Does anyone have this installed? Can someone provide some feedback, seems like this would be one heck of a mod that would really help 1/4 mile times. I can't seem to find any information on it other then on their website.

What kind of gains have people noticed? 0-60 times increase? 60 foot times increase? Is the car louder at idle?

Thanks for the feedback guys
George

Your sig has this TC listed as a mod, do you already have it installed? Lot of people on here with the mod, the TC and valve body are a great combo.

I have this:

What I am talking about is this:

It is the torque converter, do you have it installed?

jrcart

My mistake. I am running the converter and I know several other people are as well.

Merc63

I wouldn't run it with the stock axles if you are drag racing with slicks.

You will most likely break an axle or two like Petro63 did.

He wasn't running the blower either.

Blown63

What can you tell me about it, it must be influential since with the converter it has a 2500rpm stall speed. Does it have a rougher idle sound? Maybe something similar to what cams would sound like at idel?

They say that it drops 60 feet time by 2 tenths of a second which I am sure is dialed back a bit too.

jrcart

There is no difference in sound, you basically have to rev the car to higher rpm before it will engage.

Blown63

Really, how come that happen? If he didn't have a blower that means that it does't exactly correlate with the additional power. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Thanks

I dont know about that.

PetroC63 was breaking axles long before he installed the torque converter

All the TC does is raise the stall RPM speed. This is done to launch the car at a higher torque. I dont think it will effect the Axle in any sort.

I've used the Race Start function on the MCT on a Weistec 3.0L supercharged M156 on street tires. Which raises the RPM @ 4000 for maximum torque. I certainly didnt break any axles

Merc63

Are you sure??

I don't remember him saying anything about broken axles till after the tq convertor upgrade.

Blown63, MSG petro63 and ask him.


SLS, street tires and MCT is apples to oranges. Your m156 what?? Sl63? That doesn't even have the same axles as a c63.

You start dead hooking with drag slicks and a bigger convertor and stuff is more likely to break if not built for the power.

I don't have the Weistec converter but i can tell you a converter will let you launch at a higher rpm which allows you to launch harder. It does not make a difference in sound. Launching hard does cause more stress on parts. You have a healthy list of mods, i would invest in axles as well if you drag race. I got sick of spending track days on my back replacing axles and upgraded mine. Granted my stock axles are much smaller than the C63

Ummm you're not going to break axles on street tires because you're not going to hook, just spin tires. Don't talk if you don't know what you're talking about.

PetroC63

Just to clarify, I broke an axle prior to the Weistec torque converter and once again after.

400+ 1/4 mile runs will do that.

And I agree with everything blackbenzz said above.

SLS Qatar

Yes Your Majestey!


I know exactly what I am talking about

BAD430BENZ

maybe he has the super special sticky street tires . i read on facebook that were better than slicks

and that answers that

GeorgeSmooth

I do not know about the performance aspect yet but day to day driving you cannot notice any difference in terms of too much slippage when doing the daily commute.

Merc63

It would probably drive a bit better around town because it wont be so jerky when doing low speed maneuvering. (with the weistec TQ Con)

SLS Qatar

Maybe I could send my father to the team @ Dynocomp to confirm!

blackbenzz

Your posts clearly show your level of intelligence.

BAD430BENZ

off topic but this would probably confuse people so i will explain it.....

i'm 37 years old and my father is 65 and a huge car guy and loves the performance side of all vehicles . i had to send my car to Dynocomp to get worked on and my father wanted to trailer it up there so he could see what goes on . he met Richard and the guys at Dynocomp and ended up staying in Arizona for 4 days while they tuned and tested the car . i stayed here in El Paso to take care of the family business .

SLS seems to think this is an insult to me but it's just the opposite . i actually forgot about that time but every time he brings it up , it makes me appreciate my father more and more........thank you SLS

some people have a great relationship with their fathers and some don't . i happen to be one that does

sorry Blown63.....just wanted to explain the comment

Blown63

Nothing to apologize about, thanks guys for all the informative information

I don't understand why some people like to continuously come here and start drama GO AWAY if you are just going to start sh**

BAD430BENZ

i agree

the only thing i can add to this topic is that i have the built tranny with the Stage 3 and it works beautifully . you would never feel a difference driving normally around town but do some continuous spirited driving and the tranny works like a champ . the upshifts and downshifts are so crisp . Weistec really did a good job with their products . my buddy has an E85 tuned , downpipe , exhaust GTR with weight reduction and we always battle it out . i know he has more in it than that but he keeps a tight lip on his mods

i'm just the opposite and tell anyone that asks what i have

Merc63

Nice, my pops is huge into cars aswell. Probably where I caught the bug. Really shows the type of guy to poke fun of that. He must have been shoved in lockers daily as a youth. Hopefully he goes the route of Jacob one day.

SLS Qatar

It shows the level of your ignorance Ahmed.

Now I strongly advice you to follow your signature qoute "Run your car and not your mouth" and go back to the E55 forum and leave the 63 platform in peace

SLS Qatar

Nope never. I will be here a long time. In additon, i'm living my youth very well. Cant say the same about you.

You keep talking smack about my brother, why? what did he ever do to you..loool?....thats right. Nothing!

I really want to see you someday talk crap about him face to face!

you have a nice day now

SLS Qatar

Whats the outcome of the battle if you dont mind me asking?
