Finished 2017 at 92,417 miles. Worked with William today to change the oil, fix an oil leak, and adjust my ride height. Oh, and one more thing... I recently SUPERCHARGED Ness!
I chose the ESS Twin Screw Stage 1 as that's basically what an auto trans can handle. Helpful advice and input from Hieu and Rob.
I've driven it a few months (but not many miles) so I could provide an assessment with the post.
First off, it's great. It's fast... not snap your head back turbo kick fast, (remember just a Stage 1 with 5 (or 8) PSI - I forget), but fast enough and to me the way it should have come from the factory.
The power comes in at low rpm which is where these cars are lacking to me, so it's a perfect fit, and it really goes at high rpm. I have not dyno'd it yet but I will soon.
The other thing that's great is if you don't step on it, the car drives as if it's not supercharged, a very normal driving experience.
Now, is it worth it? Yes and no. First the 'no'. For a (ballpark) $10K - $12K car putting on a $5,500 supercharger makes no sense. As for 'yes', I am keeping this car as long as I can, I got some layoff money from my previous job, and it's like getting a new car for cheap, so a no brainer for me! Been wanting one a long time. I'm definitely loving the driving experience. Ness is now pretty much like I would have wanted from the factory.
Pic from underneath after getting rid of the oil (not sure why upside down), and a couple of the supercharger.
