Wesietc-

If you update us with this kit, could you let us know what the IATS, and bosst was to achieve those numbers on 91 octane over the stock numbers.

Great work fellas

GT-ER

I'm guessing this car doesn't have headers? 562whp without headers is huge. That's 600+ with headers and then you could always raise the boost for more. A 3.0L twin screw is no joke.

I agree with GT-ER about this being a stock car , no headers and free flowing exhaust , no pullies of any kind or cams . These are great numbers for a stock car other than throttle body up grades . Once u add tuning, pullies , cams , exhaust , I can see close to 700hp at the wheels 600 something would be a "MONSTER" with more tractions problem that we already . Will see 10 sec time slips easliy and probably some high 9's. I'm in on this supercharger upgrade and its alot cheaper than buying a used 5.5 bi-turbo car . Also most of us who will buy this kit already have a modded car pullies, cams, exhaust. so we know where it will put us 700hp plus ,,

Ill be the first to bet with my built motor,custom cams,ported heads and a race gas tune at 20lbs of boost it will be around the 850rwhp area. I've had a whipple before (3.4l on a cobra) and I know what these blowers are capable of.

.....I also have two built AMG V8 motors with ported heads, cams, pistons, rods, and running high boost. So very interested in the outcome of this Weistec s/c. But I have learned during my journey to be restrained about "expected" but unproven whp claims.

.....as for the new AMG biturbo engines, as tuners become familiar with them, it would be feasible to swap turbos and retune ala Nissan GTR and make much higher power than with the kompressor engines even with weistec

It's too bad the turbos are part of the manifolds Makes upgrading a lot more costly.

Ted Baldwin

.....I understand, but I think two CLS63's have already been done.

The GTR manifolds are also cast as one piece with the hot side of the turbo.

Wanna make this whine my ring tone!!!

Very nice shift of the torque peak higher up the curve, should also help with traction issues.

Much more linear power delivery and less drop off on top, seems less parasitic losses as well.

A version with all the bolt ins and ons should be a feast. Lets see how this develops. Am I right that with a TB only we basically at where a fully modded car with oem blower is at?

First of all, awesome product!!

But I would never buy it from a company with so much "secretcy". Why released it only to not have it available? Then two months later release the graph only show the gain and nothing else? I have a feeling they just want us string along. I'm glad I've reached my goal with this flatform. My next "fast" car will be something a little more tuner friendly and a little more aftermarket support. Good luck guys! Spend wisely!

SavMan

Surely you can't compare these results as stock with a TB, the size of the pulley on the supercharger must be similar to running a 200mm crank pulley. Does anyone know the diameter and the internal gearing?

Ted Baldwin

.......actually, that is a valid point. How much boost is the "stock" Weistec s/c already running?

.......this why some think that the addition of the of the trunk mounted ice reservoir with the 82mm tb plus Weistec s/c is not insignificant.

......if this is already a high boost step up, then those with highly modified cars and already running large crank pulleys risk damaging their engines.


Ted

AMGPilot

They posted two dyno sheets, one completely stock and one with the larger throttle body and trunk tank

stevebez

That torque curve is a thing of beauty....

Ted Baldwin

.....stock car, yes but not stick boost. The s/c pulley on the Weistec is most likely similar in boost to a larger crank pulley. So like others have said, it will be good to know at what boost the Weistec s/c is running.

NAsty little thing......I wonder what it will do with LTH, bigger Crank pulley and E85????? HMMMM seems like I need to do this.

It's been a few weeks, any news?

looks like they figured out how to program the ecu to get rid of the dam clutch! i am leaning heavily towards it for that reason alone!

PACougar

Until we have someone actually running one that works we can only assume they figured it out.

overZealous1

i would certainly hope they tested the theory before making 3d models, casting, and machining the intake pieces. going to be giving them a call on monday. i may ditch my current mods and go this direction.

kustom2k1

They have a running example.

Love that whine, could live with it in mine as it is not a DD anyhow. Hoping for 600+ or so RWHP/TQ though.

kustom2k1

Would like some 1/4 numbers, but putting down that kind of power is very impressive with their list of mods. Well over 600 with a larger crank pulley. Very few well modded 55k's put down over 550hp and 600ft with the stock blower.
