Definitely excited to hear your thoughts! Haven't had the cajones to pull the trigger on a kit for my car yet, but a positive thorough chawkins type review could push me over the edge.

Heading to the machine shop to get the bbk 90mm re-worked to fit on the Weistec inlet. Going with the 82mm on the kit first because the 90 mm wiring harneses have not arrived yet.

Craig wins the award for having 3 different power adders on an E55 in a 6 month period. 4 if you count N20.

Keep up the good work!

Awesome Craig! If you need the wiring I have a brand new hemi wiring kit I can overnight you. Just replace it when you get yours. Can't wait to see this monster up and running

Thanks Ahmad, the 90mm machining will be done monday, and denroll shipment is arriving monday to. So that looks like the big day as of right now.

BB, do you know what is the standard pulley size that comes with the kit as far as boost goes? I would like to be at 17-18lbs and then spray it some to cool down the air charge.

Run a 57mm pulley on the blower if you have a stock crank pulley. I'm gonna switch to a 180 lower and a 65 upper to get the same blower speed with more pulley contact. The 57 doesn't slip however, at least not yet...

Edit- looking good BTW!

Cool!

I don't think there is a standard size. I asked for the largest pulley at first because I was running a stock NA bottom end but eventually I man'd up and went for the 56mm. You should go straight to the 56mm and a 200 shot

Looking good boet . I'm boosting just over 17psi on a 170 mm crank / 62.5 upper but I'm losing around 3psi up here in Joeys - so that combo should give you around 20 psi at sea level for what that's worth.
