Update! It's definitely time to ditch the 3 stage manifold now. My large DISA failed/shorted out/caught on fire today in a drive thru. Still smelling the lovely smell of an electrical fire. Tons of smoke from the DISA valve even when the car is in accessory mode. Not related to the PCV heater, tried running the car with the PCV heater disconnected and still had smoke from the inner DISA.
For additional information, I installed brand new OEM DISA valves from FCP Euro at the time I installed the 3 stage manifold. It was at 55k miles. So I've been running that manifold with no issues for 3 years and 30k miles now. N54 manifold time, I guess! |

It's all back together with the N54 manifold in! Huge thanks to BigInBoca for all of his insight on the N54 manifold install, I copied your use of the nylon spacers and cut bolt sleeves and it worked perfectly.
But I gotta say the current charge pipe situation isn't the most beautiful thing. Basically had to use a shortened 45 degree hose bend and a hose coupler on the end of the ESS chargepipe and while it seems pretty solid, I'd be hard pressed to say it's pretty to look at. Just waiting on the tune update from StageFP and I'll be rolling again! Then I'll be off to see them on the 21st for MILVS and the 3.4 inch pulley tune. |

Hi Everybody!
I just spent a few hours reading this whole thread. Nice work pushing the hardware and documenting the progress. I just bought crimpwimp 's E91 6MT RWD and I'm looking into options for more power. The ESS supercharger looks like it gets me what I want (linear power delivery, great response, and some help up here at altitude) but it may present some problems with emissions testing here in Denver. The test centers just recently started checking CVN on the DME to verify that the car is running factory software. My buddy just learned this the hard way on his (formerly my) M235i with an MHD flash. I assume there's no chance the ESS kit will run and pass emissions with factory software? I would think that with the M3 injectors the fuel trims will error out pretty quickly if it even runs at all on the stock maps. Any insight into this? I don't mind doing a little "reconfiguration" every couple years, but I'd like the car to run cleanly anyway, and I sure as hell don't want to be R&Ring the SC kit for testing. |

Has anyone tried to run this kit on the stock software, but with a piggyback like JB4?
How about locating the MAF sensor in a larger tube? I fabricated a turbo system for my 2001 Tundra (3.4 V6) and it runs well and passes testing with a larger MAF calibrator tube and MKIII Supra injectors. The 3.4 Toyota motor/ECU is a dinosaur compared to the N52, so I'm sure there's more to consider here. Last one: Back in the day I had a 1991 Saab 900 SPG with a larger turbo and a lot of hardware mods, but since it was an EPROM based ECU, chip tuning wasn't a thing. I was able to get power out of it using an additional injector setup and a separate standalone controller that added mappable fuel above a certain boost level. I know people add port injection to the turbo BMWs, maybe that could help keep the stock software but support the supercharger? |

It would be awesome if it could run well enough to pass with the stock tune. I think I could support it otherwise with port fueling and an additional injector controller. |

Anyone know the specs on the blower? Looks like a Vortech V3 of some flavor with internal oiling.
If I'm opting out of the injectors, tune, and likely some of the plumbing (I'm working on a better MAF arrangement and hopefully an intercooler) I'll just roll my own kit. I can CAD and CNC the bracket. |

Moved up my meth gauge to vent, and prefer location over steering column.

N54 manifold, MILVs, and the 3.4 pulley you should have gained a fair amount I would hope.

Been a long silence from me but my car is at StageFP at the moment getting probably the final stage of power adders done. Today they made 400whp on 93, non-intercooled with the 3.4 inch pulley and MILVs at 7500rpm.
Can't wait to show you guys what they're about to do next with cooling and E85. Bob has some stuff up his sleeve and it sounds like it's going to be insane. Target power should be between 450 and 500. I'll keep you guys updated once it's done in the next week or so! |

I'm waiting for my friend here to get things squared away with an e85 vendor before running the stuff… Got the injectors in, though. We're doing the Vargas n54 hub spline lock at the moment… Drove the car for the first time in months last week… Missed all of it 😄
