I wanted to get more air into the engine and thought now would be a good time to upgrade form 82mm TB to 90mm. I talked to Chris aka Sir-Boost-a-Lot and he told me to send him the SC inlet and he'd modify it to fit the 90mm TB. I wanted it to have a factory like fit/finish (The Weistec kit quality was very high and I wanted to match) and Chris did a great job. Below is a comparison pic between 82mm TB and 90mm TB as well as pics of the SC inlet before/after install. Haven't driven the car much yet and I won't have before/after dynos because I changed quite a few things at once. I will give my 2 cents after some driving but first impressions are excellent. No CEL yet and drives like normal cruising.

Thanks Chris Job well done
82mm vs 90mm

Looking forward to seeing the results with the whole new set up?

Nice! I envision some solid 9s in your near future. :)

He'll need a big shot and some prayers in that heap

RedBullJnky

Why? He's already run 10.0

Ahmad and I go back and forth daily, lol, I'm messing with him

Yeah, that's a big improvement and the finished S/C inlet Sir-Boost-a-Lot made came out great! Awesome!

I'm surprised Weistec doesn't offer a larger throttle body than the 82mm. We all know the S/C would definitely benefit from a 100mm plus..

Thank you! That's a ton more involved than yould think since the elbow is a lot smaller than 90mm at the turn. The whole thing has to be cut into pieces, material added, then welded back together and ported smooth. And you're right Havoc, this should be standard issue with the Weistec blower.

What TB is this? The elbow looks spot on!


EDIT: Found out what TB it is - BBK.

blackbenzz

Yes I am
It came out great
Maybe longer than I expected. Still waiting on rods for my Darton block
LOL
Thanks. He did a really good job with it. I think it will translate well in terms of power delivery. More air in and out = more power

Yea they should have come out with larger than 82mm
Yea it sure seems like alot of work. Can't even tell the inlet was cut up by looking at the final product
90mm BBK TB from a Hemi. Let me know if you need anything. Could probably stuff it in my suitcase next time I cross the pond if they aren't available over there

Havoc

..and to think you started with our stock 74mm TB! You should take a picture comparing our stock 74mm vs this BBK 90mm!

It tells you something when the Boss 302 N/A comes with a 80mm stock!

DIBs on the 82mm. let me know if thinking about selling?

blackbenzz

Yea I will do that next time I go to the shop. 74mm vs 82mm vs 90mm lol

You want the MB 82mm TB and modified AMG SC inlet? PM me an offer

Here ya go, stock vs. 90mm

So you were flossing that day huh? lol

Lmao! I actually use the pick end of those to clean the tips on my paint guns, but I'm sure I did floss that day also

Thanks for the offer, very kind of you. Might take you on that. I'm redesigning my air intake by flipping it to the other side where a bigger and proper filter will sit instead of the washer bottle and coolant expansion tank. That involves CNC'ing a new shroud (the one that says Weistec on it), which is where I'm currently at. If this is of interest I can get more than one machined. Just let me know.

blackbenzz

Thanks for the offer Alex. I'm not interested in flipping sides since I need it on that side for the brakes. Now if you were able to find a way to run dual TB's like the 63's that would be interesting! CNC a new SC inlet wont be cheap

Alex L

You can probably cut and weld two Weistec inlets? The spout for the bypass valve is off-centred which will make the whole job easier.



You will need another inlet, which will probably cost as much as designing and machining a new one though.

smartyin

good job, and are you still runing the 84mm tuning program?

and how is the fuel consumption comparing to the 84mm throttle body?

Hulk

when you goto a bigger tb you need to retune, a/f will change

smartyin

i always surprised that you guys didnt to mention about the transmission issue.

my e55 is all new bought from dealer, i spend alot time on the maintence, but after the weistec kits on, my transmission just immediately have problem to the new power..
