19" instead of 20" wheels is perfect. A RWD R8 with suspension, CCMB, wheels, and either this or a UGR kit would make the perfect under radar ultra comfortable reliable hyper car slaying super car.
@@_Ambition124 Is that a joke? If not, 12 and 6 will only let you emergency steer in one direction. I have been to 3 performance track driving schools over the years and every single instructor is at 9 and 3
Seems like a phenomenal upgrade... One thing I did note was at full throttle on the back straight, it was not really closing the ground to that GT4. Short of that being a Deman 4.5L car that shouldn't be a car it cant close the gap to rapidly.
Can you guys make a video on the comparison of this Whipple vs the magnson the Vf engineering uses , pros and cons of each or why the whipple is better? I’m looking and can’t find much info on the ess supercharger kit for the r8 & hurucan.
What are weak points when boosting an R8? Example; pulleys, belts, any lines, cooling, internals, etc. Are the pulleys cast aluminum like the Aventador? Those tend to shatter and make a messy job
Hey guys this channel has a lot of potential i know u guys are hard working people but you can have the camera on while working and stuff make some vlogs show the behind the scenes and all that but other than that keep up the good work
Right ! And then hit limb mode 🤦🏻♂️ I’d rather take my r8 to sheepyrace..shoot I already seen a couple of UA-cam videos and nobody does engine out for a supercharger, not even for a twin turbo kit..
A stock v10 r8 is my dream but this with the exhaust and 900hp? Haha cant imagine how nice this is
Steve is awesome, a true engineer, one stop shop, taking PSI to the next level.

Great build. Tell the driver to put hands at 9 and 3... a very fundamental piece of performance or street driving practice for car control.
Why not 12 and 6

I love living 5 min away from a legendary track like this one

4:27 wait ... so at wide open throttle you're barely keeping pace with a cayman? That can't be right.
It probably isn't stock

Second gear, that's it.
Sick car, great video! I have a stage II b8s4 and want my next car to be the supercharged V10 R8.

These kinds of videos will definetely be done. Just getting everything together!
The real question is what the hell was in that cayman!??
He said it went into limp mode.. that could be the reason the Cayman looked quick. Alternatively Cayman could have had a Turbo upgrade.
ESS doesnt say any where on their website stage 2. What does that have over their base kit?
💯
I think I saw Dan bringing this bad boy out of Samuels Body Shop not too long ago. Sick ride
R8 ❤️
3:57 that sound tho
This company is amazing car amazing and fast
What’s the difference betweeen ESS vs VF engineering?
with all this power, and cant reach that Cayman on a straight line ????
So ESS sends you a canned tune? I'd definitely still take it to the dyno.
Is the track right next to your facility?
What’s the 0-60 and top speed
What r u running for fuel is it 900hp on pump 91 or 93 ? Or is it e85, ethanol Blend of some kind?
No way it’s on 91 for 900hp
Why is this car 900 and the same kit VF sells is around 750?
900hp I need more info for my R8
I want it
Whatever in front of the r8 is a monster you gained 0 ground on it
Engine out for a supercharger install?? That does not sound right.
Check with ESS and anyone who installs these on the V10 R8 or Lambo and get back to us. 😎
