1 month!! I don't think I have a choice because I can't find it anywhere else.

the E55 clutch pulley has not been released.

I have seen it and almost had it installed in my car.. but not yet ready.

The E55 supercharger pulley will have some gains.. but as much as the C32. since the bearing OEM size is a issue.

---------------------

The V3 guys usually data log all their runs, and monitor boost, iat, coolant temps, oil temps.. ect.

I highly recommend E55 owners do the same.. or else you are going to all over the youtube 6 o'clock blogs.

this is what I use...

not real time.. but super easy to use and don't need a lap top while driving.

pop it in... on your commute to work and see the results when you arrive at the office.

you can even monitor's your wife's driving habits.. when she drives alone.

I called this place but they are saying it comes in 2 size fittings for the hose. Some are 5/8ths and some 3 quarters... ???????? anyone.

TopGun32

you will need to use the stock hoses...

ask for either... you probably don't need them.

I have changed my pumps about 4 times... both cars.. never needed 1 hose.

Where was the meet?

E55AMGGG04

Westbury, Long Island.

Real-Close id be down to come if there were actually cars in my range.

E55AMGGG04

90% of the people there dont race. It's basically a car show kinda thing.

I just finally ordered a CM30 johnson pump.

NYC E55

Who had the pump in stock ?

E55AMGGG04

Aceusa.com had them in stock and for a good price compared to what I saw. I was thinking after I install this pump and see how it works I should get a heat exchanger. My biggest concern is the car's supercharger turning off. I don't want to mod it to make it faster just yet.

There was a cm90 for sale in the classifieds, I dont know if its still there

The 335 is one little beast,there 15 psi tune is nothing for there turbos,I dont know where your seeing blown turbos.They run 15psi from 3-5k and then tapper down to 13 psi by red line,that is not that much more boost than stock.

Theres only 1 guy that I know of that blew his turbos and whos knows what happened to that car.Dont get me wrong there are plenty of people who are having rattling waste gates but that has nothing to do with the tune,bone stock cars are having this and bmw has uppdated its ecus to try and fix the problem,its a mechanical problem and even stock 335 have them.The only other problems they have are the fuel pumps.

Shiv has dyno'd his car like 300 times in the past 2 years and hasnt blown up his turbos(he made the first tune for that car v1,v2,v3 ect)A good race would be a full bolt on 335 vs a stage 2 e55.

this guy still has his stock catts and exh on his 335 also,My buddy ran a 12.6@113.9 with just a jb3 on his 335and nothing else was done,just the jb3 wich was like 500 bucks and he ran a mid 12.He is going to add down pipes and full exh and wants to try and break 116 and run a really low 12.


Here is a well done 335 and has one heck of a power band,you can see how the boost drops off towards redline.

Thericker

And they only weigh about 3400 odd lbs, damn light lil 4 door POS J/K there a great bang 4 the buck!

Just a small bit of info. This 335 pulls on a C63 a larger gap than it did on this E55. Repeated runs, it pulls away from a C63. & I don't believe a C63 has this heat soak or whatever problem you guys are discussing.

So I guess my question is, does a stock E55 with its IC or whatever working properly pull on a C63? Cos if it does, then there was nothing wrong with this 55 on those runs.

Timeless

Yes, it pulls on a stock C63. It can also pull on a stock E63.

Well from what I understand wether it's good or bad doesn't make a difference on hp. A bad pump will allow your supercharger to turn off more quickly while a good pump will help keep it on longer. Anyone correct me if i'm wrong with that. My question is when the supercharger turns off and then turns back on again, does it lose power? I feel like it does but that's my opinion and not a fact.

E55NURBURG1

YES, you are correct.

like i tryed to explain earlier, NO your IC pump is not bad enough yet to lose power from. of course from when your car is NICE and cold and from when u do 3 runs u lose some power but not worlds of a difference, but u def lose some power from the heated charged air now, that goes for every FI car.

any power you lose is form heatsoak which isnt that much since the car dis-engages the SC when it gets too hott, and re-engages the SC when its back into operating temperature. the difference of power between these two points isnt that much but i can post some back to back dynos to show the heatsoak power loss.
dont forget you were racing a FI car aswell, each run you did, he lost some power aswell from heatsoak.

Again, from your SC disengages is where your IAT are too high and the car goes into a protection limp mode, when the cools off in the operating range the SC re-engages again.

the power loss here is no more then if u have pushed the car 2-3 times.

have you ever raced a C63? you can tell right there if your losing alot of power from you IC pump. if you beat one or at least kept up, your IC pump is NOT bad and all your experiencing is the down side of the baby limp mode and extreme heatsoak of this engine.

with the new pump, good choice , it isnt gonan give you any power in your case since your IC isnt dead yet, but its gonna help to keep you from going into this SC limp mode, and keep the car from heatsoaking a bit more.

Blackedout335i

Hey E55AMGGG04,

I am Kyle, the guy with the 335i that you guys were supposedly looking for the other night when you raced Ballzzzz in his white 335i. I didnt know you guys were going down this past thursday.

I'll be there this upcoming thursday so hopefully you will have fixed those things on your car so that everything is cool.

By the way i have a 335i and by next thursday I should have the new beta tune that is not offered to the public yet and is stronger than the high boost map offered in the JB3. But I have JB3, Dual cone intake, Code 3 Spearco FMIC and I run 100 octane.........I should be able to make it this week. Last week was awful with every single worried client calling up about their fixed annuities with First Sun America which is a subsidiary of AIG.........

But if you guys wanted to try some early day runs next week so we can get better footage then im down, BES was talking about doing that......let me know

By the way I have alot of respect for the AMG models it is a great car

E55AMGGG04

I forgot to mention 1 more thing. When my s/c turned off that nite i noticed for the first time that the temp on the car was a lil over 80 maybe 1 bar or 2. Every other time it has ever turned off it was always way past 80. I cant tell if this is the 1st time it's happened or if it's my first time noticing it. It turned off on me multiple times which never happened to me before.

E55NURBURG1

yea i noticed the same thing. the coolant temp doesnt necessarly have a connection to the SC charged air but it gives an idea at where ur car is at. but a oil temp gauge and a IAT temp is very powerful tool that our cars do not come with.

it really doesnt make much of a difference if coolant was hot or cold really, the charged air and the IC just couldnt keep up.

when u say multiple times do u mean the SC came back on, you went full throttle on it right away, and after two full throttle bursts it shut off again?

if this is what you are saying, that bascailly the IAt rising again above operating conditions the the SC going into limp mode. nothing wierd there. just the car doings its job.

BlownV8

Wow, this thread got the attention of some of the old school trolls. You know who you are.

E55AMGGG04

Yeah I did many full throttle bursts that night. It turned off about 4-5 times. Everytime it came back on I hit full throttle again and sometimes it was switching back off once I went over 100mph.

M&M

Yeah I love you too buddy.
