was bored and doing some searching for random car parts and came across a website dedicated to cooling stuff (frozenboost.com)

I think a lot can be gained from upgrading out intercooler. I remember many saying this was the weakpoint in our setup. I know code3 tried a intercooler upgrade setup that I believe failed from everyones viewpoint b/c nothing was improved after install, install was a PITA because of fitment issues, and the cost was high.....

anyone think one of these water/air ICs may fit or may be a good or suitable upgrade to our current IC?

Fitment issues would be the main issue I think. It would be great if we could do it somehow. This is above my skill level right now.

jturkel

me too....thats why i posted it b/c i dont know lol.....i dont know the stock dimensions, volume, etc....and am not sure if any of these would be a good replacement that might be bigger and still fit. idk just something i thought i'd share i came across in case it was any good

...hmm...or keep the stock IC and run this inline as a second IC? That would be pretty trick. Space is an obvious issue however.

Josh we need to do some data logging on your temps. then split your system and do some more logging.

This is what we need...

I bought some stuff from this site(2 times), they are very organized, i payed online by credit card, they send me email about payments and the day after they shipped the items and they send email also directly about the tracking number, also their prices are the best, good deals with them.

jturkel

are those SLR intercoolers? where is the intake on that car?

jturkel

well i think im gonna get a gauge (in my feeler/groupbuy thread) with datalogging capabilities. i'll do some logging, then split it, then do some more....and then take it from there i guess...

///AMG4EVER

Yep, SLR style intercoolers. Renntech offers it for an arm and a leg.

The intake is right there... look closely at the TB, it's a mushroom type filter molded into a scoop designed to take air from the back hood. Renntech did this on a SL55 and they had to use a hood scoop that imo looked like crap.

Anyway, if you are really into upgrading the IC, you need to contact Vadim to pick up where he left... He designed SLR style dual intercoolers for our cars back when they were worth something. Here is a couple of pics for your enlightment (all Vadim's property and credit). It's a shame it didn't get finished.

jturkel

gotcha....

wow that is cool. i think i kinda remember this yrs ago....this must have been how he got to make 420whp or whatever on 91 with only a 178 pulley. interesting.

i'm sure temps are much cooler with two intercoolers at that location as well. but costs an arm and a leg? hmm...

rockjock

you guys need an air to air set up....that'd honestly be the cats meow in my book....
wouldnt be all that hard to set up either if you think about it......
glad I bought a 55

jturkel

^lol....wanna design it?

rockjock

Right after I install my counter tops, tile 2 baths, entry and fireplace....projects came in
Oh, and I'll need someons C32 for 3 months to "test" on-I'll give you a great discount on the final product too

Havoc

Vadim fabricated a set for me.
He’s been working on them for a few months now. He went with a totally new design and they look nothing like what is in the photos. I saw them two weeks ago and not only do they look awesome; they are massive! They’re completed now; however he’s currently working on the finish and the intake setup. Stay tuned as he will be posting pics soon…

jturkel

for your project 55? for the 32 too (though doubt it)?

Havoc

It's for the 55 and will fit both the E and SL models.

This type of cooler can be made for the 32. You just have to be the pioneer with some time, some money and lots patience.

SilverBulletAMG

Highly doubt it's for the 32. Even if it was, the price would most likely be staggering.

Havoc

Once Vadim has completed the ones for the 55, then he might have a solution for the 32. Perhaps it's just building one that's a 1/4 smaller than the 55's, but it all comes down to fitment.

And about the price, it's not that staggering and it didn't cost me an arm and a leg.

jturkel

what is your arm and leg worth? lol....i think mine might be worth less

Vadim @ FD

I will have official annoucement very shortly. The fire in the shop pushed a lot of stuff back.

Stay Tuned!

Havoc

Sorry little buddy, I can't help but talk about them!

I bet your coolers is what put that fire out!
