[55AMG] Whats the point with upgraded H/E and pumps, If...
...the SC Intake Air cooling is coupled with the engines cooling fluid?
If i got the setup right, you will *NEVER* get lower Intake Air temps than your engines cooling fluid temperature, no matter how big you choose your H/E and/or upgraded fluid pumps.
I believe it only makes sense for better recovery times after many hard pulls.
How much colder would the fluid be for the SC intake air cooling, if i would separate the system from the engine cooling fluid?
Anyone tried this and what are the Results?

The 2 cooling systems share a common expansion resovior and that's really all. So when people talk about mixing the fluids, the only mixing is done in the tank..
You can see the path the cooling fluid takes in this diagram.. The pump (preferably the hi flow bosch 010 unit) takes cool liquid and pumps it past the intercooler fins, cooling the intake air charge, and picking up heat. The hot liquid moves down (red hoses in the picture) and into the stock heat exchanger. Ambient air from outside (or the engines cooling fan) removes the heat and cools the fluid.. And is then drawn back into the intercooler pump to start the cycle again.
You can add in an additional heat exchanger and the system will "piggyback" the 2 heat exchangers, running them in series- with the additional benefit of holding more liquid in total.
A high flow pump is also recommended, because when your IC pump fails to circulate enough coolant fast, then the engine ecu senses the increased temperatures and annoyingly just deactivates the supercharger clutch.. Dropping power from 500hp to about 300hp. But no check engine light comes on.
The way I have my setup, with the hi flow bosch ic pump, additional eurocharged heat exchanger, manual IC pump control, -10c cooling fan mod (changes the cooling fan activation threshold) and a bottle of water wetter
There is no recovery time so to speak. The system recovers pretty much instantly, and never loses power.
