Tear it out, you don't need it wouldn't you rather drop your IAT's 40+ degrees w/ICE cooler?

Funny how different these models are, my SL is bare metal under main carpet piece, had spare/tools etc mounted to floor of trunk...

would luv to see these #s...
stock IAT
FMHE IAT
ACT IAT
FMHE+ACT IAT

i might just keep ice at work/home at all times and shove it in everyday....

Many questions, now we need answers.

+1...

From someone's car...

It's not as big as some of the other guy's on this forum, but it werks...

any Updates / answers please?

Is that a water / meth injection kit on the side?

I've looked into a trunk mounted reservoir extensively - and as long as we leave the heat exchanger in place it will actually help to melt the ice even quicker.

The hoses running from the back to the front will either need to be heavily insulated ($$$ and weight!) or will let heat in from the exhaust and underbelly of the vehicle. The pump will create heat, and unless it goes straight into the intercooler from the pump the heat exchanger will actually "pre-heat" the coolant.

For this to work and be effective the hoses need to keep as much heat out of the coolant as possible, and there really needs to be a temperature sensitive bypass valve next to the heat exchanger. If the water approaching the valve is colder than the coolant/water in the heat exchanger it stay shut. When the coolant from the ice box has become heat soaked the valve(s) would introduce the heat exchanger into the system, along with it's capacity in nice cool coolant.

I've used trunk mounted ice boxes on a few supercharged and turbo mustang setups, and needed to change out the coolant after every pass down the drag strip with reservoirs about 2-3 times the size of the one we're looking at in this thread.

I think it WILL help with ETs, and love the design to allow Dry ice, but am skeptic at best until we see some numbers. IAT before and after would be great.

it suuuuuure looks like it

how's it working out for ya. pm details pleaseeee. i didn't think anyone was running w/m injection on e55s. i have been contemplating for a while on doing this

Check yer box...

Hey Sun, did you need to tune with it? Did you also do before and afters with the setup?

I to your monster and I can't wait to see it run at Famoso.

Thanks for hooking me up with Serge. He's a great guy and ended up helping me out on a Saturday and offered his help on Sunday..... Awesome customer service and his time and efforts are truly appreciated. You Socal boys are lucky to have someone like that .

Thanks again Serge!!!!!!!!!!!

Check yer box too...

It would be hard to call my car a monster. That name should be reserved for people like you, Angela, and Mikey! Now YOU guys have MONSTERS...If only I could keep up with yall!!!

Glad he could help you out. He definitely knows the ins and outs of our cars and he's a great asset to the benz community.

Sorry for hi-jacking this thread. If anyone has any questions just shoot me a pm. Don't want this thread to be about anything other then The ACT Reservoir - Active Cooling Tank.

DOOOO EEEEETTTT!!!! Are you associated with any tuning company? Doesn't the methanol also make the car run rich? Like Sun said, lets start a new thread about this

Having a methanol kit with an optional tune that you could flip on and off on the fly would be very beneficial to these cars, i'd definitely be interested.

You among others inspired my install

Means alot coming from you buddy!

well said....I'm the type of shopper who is driven by results and reviews!

It's been over a week not a word. Maybe it still has some kinks to work out.

Thanks for getting back with us.

LET has a pretty good reputation, it's odd we've not heard anything new on this.

Is anyone ever going to answer questions we have on this? I was interested in getting one.
