Hello Guys


I thinking to install Wistec stage 2 , ! so how reliable this kit ? someone has experience ?

Kriston

Been reading, up on it and these kits seem pretty damn reliable.

I'm sure there are few SC owners who will chime in shortly.

C63-AMG

alpha26 Why not just go to the Stage 3? I am looking at that kit myself.

jrcart

They are very reliable, use the search feature and I do not think you will find a single thread with anyone reporting any major problems. I now run the stage 3 on all my cars and all my cars get tracked and driven hard and I have had zero problems. I ran the Wesitec 2.3L blower for a year or so, it is a solid and proven system, IMO you can't go wrong.

You might go through rear tires a bit quicker

Kriston

Stage 3 is a bit more involved, as the tranny has to be built etc. Some owners (myself included) may not necessarily want to go this far into a build.

alpha26

That the reason for stage 3 ,

i am collecting more info of stage 2 now

CarHopper

There is no reason to go stage 1 instead of stage 2. However, it is much more involved to go from 2 to 3 so it really does make sense for a lot of people to stay at stage 2.

OP - surely with a 1300whp GTR you know how forums work. There are plenty of threads on Weistec and they are all positive.

You won't have any problems running stage 2. Just stick to what Weistec recommends and you'll be fine.

Have you even tried contacting them to get their input? For some reason I feel like they would know best, but I'm not sure...

C63-AMG

I've heard that if you don't beat the **** our of it, the tranny should be OK? But I would strongly tend to agree, that it should be built. After all, we know we don't drive like grandma

Merc63

With stage 3, my tranny lasted a week. Had 60,000km on it.

C63-AMG

Merc63 thanks for that insight. I had a feeling that would be the case.

Group buy on Stage 2's

Kriston

LOL..... If you think about it, Stage 1 to stage 2 is an additional 4-6K easily.

I was speaking to Weistec (who are awesome guys by the way) and the need of a high flow exhaust system is a must for stage 2.

While I agree Stage 1 / 2 makes no diff in price from Weistec. The supporting mods to go along with Stage 2, will easily put the build over 20K.

I think for now I will work with full bolt ons, after that we will see about the SC.

Extremely reliable when installed and tuned correctly.

One of the funnest packages to drive in any car.

G55AMG

I have stage 3 on my C63 BS, no problems, and the guys on Weistec have the best customer support, they really stand behind there product.
Can't go wrong with Weistec.

Merc63

Do you have any vids of your car doing WOT runs? dyno run or track info??

Merc63

Id say go with long tube headers, MBH or MHP and a tune from weistec because they will credit the tune against the blower when you are ready.. Drive it for a while like that till you get bored again then do the blower install. If you can do the work yourself, you will save some coin.

I can't tell you how reliable it is because I only picked up my car yesterday from getting a Stage 2 install, but if you are on the fence, just do it.

There are guys that have been running these kits for years with no issues, and damn the sound and performance is addictive. A FBO C63 seems so slow compared to this!

Point2Point

How much does labor run for the supercharger install?

charliekay

Install only for a full Stage II kit, not including installation of headers or anything else is around the $3k range in Australia.

Merc63

I'll install it

mr747

Well get ur *** to Australia then lol

aussie e55

might b cheaper than some workshops charge here if he does not eat & drink too much
lol

Kriston

Yup you got it!

That's the plan, just waiting for the bumper-bumper warranty to end and I will start tinkering a bit more

Merc63

Get a couple guys together and it's a done deal!

I could even bring the blowers on the plane and save shipping haha

stage 2 is great so far. I'd consider doing the valve body upgrade though, I feel like 3rd gear is hitting some sort of torque management whenever it's really cold out.
