there must be a way to overcome S/C heat, some SLRs have Turbos with the S/C, and of course we now turbos feed the S/C, but really no information on how they control the heat.
i think i will go for 50 shot of NOS pre TB for cooling it. and call it the day.

Honestly, I just don't feel there are any benefits of having the 185 over the 180. I'll know more after Famoso when the weather cools.

My best time is a 10.776 and I doubt I'll ever beat that again but if I do I won't complain...lol.
All though I've added a few mods, plus taken some away, and right now I'm probably about .1-.2 slower, but I'll know for sure at Famoso. As is I would predict that my car would probably do high 10.8's at 128.
I need to visit Jeremy again before race day to finalize my tune with my new additions. After this season I'll more than likely retire the E and move on to a different platform. I believe my car has given me more than I could have ever wished for

IMO I think a 180 is the perfect size with additional cooling. Once again it will depend on what you want out of your car. For me, it's all about 1320'.Originally Posted by E55Bullet

do you have some news

Thanks!!

Like Scott said, he'll be going under the knife tomorrow and hopefully he'll recover in time to do the install. I'm very anxious to see how this system will work on a cooling system like ours Aaron...
. Keep in mind, all the info gathered is on a stock cooling system with only a upgraded HE. I'm sure you'll be one of the first to hear about how it works MBWorld Fanatic!

I wonder if Jeremy would make the trip up to Famoso for some track/tune time... I need to see him before hand - Ill ask.
I think that with the KC, bassn will pull a 10.5 or better.. thats my guess

Thanks Bramage for the vote of confidence but pulling a 10.5 will take much more than that. IMO a 10.5 would take an amazing 60' time, I'm thinking somewhere in the high 1.4's to low 1.5's. This would be near impossible on a stock tranny and converter. Originally Posted by Bramage

I was also hoping to get my car back to the local track before Famoso but time isn't going to allow it. I really wanted to get some solid data from Sac before going to Famoso with a different setup.
As for the KC, I'm very excited to test out the unit on my car to see how it responds to my additional cooling over Scott. I will report back with some solid logging numbers, inside cabin temps, and any other factor regarding its performance. I have very high hopes in this system.
MBWorld Fanatic!
Well boys, the KC will be going in tomorrow and some testing will be done. I'll report back when I get some good solid info.

Sorry for bringing this up from the dead but was any progress made on the benefits of using the KC?
MBWorld Fanatic!
Any idea when a killer chiller will be available for our E55s?
MBWorld Fanatic!
Yes there is, MBTEK sells one, unless you contact Kincaid directly, pay the $550 and re-route a bit of plumbing. Simple as that, and PearlPower is currently doing one on his car.
