Installing airfilters today and ready to go test soon. No need for all the so called cold air intakes or bigger intercoolers. I will show you guys how cold my iats will become.
I replaced the tubes. Took them
off and soldered other ones in place. Easy job. Looking at it. I think many people get missfires after the plugs get changed. This is most likely because of the springs being pressed in. And the new plugs wont touch perfectly.
Here you see the spring in the plug pushed back and blocked. Like melted in And here you see how it should be.
Engine block 230F. Intercoolers 55/60F Relocated the vt/icu. It was so boiling hot in the middle of the engine. I could never touch it with my hands. And here you see how ice cold my intercoolers are even after hours in hot tropical traffic jams. They 60/70F below ambient temp ;-). So you can imagine how cold the vt/icu is now.
I made a bracket for it and use the 4 bolt holes to press it down.
Will make pics asap of the bracket. I just put it in this photo as a temporary try with cableties.
Now just took both intercoolers off today to see what happens if i box the intercoolers into aero-gel.
The vt/icu could have easily be placed by the box where ecu and brake booster sits. I still cant find a reason why mercedes put it in the centre of the v12tt oven.
Did you have to lengthen any wires to move the VT? Or is there enough slack in the wiring so it's something we can all do to move it onto the intercooler
Can you post more details to give us better ideas? For example, I did DRL on my boy 04 S430.
The length of the light is 85cm. On the wire harness, the 1st yellow wire is for running light, the 3rd brown wire is ground, the 6th gray wire is for turn signal.
That is a great 600 you have built there!! I have a Killer Chiller on my Ford Lightning. Very efficient for cooling. The only time it REALLY sucks is when you are stuck in hours of traffic in very very hot weather. Then it makes you reconsider the modification as my cockpit gets pretty muggy with the freon trying to keep up with the heated coolant. Have you considered the air intake boxes and building something with bigger piping for the turbos? Did you do anything with the rear axles? I remember a member on here years ago that used to run nitrous on his 600. He had a problem blowing up LSD's and axles on his car. Its a big heavy beast to launch.
