    Awesome video. Picked up an '05 from CoPart. Wrecked, of course.. Fun cars, fairly affordable parts...

    how are you liking the hellcat throttle body? i just bought one but ive heard that 82mm and 92 (hellcat) is about the same in power because hellcat tb requires low iats for it to work well?
    did you notice any realizeable difference with the throttlebody?

      Honestly it's hard to say, seemed there was a little less low end torque/pick up with the 92 mm but I got of work done on the car at the same time (injectors, TB, headers, tune,). Like I said in the vid, not sure I would go with the headers and TB if I did it again but it's done now and it runs really well. If you go with the 82 you may not need to lift the SC to get it on. Top end it goes like fuck.

      @ ​​⁠i do have 77mm headers and cooling and i see almost two seconds drop from 100-200 kph which is really good, therefore i wanted a 82mm tb but decided to go 92 and many say they are about the same and many say otherwise.. will be interesting to find out
      Edit: throttle body gives best results with longtube headers due to airflow

      @@lr882027 oh right... thats exactly why the tb is not working well for you.. that really sucks but i would recommend doing a longtube headers and race cats to lower the smell of the car, actually it will be almost no smell and it will be so much more worth it!
      only downs is that you will have to change it up for emissions because tb upgrade is useless without longtubes to let the airflow be smooth

    nice work brother, wanted to ask how do you bleed the main system for the engine since you split the system ?

    • @lr882027
      @lr882027  5 місяців тому

      I just let it bleed itself through the expansion tank, kept an eye on the tank level and topped it up a couple of times. Used the genuine Mercedes coolant.

    Splitting the cookling system makes no sense, they may be filled via the reservoir but they don't mix.

      Heat travels from hot objects to cold objects, the SC runs lower temps at the engine, makes mucho sense.

    If the smaller the pulley makes more power, than why not just remove the pulley? It should make like 1000 horsepowers.
