Nice @colHolm I just ordered mine yesterday. Apparently there isn't anyone with our cars here with a S/C let alone this E-Force Supercharger (according to my tuner)
I can't wait to compare before and after dynos! Edit: The only thing I'm slightly worried about is the slight fluctuation of the RPM that people were mentioning early on with the CARB tune. I ordered my kit without a tune from Delicious and the D-Box as I don't necessarily have the extra funds for the kit. I haven't found if there has been a revision to the supplied tune for this kit as I do want their 3 year drivetrain warranty. If anyone knows about that issue being fixed, PM me. Mahalo! |

The minor issues with the rpm variation are easy to live with if you just ignore them. You do have to remember that this is a tiny engine for such a large capacity Supercharger. When moving off from low speed idle the engine still doesn't have any torque and the contrast when the Supercharger starts boosting is quite marked.
The one reason to fit a Supercharger instead of a turbo is the nice linear torque curve. Just so you know, with my 225/45 x 17 Sottozero winter tires on bare dry pavement I get wheelspin from rest to redline. The stock Michelin Primacy don't stand a chance. In summer time on my Michelin Pilot A/S 3 I can get wheelspin from rest, on the up shift to second and a definite chirp going into third. This Supercharger is awesome, you'll never want to go back. |

That's understandable. The way I envisioned this supercharger is like putting a V8 into a little car. My first car was a 1987 Mustang GT V8. The throttle (theoretically, due to lightweight body, but big engine) may be similar in that regard. If that's the case, I can overlook the idle and low RPM fluctuation.
I appreciate the input and I'll be looking forward to adding my name to this registry soon!

Also, I'm THINKING of getting a 3" Pulley, upgraded injectors, and an EL header.. Ace, Borla, Nameless, or Tomei. By investing in such a package along with the DeliciousTune + having a 3"CBE, what numbers should I be expecting? I don't plan to track it since there's unfortunately no track on the island of Oahu in Hawaii Edit: I will be running it a relatively hard during my night time cruise sessions eventually. Im aiming to compete against M3s, Mustangs, EVOs, and STIs during our friendly drag/round top events.

I can't talk numbers, but the responsiveness goes up a notch for sure. Feels more potent. I am very happy with the tune.

I would not recommend the smaller pulley. If you have E-85 stations that is probably a safer option for power gains. I run an ACE EL header, and E-85 delicious tune at about 330-340whp. You also will need to upgrade your clutch if you go e-85 or smaller pulley. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
