▀▄ eas | VTT "SplineLock" CrankHub Installation Overview for S55

Siljo3 · 08-13-2020, 02:39 AM

Hello. So i got my V2 crank hub. As i see no issues till now with V2 right? No failure engine etc.?

What do you suggest me to replace also? My car has 38k km. I see dust covers in previous thread. Anything else?

Regards

The more I look at the VTT V2 & hear about results from the fastest F8X's. The more it makes sense as the ideal crank hub fix.

Plus the cheaper cost of installation is a no brainer.

Along with the dust covers, we replace the copper nuts and a new gasket for turbo oil line

Any issues thinking of pulling the trigger on a spline lock v2 I already have a CBC that I was gonna install by itself but figured miswell go all out for peace of mind. Anyone experience any failure ?

I figure you're asking for other people's personal experience, but it's worth reiterating that there are zero V2 failures, many hundreds of them sold.

I have the v2 and CBC from Vargas, just finished beating on the car at Thunderhill East and West with no issues whatsoever. My j pipe clamps couldn't handle the track but the crank hub held up without issue.

I just DM'd EAS on Instagram so hopefully he's willing to work something out with me. Fingers crossed. Gonna do the full solution.

Having my crank hub installed for peace of mind and because I'm putting down pipes and a stage 2 tune it. The mechanic, very good friend of mine, said that it was at the 5 o'clock and would've spun at any time. My car is stock and a DCT comp car. I play around a lot on the autobahn and other country back roads and never thought twice about using the kick down. Anyhow, glad I had it done here in Germany. Only cost me 1,100€ for install.

They’re a business…call or email them, why would you think it better to DM on Instagram? Unless you’re a big influencer, makes no sense…kids these days

Was just at EAS last week...wish I had known about this. Would have talked to Tom@EAS about it and priced it out with my BM3 tune we did.

dont see 8 hub bolts just a black cap in center of the crank pully circled in red on first page. thought this could be done without takin pully off.

Gents,

I'm having VTT SPLINELOCK installed on my M3 but... i see that the package contained only SPLINELOCK CrankHub. I have no Crank Bolt Capture in the package. I asked mechanic to postpone it until tomorrow and i need to find CBC asap unless all the work is gone and i need to book new slot and pay again.

I cannot order it now directly from VTT or XPH as it'd take week or two to get delivered where i am, go through customs office etc so ordering from USA is not an option and cannot find any local dealer who has VTT CBC in Europe.

- can i replace VTT CBC with other CBC that is locally produced? Assuming its CNC machined, aluminium , tested etc.

Examples of CBC available here attached in pictures.

Any cbc will do the job in my mind, it's all the same thing to me

It would be nice if someone could engineer a CBC that had a hex pattern on the external surface of the central capture hub. If you need to manually turn over the engine (like when you need to change belts) current designs make it impossible to get a socket on there.

Can you utilize the friction disk with the V2 spline for added safety?
