Re: ESS supercharger systems
then almost all (correct me if i'm wrong) are not developed for tropical climate like ours.. But for m54s, many have been running technic kits ie ASA blower without much issues.. however, vortechs blowers are running hotter apparently..
i think AA is vortech, and ESS is ASA?

Re: ESS supercharger systems
SC'ed M3 locally is just a bad idea..
To make the car fast n reliable, use the money to cut weight by 100-150kg!
Few things:
1. Change to LW rear muffler, orig is like 25kg
2. Change seats, no need CF coz too expensive
3. Light weight wheels, not difficult to cut 2.5-3kg of unsprung mass per corner
4. CF roof, get rid of the sunroof so u get a lower CG

Vortechs are hot running even in cooler climates and cost a bomb to service. Friends I know using them usually adds an oil cooler for the SS and trade them up in about 2 years or so. Not too sure about the rest though.

Re: ESS supercharger systems
apparently the new gearing would require me to do 2 shifts to get to 100.. so i guess even with the smg, the 0-100 time would remain the same if not slower than the stock gearing..
BUT, the gearing would give u harder acceleration in any gear!! just what i'm looking for..
pulling in 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th is where the gearing would shine most.. also, top speed would be lower.. well, not that i would take the csl to 29+ all the time!! hehehe.. 27+ is ok, i dun mind..

Re: ESS supercharger systems
just curious, doesn't the SMG system autoblip the throttle when downshifting?
if so, did you reprogramme the SMG control unit to correct for the change in rpm-to-speed relationship resulting from the change in your final drive ratio?
