They just did an article on one in the June issue of Turbo Magazine and the Altima they tested it on has almost doubled in power (105whp to 208whp).

I never thought I'd actually see one of them working..

 

Yeah right, are you serious?

 

I'm dead fucking serious. An automatic 4cyl Altima. They plan to run high-13's.

3 Optima Batteries in the trunk. Stock alternator I believe..

 

Damn, I tried to find the article online but i can't.

 

I've enver heard of this in my life

ESC-400™ runs the 1/4-mile at Moroso 2003-12-22
Moroso Motorsport Park was home this weekend to the Sport Compact Winter Challange, and we took the Altima to MMP to test the ESC for 1/4 mile use. The weight of the car with speaker box, molded body kit, ESC-400 and batteries, etc was 3780lb. The bone stock KADE 2.4 liter 4-cyl automatic ran 18.30's @ 78 mph with the ESC by-passed, and ran a best 15.583 @ 89mph at only 5 psi boost. Traction with the ESC was a real problem with 2.35 60ft times on four attempts.


The ESC-400 draws 1250 amps

thats not bad. a lot of s/c kits (for mustangs at least) are around 2-3k. Thats drawing a lot of power though.... i think i would go for a custom turbo set up... more efficient, and you can just turn the boost down for daily driving.
