Many of you may have seen the announcement by ESS on E46 Fanatics for their new CFR M3 supercharger range.
This is the system to go for, bar none. We have been following the development programme over last 4 months with ESS and far as we see they have done everything right such as
- proper software, perfectly UK compatible
- well engineered and very strong mounting bracket, so compressor will not flap about under load
- well designed inlet plenum
- good blow off valve
- the best compressor on the market , ASA TM 120. This also has a nice fat puley so pleanty of grip on the belt, no need for expensive 8 rib pulley system.
- All components are under stressed, i.e. not running anywhere near their limit.
Will be available in 3 stages, all prices are approximate at this stage, but include VAT :
CFR-550 (stock engine internals) 470RWHP @ 7PSI £6800
CFR- 550 - 2 ( stock internals, ESS camshaft, higher boost and software to suit) approx 510 RWHP @8PSI £7500
CFR-700 (ESS FI cams, 9000RPM valve springs, lowered compression forged pistons -9.5:1 CR, engine bearing kit) 600RWHP @ 13 PSI £TBC
We have been authorised to take advance orders now for these kits, and offer a 5% discount to those who wish to lay down a deposit of £1500 or more.
CA has already placed it's order for a CFR 550 - 2 kit :)
By the way, the dyno graphs show European horsepower not usual US horsepower so they seem accurate, we just checked on this with ESS.
thanks
