C32/SLK32 Kompressor Cooling Package

Here’s a great performance upgrade opportunity for your C32 or SLK32. Several C32 and SLK32 owners have seen the great results gained from the evosport E55 Cooling Package and have expressed interest in a similar cooling package for their cars. It’s true that these cars can definitely use more charge cooling. If there is enough serious interest in this package, we can complete the required development and make it available within approximately 30-days. It would include:

- 600% higher capacity fluid pump (90 liters per minute vs. 15 liters per minute)

- Pump mounting bracket

- Electrical pump relay

- High-tech flex hoses for maximum durability

- AN fittings for easy installation

- Intake surge tank phenolic heat spacers with gaskets



Benefits include reduction of air intake temperatures by over 20F, more consistent and repeatable performance and 20-25F decrease in intake manifolds surface temperatures.


Retail price would be $1,199. We would offer an introductory special price of $949 for the first 10 firm orders.



Let us know right away if you are seriously interested. If we get 10 orders, we will build it!

Is this higher capacity fluid pump a replacement for the same stock intercooler pump that is prone to failures on the C32?

If I don't trade this car, I would definately be interested, especially since I'll start to mod it. Combine the intercooler that is too small, with our 91 octane gas (summer blend is more like 85), with extreme arizona summer heat, and I basically have a car that I just leave in the garage 4 months out of the year...

Here are some answers:

Does that price include installation?
No, installation is additional, around 4 hrs.

will it look stock? do you have any pictures?
Stock pump is buried under passenger side headlight, so it is not visible, even with the hood open. We do not have a complete picture of the kit yet. Picture below is from E55 package, items crossed out will not be in C32 package. Picture of phenolic heat spacers can be found in early posts.

Is this higher capacity fluid pump a replacement for the same stock intercooler pump that is prone to failures on the C32?
Yes, stock Bosch pumps have been failing quite frequently on both C32s and E/S/SL/CL55s.

there's no upgrade to the heat exchanger or IC?
There is simply no room to add an additional heat exchanger. Both C32 and E55 have the same size stock heat exchanger from AMG.

will the EVOSPORT stage 2 work with this package?
Yes, this pump was originaly part of EVOIII Power Package.

isn't it true tho vadim that without an increase in cooling capacity, intake temps will still rise to an unacceptable level, just not as quickly?

also, with more coolant in the system and no increase in cooling capacity, won't it take longer to cool down and potentially get hotter?

I think the point of a stronger pump is that is cycles the coolant through the intercooler/heat exchanger much more frequently which would reduce temperatures and also do so much faster.

Count me in. A little lower introductory price would have been nice but I guess you guys do need to make some money.

i c your point, but the underperforming ic can only do so much even if you pump more coolant through it. it needs a larger ic to go with the pump and more coolant capacity. only doing one thing, will help, but not as much.

what sort of pressure increases occur with the 90l/m pump? can the cooling system handle the added pressure?

Are there any power gains from this mod? I know that with turbocharged cars, if you change to a larger intercooler pipe you'll get more power but I don't know if that's the case with our cars.

I've talked to Kleemann about this in the past. They said that with just this change, they can run successive dyno runs and the car thermally recovers very quickly where stock they have to wait 15 to 30 minutes for the car to cool off. No doubt a larger ic would help more but it you can't find one that fits, especially for an SLK32, this is a good alternative.

is it an aquarium pump? I hear people with Typhoons upgrade their air/water IC by adding a high flowing aquarium pump!!!

The pump we use is a marine pump used to drain fluids.

If you are interested, please contact Mike at 714.901.3100 x1.

Thank you everyone for interest.

would this work on a c230k?

i would think, vadim, that you would want to market this product to that audience as well, there are a lot more of them than c32/slk32 owners. more volume more $$$.

schwarzwagen: Thanks for a advice, but C230K uses an air-to-air intercooler, so obviously this package is not going to work.

As far as making a bigger air-to-air intercooler for C230K, it has been done before without any major power gains. Stock Eaton supercharger is the bottleneck.

We are working a number of products for M271 1.8L engines.

exactly, we are used to high prices but this is just a water pump (any boat store)

well i mean i guess we are paying for the R&D time and the brackets to make this fit... also for the hoses!! Also paying for peice of mind knowing that it will work and that we dont have to go through the headache of putting something together ourselves and making it fit ourselves (for anyone who doesnt like to do backyard mechanics it would be a good thing).

This pump and the air temp sensor in the MAF killed one of my cars. Just happened by the dealership and was talking to the service rep about my ex-car. They fixed it and this pump failing will intermittantly shut down the car and make it stall depending on the supercharger temp. It is some kind of fail safe designed to keep it from seizing from heat. Based on real life experience, this seems like a worthwhile mod to me.
