>>The ACT Reservoir - Active Cooling Tank Available<<
ACT - Active Cooling Tank
LET Motorsports is pleased to announce availability of the next part for those seeking maximum performance: The Active Cooling Tank, or ACT.
The 55/32 Kompressor motors, as well as the 600 and 65 Biturbos use an air-to-water circuit to provide cooling of the intake charge. This charge-cooler circuit, sometimes referred to as the intercooler circuit, gets heat-soaked rapidly in stock configuration. Modified cars running more boost heat-soak even faster – ultimately reducing performance!
A larger front-mount heat exchanger (FMHE) helps a great deal, as it adds fluid volume to the circuit and recovers faster than the smaller stock unit.
The ultimate solution? The Active Cooling Tank.
This trunk-mounted reservoir is the best for 3 reasons:
1) It increases the total fluid volume of the cooling circuit by XXX liters
2) It allows for ice to be added to the circuit, increasing efficiency to GREATER THAN 100%
3) The ACT has a second, separate interior tank for dry ice – you can run BOTH !!!
Details include:
Fully insulated double wall construction – billet brackets – AN-10 swivel fittings – large access ports for ice – welded drain port – screened outlet – integrated heatsink on dry ice tank – downtube for CO2 evacuation – top-quality materials and construction throughout – 1 year warranty
The ACT kit includes all fittings, hoses and brackets required for install. Also included is a circuit separation kit, to eliminate the crossover pipe to the engine's coolant.
Due to the unique shape and design of the tank, there is sufficient room to place a supplementary pump (+$175) or nitrous bottle in the remaining area of the spare tire well.
Pricing has been set as follows:
ACT tank only: $ 499.99
ACT tank kit: $ 649.99
ACT tank + pump $ 824.99
(Prices do not include shipping.)
We are now taking orders for these vehicles:
E55 – CLS55 – SL55 – CL55 – S55
SL600 – CL600 – S600
SL65 – CL65 – S65
C32
Estimated delivery in 1-2 weeks

I will have timeslips by this weekend, but we are expecting 2 tenths and 2 MPH in the quarter-mile.
Install is not difficult, but requires taking off the underbody panel(s.) I would budget 3 hours with a lift, 4 without.

I know the feeling....I was stuck at 12.02, 12.06 and a replacement (working) IC pump got me to 11.9x.
