MBH headers and mid pipe. Stock exhaust from the resonator on back. Sounds perfect.

Maybe you should move to a dryer location lol jk. Good luck!!!
For now... It takes forever to get custom stuff done. Once i get a built motor done i will run big boost don't worry. Even with stock motor im confident my car will go nines

No freaking joke! Can't it rain 6 of the days of the week Speaking of the track, Sac Raceway does on new years drags and the weather is looking good for that day.

Thanks Craig, let's hope so! I've got a brand new set of 28" Hoosiers, so hopefully all goes well with the bigger tires.

Give me a heads up when you go and if I'm not busy I'll come check you out

PACougar

Sounds like plan! Right now unless anything changes I'm going out on new years. I'll keep you updated.

Any one have some dyno numbers??

Gadget

I am going to try to get mine on the dyno soon.

Did you get the 93 octane tune? And with the headers do you think you will break 600whp?

Just wanted to post an update.

Had a couple of small bumps come up.

1st, I had a significant hesitation on acceleration a few seconds after a downshift. I communicated this to Weistec on a Friday along with a video of the event. Early Monday they told me they believe they have identified the problem and asked me to return my ECU to them for a calibration update. They worked through the weekend to solve the issue.

They believed it had to do with the 82mm throttle valve I got from Eurocharged and that it was a used unit from an Audi converted to work on the AMG.

Sent the ECU off Christmas Eve and got it back Thursday. Installed it and went for a test drive. Problem seemed to be solved, then the car stopped running and I had it towed to my shop. Acted like a fuel pump problem.

I replaced the two fuel pumps and the filter assembly and discovered the reason the engine stopped running was there was no gas in the tank, but the fuel gauge was reading 1/4 tank. Never had this problem before. I did replace the aux battery at the same time and have no idea if this goofed up the calibration of the fuel gauge.

The pump swap went smooth, but Winter weather moved in so I was not able to get it back on the road and hammer on it til yesterday.

The new calibration is fantastic and there are no issues at all. They nailed the problem.

I will have to say that I am very happy with the the supercharger conversion and how well and strong the car runs.

The customer service/support from Weistec has been fantastic.

The fuel pumps and filter unit are a bit over engineered in true Mercedes fashion. I will post pictures up of that overall system later.

Now I need to get some more rubber on the back end. Can anyone help me with a link to info on the widest tire/wheel offset combo I can run and the best overall tires to use?

very nice! Glad to see you are happy and the car is running good.

I'm just waiting to see your first dyno numbers.

Triman2008

I'm not sure what you can run as far as width, but I have a 10.5 rear on my S55, with a 285 tire. The best all around tire....??? That's really for you to decide. I run the Nitto Invo and LOVE that tire. Great traction at highway speeds and they heat up pretty fast. I have about 3000 miles on mine and love them. They are quiet on the highway too. I drove up to St. Ignace, Mi from Grand Rapids, about a 500 miles round trip. Tires rode perfect, and the car rides smooth on the 285/25/20. Just my $.02

I want to do the cooling system split before I go to the dyno.

I am trying to get an expansion tank to get this done.

BFG DR 285-35-18 is about as wide as the car will take.

Very good to hear about your result. Thanks for keep on updating.

Weistec

Gadget it is good to hear you ironed out the fuel pump issues, and we are glad to hear the car is running as it should.

We will have a bolt on cooling separation package available shortly that will make life very easy. Parts included is an expansion tank with a propitiatory intercooler system cap, hoses, fittings, and brackets.

Just as an FYI for members asking for dyno numbers... The graphs on our website are rear wheel horsepower figures. Expect to see numbers very similar to that. Just saying...

Happy New Years to all as well.

Gadget i will be back next week. Let me know if you have time to go for a spin or need anything

I'm coming!!!

When do you plan on dynoing the car? I might just bring my E55 with generic ecu flash, 180 pulley, and Kleemann headers, and cooling among other things to see a comparison. I'm sure the Weistec SC will blow it out the water but some objective data for the masses will help. Same dyno and same day. My car just has a generic flash on it but still

novae500

That sc sounds sick!!!

Who does the tuning for Wiestec? Inhouse or out sourced?
