Finally!

More info on it please.

Size? Hoses Size? Volume over stock? Split circuit? Direct bolt on?

Thanks,

Does it separate the cooling circuit?

unless you're using a reservoir large enough to add ice to, size is unimportant. the only reason you need a reservoir is to fill and burp the system.

...sorry, the short answer is yes...it's big enough.

You use eveything in the kit but the little Cm30 pump.Should be easy to integrate to your pump.Would be a nice addition for you kid!

with the stock system (including newer oem pump) i would reach high 160's within two wot bursts. now i can go wot as much as i want and it typically stays in the 120-130's (without ice).

Count me in for the group buy.

Quick question...Do I really need this if my stock IC pump(supposedly an upgraded one) was just replaced by MB earlier this yr? Well I guess it should be better because of more volume. Maybe a pulley is in the near future . When will you be done with your pulley vrus?

get a pully first, your car will run fine stock. unless you live in AZ or something with extream heat. but i would get this second. so if groupe buy makes it worth your cash get it now.

So far we are at 3 person pricing..

-----------------------------------------------

Fits all E/CLS with or without aux oil cooler.. We havent test fit on a SL or S yet but the S should be no problem because its got a huge bumper area.. The SL is the only one I am not sure of.

Hey Loren.. It will integrate with your current setup no problem. You can keep your CM90 pump if you want and when it fails install the CM30..

The CM90 was designed to run with a 1.5" inlet tube.. The CM30 is designed for a 0.75" inlet which is what our cars use. The CM30 has a much smaller footprint and is a direct plugin to our hoses not requiring a reducer like the CM90 does.

Mikey, you are never stepping on my toes... I appreciate all your input and your help.. If it wasnt for you, half these projects wouldnt exist.

Charles: Shipping is extra, but they will ship from the USA so it wont be as bad as coming from Canada.

congrats on the nice final product... great price too


FMIC should be a must if you add a bigger pulley..


We have a few new tuners such as VRP,LET, Code3 that will give the E55 tuning crowd a much deserved cost savings.


what is the capicity of your HE? Stock is around 28 oz. if I recall.

not just cost savings, but a wider choice as well. Keep up the good work guys.

Now all we need is a lowering module like renntech...but without the price

Good point...I'll give just the pulley a try and see how that works...It is pretty cold in Chicago nowadays.
