At least with your flat form your can always upgrade to the V12 TT.

Looks like Weistec grabbed the reins on this one.... Check it out

Dude that is ancient news. Check the Weistec thread. The only problem is nobody has the setup still because they say "sold out" on their site and have offered no actual info people want like what does this thing do to your car?

They posted like they have those things available for sale but all they have to offer is some pretty pictures.

I know it is old but on a different "benz" site about "boost" (That i cant post a link to here...AHEM AHEM!) had an article that came out last month saying it is finally ready. Go check out the article

Rejoice W211 E55 and 55 AMG fans, the day is finally here. We first announced that this upgrade was being developed in December of last year and as usual Weistec diligently worked on it and delivered as promised. The 3.0 liter supercharger upgrade is officially on the market. There are several advantages to the 3.0 liter twin screw versus the factory 2.1 liter namely in the areas of efficiency and heat management which is vital for a positive displacement application.

The factory 2.1 liter supercharger weighs 50 pounds more than this upgrade. This is partially due to the solid steel drum of the clutch rotating assembly. In addition to the weight the way the supercharger is designed/placed has the intercooler in the valley of the V8 meaning it will get hot rather quickly due to heat from the engine rising out directly into it. Heat soak is a large issue with the M113K cars and there is a long history of W211 E55 owners in particular complaining about heat management. This issue will be mitigated considerably with the Weistec supercharger which has the intercooler fully floating within the lower manifold casting. Basically, airflow will cover the Weistec intercooler from all sides resolving the issues with heat soak.

This all boils down to a larger, more efficient, and lighter supercharger. More power, less weight, and the ability for repeat runs without losing that same power. Yes, exactly what M113K owners have been asking for. This same supercharger currently powers the fastest Mercedes in the world on the M156 motor platform and is a proven commodity.

The W211 E55 AMG sees a restriction at the point of the throttle body. Now remember, since this is a positive displacement design the car pulls air through the throttle body into the supercharger. The E55 was limited in this area by Mercedes likely to appease SL55, S55, and CL55 owners who had a larger throttle body. The factory 74mm can be upgraded by Weistec to 82mm with the supercharger upgrade eliminating a vital restriction point through which air passes to the compressor.

The supercharger kit retails for $8,649 and includes the following pieces:

Power figures with dyno graphs will be released shortly and detailed in a separate article. Congratulations to Weistec for delivering yet another great Mercedes product. Pictures are below, hurry up and order yours as there is no doubt this will be a very popular upgrade on the platform.

I have seen it talked about over there just like on here with their official post in September. But there has been nothing other than pictures.

^^Gotcha. completely missed this thread. I even searched it here

Westic SC results are on facebook already with 115 rwhp on stock car and 137 rwhp on a car with only upgraded 82mm TB

GregMB

.....and that's with a factory exhaust. Imagine that graph with a decent set of longtubes!

urbamworm

Yeah saw that too. Wonder what the difference would be going up to 93 octane. Would be nice to see results from a modded car too like most people have these days.

PACougar

I hope they designed that inlet elbow to accept a 90mm TB.

DVC

Nice and loud whine. Looks like those numbers are with a trunk tank:

urbamworm

574whp 571wtq with what I assume is same car (big throttle body, everything else stock) on 91 octane. Need to see what 93 will do!

Thericker

Well since it basically adds 115 rwhp to Bone Stocker, & fully modded E55k w/oem blower makes on average 500 rwp w/basic bolt-ons, would imply Weistec 2.9 blower on top of basic bolt-ons will NET 600-615 rwhp..

Not seeing 700-750 rwhp even if cammed/heads/etc as those E55's top out around 550-565 rwhp but add that 115 rwhp gain & you guys should easily attain 650+ rwp which is very stout indeed (though if you add in Meth/E85/ or high octane fuel you should hit tthat magic 700 rwp)

edit: WOAH love the blower whine That alone is worth price of admission!

urbamworm

Don't forget those are on 91 octane, and if I you watch the video you see they did 574whp on the dyno, guess they dialed it back some for god knows why to post their fancy graphs?

Oh and a lot of us don't run that crap you call 91 octane. 93=more power.

PACougar

93 isn't going to add massive amounts of power. Now we have no idea how hard they're pushing that SC, it probably has a crap ton left in it even on pump gas!

Thericker

I'm betting the Ice slushy added most to the additional 41 odd rwp gain over 1st graph tho I'd love to see it hit 700 rwp w/basic bolt-ons... I'd def snap up an E55k & join you guys

urbamworm

I could see another 15-20whp which would certainly help.

And yeah that is on stock crank pulley, curious what kind of boost they have it running with the pulley size they chose to start with on the actual unit.

AMGPilot

the difference in 91 to 93 octane "MIGHT" be 7-10 crank hp

vioilio

.....and I thought I'm DONE modding! On a side note: How much power do you guys think our engines can SAFELY handle in stock form and without internal work?
