Should I pursue the contact that claims he can get them? I will make sure that includes all parts.

Re: Who's down with a TB kit for E55 at $1500? Install not i

Should I pursue the contact that claims he can get them? I will make sure that includes all parts.

It will be more beneficial w/at least Stage 1 right? How much rwhp gain?

 

[Benzoboi]

how big would the TB be? would it be as big as the kleemann or vrus ones?

 

[jangy]

80mm. Same as theirs and original MB parts all for $1500.

 

[Benzoboi]

Id definitely be in on that...

 

[jangy]

Stay tuned. I gotta get my technical advise to see if it is really possible.

 

[chukiechz]

I would love to, but I just paid for the vrus cf airbox, and the wife has yet to find out about it. Also about to purchase another handgun for about 1K.

When I disappear and you guys dont hear from me, thats when she found out.

thats a great price jangy! i have a 80mm TB and it is worth the 2500 bucks let alone $1500 if these dont sell like hot cakes its cuzz everbody already has them.

ohh new gun? what kind?

 

[chukiechz]

looking at a 1911 style. Either a Springfield TRP Operator with light rail or a Kimber Eclipse Custom II.

Still trying to get more info on them, as well as out of state pricing. Local places are waaaaay too much money and then I have to pay tax.

nice cant go wrong with a kimber!

 

[AdamG]

I got a CLK DTM TB if anyone wants it.

 

[jangy]

I think I am going to try to buy just the actual TB and have my housing ported and polished to match. Sorry for al the technical terms, but i don't know em.

 

[Jrocket]

Did this hit a dead end or whats the latest?

Is this 80mm TB a brand new one or is it just a stock one bored out? If it's the latter... talk to me. :thumbup:

 

[exit2Ek]

to my understanding the 07 sl55 has an 80mm one that can transfer over then you have to port match thehousing on the supercharger.

Oh IC.

 

[jangy]

Yup Yup. The '07SL55 has a 80mm TB and it sells for $250. Then, we have to take the housing and shave the mouth to match and may as well polish the interior while it is off. The bulk of the project is labor. Even I can swap out the TB, since it is just 4 bolts, but you gotta take the SC out to get the housing off. Then, the machine shop charges to do the shaving and polishing, and then install it all.

Jrocket: it ain't dead. It is coming up.

I want to have a good plan for all the mods before I begin. I'm just deciding on pulley and ECU tune sources for now. We have everything else and I'm hoping not to pay more than about $5K for 100hp gains.

 

[Jrocket]

If the SL55 is using the same kompressor that the E55's are,seems all we need to do is buy the sc plenum(peice behind the TB)and make it a complete bolt on...no? I need to look at the parts diagram and see whats up for this.Seems to good to be true...Im all for it too!

 

[jangy]

You are very correct. I am looking into both modding that piece and buying a replacement. It really is that easy. The reason I haven't committed to that is because all the tuners go ahead and polish the plenum, so I wanted that done, too. The labor for install remains the same and I assume the machine shop part is cheaper than a new '07SL plenum, so that is why I am looking into both.
