Evosport Kompressor Cooling Upgrade Package
After 3+ months of prototype road and dyno testing with extraordinary results, our E55 Kompressor Cooling Upgrade Package is ready to go. Here are a few pictures of our production package. Not shown in the pictures are heat spacers that we covered in previous threads.
Some basic facts:
1. 70-80F degrees reduction in Air Charge Temperatures (ACT)
2. 15-20 RWHP gain over EVOII Power Package.
3. Heavy Duty fluid pump with 600% increase in flow.
4. Secondary Heat exchanger increases total system capacity by 65%.
5. Latest technology Kevlar hoses and AN fittings for simple and leak free installation.
6. Can be easily uninstalled, with only one cut required to a fluid line.
We will post pricing, availability and additional information early next week.

Thank you EVO Sport!!!
These guys rule. It is here and now time to make 700hp with the E55. EVO hook me up. I want the hole 9 yards we will call it the EVO X package??? EVO hook me up. These cars are going to be sick!!!!!

Am I correct in assuming you made the transmission cooler smaller to fit the extra heat exchanger. It looks as if the tranny cooler is below the heat exchanger. How did you determine what size pump to use. Is there a point where the pump is too large and circulates water too fast through the heat exchanger creating resistance (heat) and not allowing the water enough time in the heat exchanger to transfer it's heat.

Kit looks great! Glad to see it in production.
Just a couple of questions:
1)Is the cooling circuit still shared between the supercharger's intercooler and the engine? Or have you guys separated the cooling circuits and created a dedicated circuit for just the intercooler?
2) Does the pump run all the time or is it still controlled by the ECU and turned on only when temps reach a certain level?
Thanks in advance

Pics look nice, but shouldn't a 70-80 degree drop in IAT (ACT) allow you to advance the timing enough to gain more than 15-20 rwhp? Or are you saying the mod will produce a 15-20 rwhp gain on its own without tweaking the ECU?
JMO, but with the current level of expense/power return on W211 mods (and I note that Evosport is certainly not the most expensive tuner out there), I have to think that someone is going to come up with a replacement blower for these cars that is more efficient and that will allow much larger power gains.

Since they will be selling this as a stand alone I would expect that it is 15-20 rwhp without tweaking the ECU which is AWESOME considering the car is still in stock format.

What you're saying would actually make more sense, because that is a heck of a drop in intake air temps, and I would think it would allow them to make a lot more than another 15-20 rwhp. I'm sure he'll clarify the issue.

It is for those of us that run our cars in different climates and conditions and experience significant performance decreases with each run.

R. Range,
To be honest, it's simple - no one wants to try it and blow their $30k motor... you have to understand the mentality is a lot different. A cobra guy is crazy and wants to run 9s on a stock block, the 55K cars, for the most part, just want to increase performance a little bit and still be well within the confines of their warranty.
Without this cooling upgrade, I'd be VERY wary of running anything more than 2-3psi more on a stock motor. This car @ stock boost already has some pretty significant trouble dealing with the heat.
FWIW, the C32 and SLK32 Kompressor cars ran the same blower @ 19-20psi without problems.

Let me see I can provide some answers:
1. The transmission cooler is located in the fender well, on the passenger side. You can see it's fan in the pictures. On the left. Cooler that is right behind our cooler is stock, primary heat exchanger for intercooler.
The pump we use is made for marine use and next size up from stock Bosch pump. Our main criteria is to make sure that we can get as close as we can to ambient temperature at the pump's inlet.
2. 1)Yes, we have separated intercooler circuit from engine cooling circuit.
2)Pump runs when engine is running.
There is possibly more power with more timing. However, 91 CA gas just will not let us go any further on advance.
Stock IHI kompressor is 2.2L. It should be good for 700HP (585 RWHP). What's keeping it from reaching this HP level is primarily intercooler design. Look at SLR, McLaren repositioned the intercoolers above intake ports. That motor can easily go to 700HP. Brabus already has a 660HP package.

Vadim,
Thank you for the info. Please e-mail me at iturk182@aol.com when you get them in. I just ordered the headers & spacers from you guys. I look forward to getting the cooling upgrade.
