Roman>>

Does your software work with following spec?
Extractor manifolds,
2x100cpi race cats,
full flow 2x2.5" exhaust,
Dual airbox inlet.
(pretty much a copy of RDs complete system + the airbox)

If not, what?s needed and what would the price be?
(I live 140km from Aremark )

Thanks!

Roman, the kit is under development since.. 2005? 2006?
And nobody thought about a price in 4-5 years?

I won't believe to anything till someone here will not have it on his car.


Will the kit include an oil cooler?

I was one of the men interested in this.

ESS has great products but their communication/feedback sucks :thumbsdown:

ESS had the SC for the 4.4 V8 up for development for a really long time (like > 2 years)- then took it off their development schedule (last year) without any reason or info leaving potential customers hanging on speculation...very poor.

sure ESS I'll bite (again) - it'll be ready next year...with all this time on your hand it had better be a top notch product.


If pricing is kept around 5K euro, might be interesting..

If ESS think Americans will spend more than $7k, they are wrong.
And $ 7k are ?5k.
Yes, I'd say it can be interested for ? 5k, not more.

How safe would s/c be on our motors? Trannys? I assume higher the miles on the car more chances of things breakingdown...

Someone was asking about the tranny:

6 MT and SMG can keep 600 Nm torque (450 from factory), source ZF :

It will go a little over, but my car for example cover the 90% of its kilometers on highway at 3000 rpm, 6th gear.
