Ignition Voltage transformer cooling mod
Ignition Voltage transformer gets hot with heavy tunes
question was, Insulate it or Cool it .....
answer is, it needs to be cooled
order
3M Thermal Adhesive Tape for Heatsink 200x100mm
+ quare Aluminium LED Cooling Heatsink (156x156x15mm)
customize it if you want
there you go

Hi Joe !
dunno, didn't measure yet but based on some tuners works
thing is, this part is not supposed to burn out, but when you tune hard
only some excessive degrees can kill the device
I just upgraded it to latest so I try to protect it
so even a 10% better temp might save you a headache

MBWorld Fanatic!
The one guy that moved it off the top of the engine has the right idea I believe. Your hood scoops will do way more for it than the heat sinks can.

because the problem is the wires
the device is there because you can not really change the wiring length without risk
if you move it you should have bigger cables diameter by calculations
I was thinking about elevating it but no space ...
diameter and length of there wires transporting high voltage is critical
if it wasn't, that device would hang front radiator for me
believe me, it's a cheap and easy mod and only for tuned cars

just splicing in new cable of the same gauge will be fine

thanks for you input.

p.s. the ignition transformer was changed about 50,000 miles ago.

hi, do you think installing heat sinks on a cl600 used for every day driving with an occasional spirited drive is worth doing? the car does have a rentech tune, but is very rarely raced.

I would add protection
can't hurt, neither your walled
just 15$ or so
