5OFH isnt ready, so I'm running 1.0OFH tune.

I heard from a little birdie earlier today that a true 1.5dump tune as early as the beginning of next week; and 1.5E85 not long after. the 1.5dump is going on shop car this week.

I can't even imagine what that will be like. I have to admit, I was excited with a small bit of skepticism. Now I'm thrilled.

Congrats man. You waited quite some time so I know the ending reward was sweet. Time to burn some rubber!

OMG, why did you have to go and say something like that. now I'll be glued to the computer constantly refreshing the page waiting for the new tune.

Holy man is this thing down on power though....it feels like I'm crawling...Toyota seinnas are passing me when I'm trying to merge.

I can't believe how much the phantom transforms the car now that I'm back to stock.

might not think 40hp is much but in a car this light it is a dramatic difference.

It's not so much the HP as it is the increase in low end torque that really makes the difference.

Definitely. For me, engaging around 3-3.5k just pulls me hard through that midrange with gobs of torque (compared to stock at least). Great to pull you through second gear especially.

Is it just the inner ricer in me, or does any one else wish there was a BOV? Just for the sound... plan on getting it either way though.

There is a whoosh.

Shifting while on boost sounds pretty hot with my exhaust setup too. It's like a little pop as the airflow changes. Definitely sounds like boost.

What's gonna trigger it? It's not like we have abundant boost. You'd have to set it at 4psi. Seems perfectly wasteful.

I am going to take the plunge. I hope to get in on the batch thats @ the end of July. By then lets hope the E85 and proper 1.5dump tunes come out

shiv has said he has new batteries on order for the 1.5 pack. Once they get them they will get to some new tunes for us

on a side note.... has anyone monitored cylinder misfire? I monitored it today and when the engine is idling sometime the count can go up 1 or 2 and then back to 0. You cant really tell anything is happening bit I have always had a bumby idle a bit.

it certainly doesn't feel broken of anything.

1.5 dump received and installed. Directions were clear and easy to follow, took me about 30-40 minutes I think. Can definitely tell the difference - going to spend some more time "conditioning the batteries" this weekend.



Once I have an E85 tune for this setup, I'm not entirely sure what the heck to do next as far as go-faster bits are concerned.

Have the june batch be sent out yet?
I'm 2nd in line for it and still haven't heard from rob yet
