If so, how much did you lower temps vs stock?

What are your temps after driving in stop and go traffic?

Thanks

Just helps with recovery time, as the intercooler is too damb small for anything to help.

Recommended, YES!!!

Thanks for the response.

Was looking to lower temps as my temps range from 110-150 in 90* heat.....

I am having a shop fabricate one for me, will keep you all posted.

Any luck on this?

Have had this for a year now

Is it effective? Reduced temps?

Yes

Anyone with experience from this HE from Eurocharged? I have a 2008 CL65 and I'm in need of better cooling!

Marky

Nobody with experience from the Eurocharged HE mentioned in the post above?

biturbine

Apparently it brings the temps down faster and reduces temps about 10-15F.... This is what i was told be eurocharged, better to give them a call....

Marky

Have already been in contact with them.

I'm just intrested to hear from someone with real world experience from this HE.

I'm going for a bigger HE, a better pump (leaning towards Meziere) and ECU/TCU.

biturbine

I can tell you that the pump and ecu/tcu work well. I was able to run with a z06 on the highway.... As for the he, i imagine that any core moved away from the hot sandwich should make an improvment with heat efficiency.....

I have an 06 SL65 (R230) and I first installed the Renntech designed front condenser system.

Four years ago I went to buy the system from Renntech at $4,200 and I noticed an MB sticker with a part number on their condenser. I thought I should check the MB part number before dropping $4,200 (uninstalled) on a small box of parts and I discovered that they were just using a standard MB heater core found in numerous MBs. Their system had that condenser with a few custom brackets and small rubber hoses. I ordered the condenser from my local MB Dealer for $168 and ordered the brackets and hoses from Renntech @ $200 thus saving almost $3,900 for the exact same parts (sorry Renntech). The MB/Renntech condenser is about 4 inches tall 22 inches long and 2 inches deep.

When I removed the front bumper I was surprised to see that on my SL65 from the factory was the exact same condenser and that Renntech was just adding a second condenser. That system worked better then stock but still heat soaked quickly. I already had the late upgraded Bosh 010 pump so I kept that.

About a year ago I installed the larger S600/CL600 front condenser (diagram attached herein) that fits very tightly but required almost no mods, along with a BMW Meziere pump from Speedriven that they modify for the application. The condenser is very thin but has 4 times the surface area of the Renntech. The system is extremely hard to bleed and takes hours of squeezing the hoses and letting the pump run but once bled does make a huge difference over the previous system. It still heat soaks but takes much longer and recovers much faster.

What I find is that while initially bleeding the system using clear plastic tubing I did notice that very tiny micro bubbles persisted. I have a feeling that either there are micro bubble attached inside that dislodge in the system OR more likely the impeller in the Meziere pump is cavitating and causing the micro bubbles. About every three months I have to re-bleed the system and do find large air bubbles that escape and allow 10-12OZ/300-500 ML more water into the system... I also still see those very tiny micro bubbles floating in the system even after hours of the pump running both with the water hot and ice cold.

Whoa! Seems like there is no low maintenance solution to reducing temps in these beasts...

I ordered a IC Pump and a HE from Eurocharged and having it installed this week, from what indy shop says, the stuff from Eurocharged is much better then the stock stuff, but I will find out for myself later this week

Make sure you use a pressure bleeder to get rid of all the air in the system after the install

Had a question, do you still have or know that/those part numbers for those parts? If so, I would greatly appreciate it if you could let me know. I am looking to modify my 2011 CL65 which I bought from Carmax. Whats the best mod in terms of heat exchangers?
