***PLM HEAT EXCHANGER***

Gents!

I'm about to pull the trigger on a PLM H/E. My only concern is that the seller states that there is not a PLM part number on it.

To those of you who own one or are just filled with an abundance of knowledge, DOES A GENUINE PLM H/E HAVE A BRAND OR PART NUMBER ON IT?

I have had mine on for a long time now, before most knew of them. No issues. Bought them and their headers for a killer price.

For the price you should get in on the group buy that Eurocharged is having on their heat exchanger. Its made by C&R and is a dual pass exchanger. You wont need to question if its genuine or not either.

not sure of the exact sizes, but the EC exchanger is bigger than the PLM one.. I know that for sure.

Eurocharged Performance ML63 and TT lambo
thanks for the support guys, yes we have a pretty good deal on ours right now.

Big difference in product quality. C&R does build them to our specs and also do all the HE's for nascar. They are using high end cores (very important) and our unit is 4 lbs lighter then the other ones.

There are only a few spots left on the GB, get it while it lasts for the pricing.

I believe it is approx 2.25x28.5x5.5. It is a little larger than stock and has excellent fit.

As stated above, it is a great deal with the included Johnson pump on ebay.

Thanks for that.

PLM's C32h/e core is somehow BIGGER than their e55 core, and is cheaper? Below is the dim from ableway for the the C32 core:
27.75 in X 7.125 in x 2.25

That is essentially the same core size as the EC, zpzz (or however you spell it). Interesting stuff. I wonder who's gonna go try it first. Or is the PLM's C32 core pointless because the only advantage they had was being bolt-on?

I know a few people who have used and than shortly after fails... running that thing all the time... kills its FAST.

Bosch HD 010 pump, is the trusted name, and name Benz uses for a reason is the way to go... but if cm30 is working rock it, personally i like to have the piece of mind knowing my bosch hd will run all the time without dying...

The irony? original OEM pumps were also Bosch, no?
