I would say it's more red than orange. Also, from what I understand it is much dimmer than previous versions. Since it doesn't stand out any more than the rest of the gauges I decided to put it in plain view. I tucked it so that the numbers are just visible above my windshield wiper stalk. You can reach just past the ignition key to turn it on/off. I just took a small piece of aluminum sheet metal, and bent it into a V and twisted one side of it till it was at the right angle. The display is a little difficult to see in broad daylight with sunglasses on, but I like the current brightness. I was planning in making a flip up cover to keep it from blinding me at night, but that isn't necessary now.

Full throttle Electric Supercharger Build Thread
Still editing the video. I'm up to 25 minutes and not done yet. This is one of the longer video I have worked on. I'm also mixing the old video with the new one. So lots of little things I need to do.
I also had my student make an intro for the video. It's pretty bad ass. Will update you guys when I'm done. I expect Monday or Tuesday as long as work doesn't screw me like they did on Thursday and Friday.

Yes, but do you really know, whether or not they took some notes for the record in case you come back somewhere down the line with an engine related warranty issue? I guess I'm not much in having faith with the dealers, but I'll likely take mine off should I need to go in somewhere down the road.

turn it off, or just tell them it's a voltmeter, you won't be lying. But if you like the green I suspect that rob just put a red film over the display, to both dim and turn it red. I can't be certain, you could try to peel it off and test it for yourself, but rob could confirm.

It's a new led. It's a better led then before and less prone to issues.

Thanks, that's good to know. I saw the film but didn't want to try taking it off, because I thought it might be a pain to get it back on.

I think the film may just be tint, so it's not as blinding at night.

Finally got the ESC installed sunday after having it sit for 2 weeks. Didn't want to install it with my jdl el header because i want to get the feel of the header 1st and get use the header 1st before the ESC.
Initialy with the header and shiv 91 stage 2 el tune the 86 felt great through out all the rpm and felt much strong from 5.5k - 7.2k and still going strong. Under normal driving i don't have to push the pedal too hard for it to pick up but once on the gas it moves quite well but still missing some omph. Got the sexy sound but not enough go go . Now with the ESC the install easy and straight forward all thanks to @sojhin instal video. I actually watched at least 4 time just to make sure i get it down right. The install would only take me 1 hr but i took my sweet time just to make sure i don't get any wire caught or damage during the install and the ESC is lined up straight before i get it tighten down. Over all it took me 2hrs including getting it flash. 1st thing i notice after install is how good the ESC looks sitting there nice and shiny and removing the stock intake tube, sound generator and the resonator really uncluter the bay. I got it set to 90% throttle so i won't accidentally activate it. Might sound like a broken record or a fanboy but this thing ROCKS. It's a great system for the price and value. The kit is very well built but still there's 1 thing that i hope would be better. It's the wire connection on the throttle activation switch. It seems and felt a bit lose and fragile. I was extra careful with that part but since fenton and others that have it for a long time haven't have any issues with it yet so it might be something i shouldn't worry about. With the added hp/tq this is how the car should arrive from the factory. I was so additive to it i slow down to 40mph on 3rd then go wot just for fun. I use it whenever i get the chance just to test if there's anything wrong with the system and get use to the slight lag while getting the batteries conditioned. with multiple pulls from 2nd to 5th shifting at 7k i'm pleasantly surprised the batteries charged quite fast. Now can't wait to get the AUX charger installed planning on waiting 1 week of testing/fun/abuse next is the NST pulley kit and Gates belt. Oh my so tempted to get everything thing install at once but want to feel the differences for the before/after effects. Overall I'll give this kit 9.6/10 Definitely worth every penny andvthe 5months wait Thanks for developing/ testing / improving on a very solid power option @Rob fenton and others that help |
