I've also have had great success with my version of the super cooler. Probably the best mod I have so far. Near 100 degree temps and my over temp problems are a thing of the past!

How involved is it to remove the intercooler? Think I'll look into that next. Gotta have gaskets on hand or can you reuse the existing gaskets??

Thanks and stay cool!

 

Nice work SLK32Germany and company! You are going to see a slight reduction in boost, at least I did after performing cooling upgrades. That’s not necessarily a bad thing .

 

couple questions.
1. when the supercooler installed do you have fotos of this metal plate you spoke of?
2. what type of wrap are you using and did you wrap the i/c AND the i/c valley?
3. do you forsee a clearance issue with the cm90 and the ground? its such a large pump and clearance with road objects look to be a possible issue.
4 what is the super large hose running in front of the supercooler?
5 finally were did you mount thr resavoir tank? any fotos?

 

Way to go, the cooling is the deal to make more power.

Boost pressure is not lost, it conserved but in a different form. The cooler air charge is DENSER and occupies less volume which results in less MEASURED pressure or boost. If you were to chill the air, the pressure would fall even more, the S/C is injesting lots of air and pushing it into the engine. If the parts are hot the same volume of air in pounds of WEIGHT, would represente more cubic feet of air due to expansion. Its like the pressure in the tires falling in cold weather or the tire pressure increasing after warming the tires in a burnout or hard run on the track.

The S/C is actually getting more air into the engine as the BACKPRESSURE is lower ( you call it less boost ) due to the reduction of air temperature as compared to the original factory cooling systems. Colder is better on so many levels...............

I have not gotten a dyno schedule yet to check my 185 pulley from eurocharged. It will be interesting to see the power with all my cooling mods and a 185 versis the 178.

That's some very nice work indeed -

Let me know what you think of that pump after you put some use on it.

I was thinking of ditching the CM30 and going with this unit from Meziere.

** EDIT ** Are you running the IC pump full time or only when boosting?

thanx for nthe answers. it leads to more questions!!
1 do have a name or place to find the insulating wrap?
2 im still not understanding the resevoir. maybe you have a line drawing of the hose routing for the i/c system?
thanx for the info, im trying to set up something in this nature for my slk32

so the hose is being used to increase fluid capacity not as an overflow tank?

Great info.
Thanks!

 

looking great, now we need an autobahn video

maybe a hotter spark plug is needed?

 

I have had this more times than I can count, these engines are sensitive to temperature and can get a lean miss code if your cold or even cool. Must build heat b4 getting big with the throttle.

I did my fuel pressure mod and got the f/a right but the engine will code and go into self protect early for the sake of longivity, errors on the side of caution. Woody

question for you woody. looking at these coolers for my slk32. can you tell me why you went with a single pass radiator instead of building a dual pass? im cost concious but want the best radiator for my ride!

 

I could have gone either way and thought about it, it is such a massive core that the heat is rejected well. I figured for the effort and more welding that one pass was fine, and there is the added benefit of less flow restriction, but that is way down in the noise compared to the resistance of the stocker. Id have to say that I cant see a clear benny one way or the other, some might go for the hoses on the passenger side, I went for what seemed least complecated and still trying to increase flow; reduce path length and restriction: friction.

thanx woody. im just trying to get into info overload before i order my setup!
