Full throttle Electric Supercharger Build Thread

[s2d4]

No one here ever driven an electronically clutched supercharger?

Must have been a great show for the silver FRS on the other side of the street.

So many new people on the thread. Kick ass!

I've been following since day 1. I just don't have the product nor the car yet, but I'm excited to see this type of technology flourish. I'm all about bang-for-the-buck, and this innovative product proves just that.

When I get this car in 4-5 years, this ESC would probably be optimized, but hopefully not too expensive for me to tinker with.

As someone who has tinkered a wee bit with the system I can say its definitely worth it.

Never have, but have always wanted one after seeing mad max, that's one of the reasons I wanted to go ESC, power when you need it, good mpg, and quiet when you don't.

Hey @Robftss and @fenton

Any chance I can get a high res version of the logo digitally?

84 degrees, dry pavement, without correcting the ratio VD shows 245trq at 3k rpm, might be a little too much for my tires

guys share your esc to the unfortunate ones and buy another one... lol... oh well

does it mean a combination of 4.67 FD and esc are bad, i was planning to have the same setup well when the time comes that rob would sell this outside the states.

I'd love to have one too for a custom license plate frame.

Gave a demo Phantom ESC ride to @murselyfe

I'd say he was impressed, but maybe he can post his own impressions. Dude is building a killer car.

Btw, gtec didn't go so well so i won't be posting the video, I'm actually slower, could not grip for shit. Burn rubber like crazy all 1st and 2nd gear, but I'll do some rolling race with a lanevo x and post those up soon.

That's not great to hear; sounds like I may be going back to stock gearing after all! I should be getting my Phantom in a week or two (I bought Mr. @nlowell's kit) and I'm on 4.88's with the 6AT. I'll let you guys know my results and if I decide to go back to 4.1 or not.

I wouldn't worry about it unless you're aggressively dragging the car all the time - it's not like it's a 400 ft/lb monster, it's just spinning because a very aggressive launch will get it spinning through first. Once you break the tires loose, you've lost a lot of traction, so going to second will keep the tires spinning (as opposed to launching easier in 1st and then shifting hard to 2nd).

I agree, with an auto it should be fine. As for my problem i think i just need time to relearn the car. It'll a totally different beast with a short fd.

Got any vids rolling on the power in first and going through a couple gears?
