SL 55 Heat Soak
OK - I wil preface this thread by saying "excuse my ignorance"...
I live in Arizona where it is in the 80's currently soon to be in the teens (113,114 etc...). I am replacing my IC pump (going with a Johnson) right a way as i am experiencing the same symptoms that so many have had.
My question is has anyone tried or had any succes with installing fan(s) in front of the intercooler? I have seen this done before on other SC or Turbo intercoolers so, i thought i would ask?
I hope that my question is not horribly stupid? If it is, i hope i brought a little entertainment to this forum...
Thank you
P.S., Smart a$$ comments will be well recieved as I have been known to laugh at my self regularly...

The real problem arises when the flow of liquid that exchanges the compressed-charge heat with coolant is disrupted. But you know all about that.

Which pump are you getting? Even after all my time spent on this forum, I am still confused on CM30 vs CM90 or whatever.. Someone help me out? Mines an 03 SL55 BTW..

I have your fix. 1st you go to your MB technician and have him adjust your fan mode for hot climates. This will make the fan cut on 10 degrees cooler and stronger. Next don't mess with these johnson pumps. You can afford the best. Go straight to the Dedenbear. I used to heat soak ever since my Renntech headers. temps regularly over the 90 mark. It never gets musch more than 1/2 way between the 80/90. I am in the south with 90% humidity and I run my Sl55 hard. No more heatsoak problems. Just my 2cents
