Speedriven Billet Sale - 10% Off + Free Shipping

SPEEDRIVEN BILLET ALUMINUM BOV $225


Mercedes’ turbocharged engines produce smooth, understated power from the factory and have been tuned to simply staggering degrees of performance by companies like AMG, Brabus, and (of course) Speedriven. The most extreme of these tuned turbo Benzes have a very distinctive sound thanks to the use of aftermarket blowoff valves- now, however, you can upgrade the look and sound of your biturbo Mercedes-Benz with these billet aluminum blowoff valves from Speedriven.

Speedriven’s billet aluminum blowoff valves are machined from aircraft-grade material and are direct, bolt-on replacements for the factory BOVs (which are made of plastic). Once installed they offer superior durability compared to the factory units, while also serving to give your twin-turbo Mercedes’ engine bay a more aggressive look and sound.

^^^ FITS BITURBO V12 MERCEDES R231


SPEEDRIVEN BILLET TRANSMISSION PAN $675


Whether you’re racing at LeMans or simply racing to work, heat is the enemy of a transmission’s performance. Excessive heat means more slipping, less precise shifting, and- ultimately- a slower car. To help combat these issues, Speedriven has developed a line of billet transmission pans for late-model Mercedes-Benz and AMGs.

Speedriven’s billet transmission pans combat heat and promote more consistent performance by increasing the fluid capacity of the factory Mercedes-Benz/AMG 5 and 7 speed transmissions by nearly 2 full liters. In addition, the aluminum construction of the Speedriven and CNC-machined cooling fins make the billet pan a better conductor of heat than the cast factory pieces.

Speedriven’s billet transmission pans are available now for Mercedes’ 722.6 and Chrysler NAG1 5 speed and the 722.9 G-Tronic 7 speed, and ship in a raw aluminum finish (at this price, custom colors available) for maximum heat dissipation.

^^^ AVAILABLE FOR ALL MERCEDES 5 AND 7 SPEED ATs

Jo,
Great Job on the ECU & upgrades on my SL550. Car is running great.
I still want to run some Dyno pulls and see the HP and torque numbers.
Is that BOV something for my V8 R231?

Thanks again,

George Sommer

Hi, George! Much as I'd like to sell you more stuff, these aren't really needed on a drive-by-wire car, as the ECU is smart enough to back throttle down slowly, eliminating the boost spike that the BOVs are meant to correct for. I'd be more than happy to sell you a set of lightweight sport mufflers and the billet transmission pan (above), however!

Hi, guys! We're officially out of stock on the billet trans. pans, but should have more available by the end of next week.

BOVs (which were sold out) are now available again. We made 10 sets, and (as I type this) 5 were pre-sold. Jump on them quick if you want a set!
