The reason I ask is that living in the desert, we also have to take into consideration of how much surface area of the radiator is exposed for proper cooling during the summer. If the oil cooler is mounted on the bottom in front of the radiator and condenser, we are taking away some of the effectiveness of those coolers.

Ditto on what Hhughes said about pricing.

jobee

thats a nice looking unit !!! great work, please let us know on pricing and yes a tranny cooler would be a much needed piece for me at the track, i gotta keep up with some of the guys at the track

What is a decent price for these outside of the AMG benz surreal life? 400 - 500?

There goes my holiday budget. Definitely interested. Nice to see more toys coming our way.

Looks like they got one installed..

would there be any power gained from this mod on a dyno?, I agree the fan would need to be as big as possible to copy what happens on the road

Any updates?? Three of us are running Sebring this weekend. Need a test mule?

FluidMotorUnion

Currently, we're not done with development yet, as the C63 we're currently slated to run our final set of tests on won't be back in the shop for another few weeks (for that job, at least).

Once we've actually got everything hammered out and finalized, we'll be back here with more information.

Sadly, we wouldn't be able to have a test copy ready by this weekend for Sebring. Even though it'd be a "test mule" thing, we don't want to push an item out of our doors that we're not 100% satisfied with.

Please keep us updated. As the summer heat arrives we are putting more and more stress on these engines with the heat AND losing a ton of power because of the heat.
THANK YOU!

Dads C63

Any updates??
We will be running Homestead March 19th with Chin Motorsports and the heat will be worse than last weekend in Sebring. HELP!!

THANK YOU!

Keith-

We've moved from "probably not" to "maybe, with a caveat here and there."

The reason we brought it back into development was because we encountered an issue that we've since dealt with in a small redesign (that doesn't affect the flow or the capacity of the cooler). But we haven't had time to test the redesign on a production model, as our test mule won't be back in our hands until after your race date. Regardless, we are very confident that the single kink has been worked out and the cooler should function properly under heavy load conditions, such as a track day in the hot weather.

That being said, OJ (the owner) and I have started talking, and we are probably going to offer a discount on our software tune to one of our C63 customers in order to get a car here for testing. If that can happen, we can send you the oil cooler for you to use on the track.

Otherwise, we could always send you the finalized design if we are unable to procure a C63 for testing, well enough ahead of the race day so that you're able to test it on your own C63.

The weather in Chicago is absolute garbage currently; temperatures are fluctuating from below freezing to 50 deg F, it's raining and snowing intermittently, so attempting any sort of heavy load testing on the roads here would be quite dangerous and something we would NEVER do with a car that wasn't actually ours.

Let me know what you think about this. You can always e-mail me personally, which might be a bit faster in terms of reply time.

My e-mail is in our signature.

Let's keep talking about this.

If you are looking for people to test this in real world situations, I'll be more than happy to assist. I'm scheduled for some track days in April and May in Texas and can give the cooler a good workout.

you should shoot fmu an email at "andrew@fluidmotorunion.com"!

Blown63

Can't wait for fmu to be ready with their oil cooler, I am looking forward to continue working with fmu!

GHAZAN

weird *** post...did they rufi u

Blown63

Yeah sorry on my phone, but yeah I have been working with fmu with their midsection and as soon as they are ready with the cooler, they will be installing and testing it on my car.

dodger63

Right, like out of the blue, like why are you telling anyone this.!

Blown63

I was unaware there was a thread about this project until I searched it just today. It is going to be done soon, so I thought i would give those that subscribed to this thread an update. I'm sorry if were not allowed to post freely on this site.

hamdanalqubaisi

Any update ?

qship5

It is listed on their web site under products for $1,899. As much as I think an oil cooler is beneficial, there's no way I'll spend that much $ for one.

Glock Guru

ditto!!!!!





BTW, what ever happen to this project?

350driver

Any updates on the project or did it die off?

alrasheed1991

I have one and tried it , it dosent work the OEM cooler is better than FMU and it suppose to lower oil temp guess what the opposite happend increase in Oil temp .

350driver

That is good to know. I am looking for a solution to the possible oil-temp issues that I am reading about on the 2012 cars. I would like to take the car to the track, but I am reading that after 2 or so hot laps, the car goes into limp mode. Does the Modern Horsepower 180F Thermostat help with overall temps in the car? I am reading that is lowers average coolant temps by 10+ degrees, but I am not sure how it effect the overall cooling on the car.

Anyone looked into retrofitting the larger Black Series oil cooler/BS upgraded cooling components?

Just looking for what options are out there.

Thanks

Dads C63

The MHP intake gaskets and thermostat will help. You can also retrofit the black series tranny cooler and oil coolers without a problem. I just did it on an 09 with the black series front bumper.
