Does the absence of inter-cooler harm boost in ESS SC? Basically from what I've read centrifugal SC on e90 328 (like the one used in ESS SC) roughly do 6-7psi boost at max rpm, but can do same hp/tq gain on half-rpm from the max if equipped with inter-cooler. Overall making more boost from low-end and making thus more streetable power. I may be wrong of course, it's just what I've read so far
P.S. Some article said that for every 1psi it's roughly 14 degrees F air temp rises. So basically for 6-7psi at max rpm air temp is above 100 degrees - add to that ambient air temp and you have quite hot air - thus low efficiency and lower boost than possible with intercooler, no? |

ESS said the next level upgrade for this kit will include an intercooler and more boost. Not sure what else. Current boost peak doesn't hit enough consistently to make an enormous continuous temperature change. I'm assuming for track use it is a must as-is.

also more boost and extra hoses can leak eventually, more harder to maintain.

Hello,
does anyone have finally find the "mysterious" Bosch injectors P/N from the ESS SC N52 kit? I would like to upgrade my injectors (higher rate flow) in order to use Éthanol E85. Thank you for this information. Best regards. |
