Intercooler options??

Hi guys

Just wondering what are the options for the E55's intercooler? The only that I have seen so far is the SLR units. From my little research, the SLR units are not bolt in affair for the E55, they need a lot of work to fit in the E55.

Any other options? Custom units? TIA

I'm here to learn.

Just to verify, I'm talking about the actual intercoolers that sit on both sides of the SC. Not the heat exchanger that sit in the front of the car.

Probably have to go custom. The guys with the heavy cooling mods are running two heat exchangers and some also have trunk mounted ice reservoirs. I dont think anyone (at least that I have come across) has upgraded the actual i/c.

Vadim has developed a custom intercooler for the 55K engine.

Havoc has it in his car: https://mbworld.org/forums/3705926-post32.html

what kind of IATs is he seeing with that setup? or i guess i'm more interested in the change (the delta) since switching to that setup from the previous i/c setup, if that has been measured and compared
