i have been searching for some new stuff to put on my slk32 and heres the latest edition.
RENNTECH FLUIDAMPER 178 MM CRANK PULLEY!! this was sent to me by pte racing in hobe sound fl. once i get the acc. pulleys and belts sorted out im going to stack this with my c3 pulley and using the ttm fuel rail and 550cc injectors tune for a dyno pull. hopefully i can crush 400/400 !!

 

that's one stout crank pulley!

 

Man, I think your going to need water/meth for cooling. I switched from a Code3 to a 178 with a belt wrap kit and the power increase is impressive but so is the heat. (IAT's) And I'm running a supercooler sized H/E and stock H/E in line. But WTF.... GO GO GO GO!!!

got that covered les . details to come!! if all works well should be able to run close to ambient during the 1/4 mile pass!

 

subscribed! 22-23 psi?

IC wrap, thermal coating? I can't remember what you have already done.

Can't wait to see what you come up with.

 

Look's pretty. I think Steve is trying to kick my ***.

 

wont kno the max boost till the fall when it cools off. dataloggs will follow. all the above with a wicked i/c twist!! same bat channel same bat time!
theres some new players in town!! (not really new but new to the v6 platform. they already have some of the fastest v8 m/b on the track!)

 

hmmm?

variable belt driven cooling! Now that would be sick

 

He'll do anything just to put you down!

Looking good Steve! Can't wait to see your results. I never worry much about the iat's because I let the car cool down in between passes when I race for 11 seconds.

 

do you logg your iat's? i see as much as a 40 to 50* inc during the run. kool that down to 20* and you dont pull timing and your power stays at max so you have more power to run. more power better time. wouldnt you rather have 100* iats during the run in fl or 140*?

 

I was excited when we chatted about this the other day. I am equally excited now. Looking forward to all the goodies going on the cars in the near future.

 

Should be a hoot, Steve. I have no doubts that your car will be at/near 400 RWHP...

I will go ahead and concede victory to you as the fastest member in the 'Boro... Now, you may have to wrestle that crown from Anthony a bit harder. Sources say he has the same/similar mods? I know he has lighter wheels

 

You are proably right. But the Eurocharged fan mod and Code-3 thermostat has helped quite a bit. I've never recorded my IAT's either.

 

the thing is neither one of those mods have anything to do with iat's when the system is separated from a high pressure to low pressure system. the i/c system runs much hotter at an instant boost is present. the fan mod cools the rad and engine as does the tstat. but my system flows independent of the engine so other mods are needed to reduce iat's to a low close to ambient level.

 

Shouldn't you be installing something right now.

 

On my 1/2 mile runs my IAT's hit 150º at around 110 mph and by 140 mph they were at 165º. The ECT's reached 204.8º. I'm convinced that water/meth injection is the easiest and most effective solution for me. (and 32) It's just a question of which system. Trunk mount meth kit or trunk battery relocation kit and front meth kit. As a side note, my AFR's were 13 until the IAT's got to 150º and then they started falling. I'm lucky nothing went boom! Now I'm told the 104 leans out the AFR's but probably saved me at the same time.

took your advice and waiting for a fone call!! your bad luck!!

 

The AIS fender mount kit looks nice.

 

Looking good. Much better than their original pulley setup.

 

You don't have to drive your AMG tomorrow, so you might as well get to work on the parts. Also, you're going to want to datalog tonight after the call comes, not wrench. I guess you're damned if you do, and damned if you don't. Flip a coin on it.
