I'm working on the plumbing side off things with help from a mate in the UK.

In regards the VRP belt system, I think I had more questions than answers.

Our Kleemann Dealer going to install SLR Cooler on his E55 on 14th of October...I will be there and take pics for you guys...They quote 14k for those pupies...say it provides 0.3-0.35 of extra boost or 35 HP...

I can wait to see the DYNO results with Finny VRP SLR coolers...hopefully thye would work even better...

Finny which picture I should copy from this thread and show my HEAD specialist...Going to do my head as soon 1st snow flies inn...SLR CAMS, SLR Coolers and HEADs should be a killer combo

Victor...I want to ask you...Now that many of US bought Carbon aiboxes, will SLR coolers work and fit with them ???


You guys need to work on tranny re-programming and re-inforcements...with the power we are going to see soon, we would need it...

Question

An amazing thread to say the least. I wish I could do all of that with my engine. :kicksrock:

I will say, two big threads I am so intrigued with without any results (see VRP Belt Wrap)...coitus interruptus!!!

Thumbs up Not Dead!

Ha Ha yeah guys, sorry it's been so long... Didn't want to mention all my personal crap but when I returned from Vegas "without going into much detail" my business was burgled where tools computers and data etc... was stolen including the 55 which was used in another crime where it's being held as evidence. All I know it's in one piece and it should be returned within four weeks.

When the 55 comes home I'll get back to finishing the project and get some figs and photos posted up. In the meantime I'll be working on my genetics business... For any one interested here is the link: www.mygene.net.au

Blue ***** someone mentioned.... yeah tell me about it!!! Plus a kick there too...

Back soon with big fat coolers!
