ESS vs. AA Supercharger

[SpeedDemon]

Ok, so I'm thinking about supercharging my ZHP... any thoughts and reasons on why to go AA or ESS?

Thanks :bow:

[TrippinBimmer]

just wait....GET THE HPF TURBO! :D

That is what I am doing...hehe

[SpeedDemon]

I don't think there is an HPF Turbo for the ZHP... ??? I thought that AA and ESS were the only options.

The replies you will probably receive:

Try searching the F/I subforum this ha been covered a million times. The ESS fans will say go ESS, the VF fans will say go VF and the AA fans will say go AA. It's up to you to decide, considering the costs, the s/c type (centri or twinscrew), etc etc.

that said, go ESS :P

They are starting on it beginning the new year on the new Turbo System...I am waiting on them to finish it and go from there...:d Only 12.5k for the system and it will be comparable to the HPF Stage 1 for the M3...:excited:

BTW if u want it now...go with the ESS TwinScrew...I had it on my Jeep Wrangler and Loved it (not ESS but the TwinScrew design)...:D

Only 12.5k....:rofl:

whoever you can get the twin screw from for the best price! that said i think it was ess...
both aa and ess use the same lysholm supercharger i believe.

twin screw ftw!!

[SlickShift]

AA is having a sale on superchargers, so I'd say go with them.

[jamesthebikeguy]

Ess is a Twinscrew, so oviously ESS FTW

No, AA used an OPCON compressor, ESS uses the Lysholm.

If you are on a budget, then go AA. If you have the $$$, the ESS TS will give you more low end torque and the ability to go with higher boost later on.

Yeah, "used" being the key word in this statement.

Glad you saw that...clever wasn't it?

I think AA may have some TS compressors in stock so they might be able to do a custom setup. I could also be talking out of my @ss as well.

I'll be waiting to see those HPF claims upheld...
I can't imagine the kit for the 330's to be nearly as "bolt" on as their M3 kit. 500+ hp on 91 octane with a M54 block? :popcorn:

dont think it will hit anywhere near the 500+ on pump on a stock block.....

Depends on how much money you have to spend. If you aren't on a "tight" budget (relatively speaking, each blower is going to be in the $7-$10k range when it's all said and done), go with the ESS Twin Screw. If money is a little tighter, go with the AA Stage II C38. I have an AA State II C38 and love it. It's a fast car but doen't have a lot of low end torque.
