Currently looking at upgrading the cooling system (radiator & aux coolers)

I have seen kits that replace the radiator and the x2 auxiliary coolers and other kits that replace just the main radiator and separate the transmission

My question is, which kit would be better? and if the oem cooling system should be upgraded
Also if the car is running meth injection is that enough to bring the temps down?

Car is equipped with a stage 3 and meth injection

So far I'm researching the same thing. I've been quoted locally for CSF coolers which cost $3499 AUD for the radiator and both auxilliary coolers at Scuderia Auto in Artarmon.
The thing is, other people on this board have said CSF coolers are shiit and Wagner tuning coolers are the ones that we should buy so now I'm confused mate.

Yours getting a lot of heat soak? Cos I'm already getting really bad heat soak after a 30 min drive can feel the power loss and I'm only running just over 600hp (380rwkw) stage 1 with stock hardware.

Hope your car is all good now by the way.

Not sure if its getting alot of heak soak but i would say so, its the air temps that would be the killer

So some are saying the CSF kit isnt the greatest?

Upgrade cooling best choices for C63S in 2022 (so far)


CSF

(Testing data and results upon request, most expensive)


Victory Road Performance

(Never provided any testing data or results, cheapest)


Wagner Tuning

(40-50% larger capacity than CSF but no shipping options on the website to Australia)

I want the Wagner tuning set but if they're not shipping to Australia then that's that. I've sent them an email now about shipping to oz so i'll see what these blokes say.

We have done extensive testing on our design (We think the most published results) and are able to show significant improvement over the stock system. We also do things a bit differently with the fluid flow path by changing the primary radiator to a 3 pass instead of a single pass.

Here is our product launch thread that explains all the testing as well as the overall design.
