AMG E Power

So I decided to to drive the beast today being I havent drove her for almost 2 weeks. I live in Tampa FL and this time of yr it's hell on earth here, not only the heat but The damn humidity is crazy. So I'm driving on the high way doing some pulls from 60 and 70 MPH and one of the times I punch it and hear no whine from the blower and i felt I lost 100 HP or more. I know I know IC pump but the coolant temp is always at 85-90 degrees Celsius. Plus when I got off I punch the throttle again and the superchargers working I don't get it. I have a EC heat exchanger so idk maybe that still is not enough for this FL heat. Any ideas ?
Thanks everyone

berti_00

it will be enough when we got those headers on lmao...

AMG E Power

Lmao hopefully being the headers are also a cooling mod ! I can't wait man, when u get back to the states again ?

berti_00

i got 9 days left man... cant to be back too

It's not the coolant temp but the iats
go buy a cheap scan gauge and look at your iats I'm sure they are over 180*

either get a better cooling system or don't beat on your car in 100* weather

AMG E Power

Ya that's what I figured. I wasn't really beating on it to begin with a few pulls and that's it. The only thing I can think of is a trunk reservoir being I have already upgraded the heat exchanger

Hulk

Ya but remember in that fl heat with the humidity , the sc will create lots of heat and a few pulls is all it takes for the temps to climb...even with the trunk tank it will help but the temps will still climb but will go down quicker than if you didn't have one

what pump are you running

AMG E Power

So what would u suggest I do to beat the heat lol

Hulk

The tank will help but it's mostly for the track to put ice

AMG E Power

To be honest I'm not quite sure. It's most likely the standard Bosch pump. Idk if it's the updated 010 one tho.

Hulk

I'm thinking your pump should be checked, how big is your pulley?

AMG E Power

No pulley only upgraded EC heat exchanger and soon to be headers next week I will get it looked at but u probably nailed it earlier when u said check my iats. Doesn't the supercharger shut off at 200 ?

Hulk

Starts pulling timing at around 150* but with no pulley and getting heat soaked, my freind you have a bad pump, get a new upgraded Bosch or Johnson pump and no more shutty off

AKnight55

My supercharger was shutting off, but a Johnson cm30 fixed it quickly. Never had it shut off again

RedBullJnky

Get a Johnson or Meziere and separate the cooling system. It won't happen again. Don't worry about the trunk tank unless you upgrade the pulley. The headers will also help.

AMG E Power

Thanks again guys

Did you split the coolant?

AMG E Power

No sir, I have not

Forrest Gump 9

There's your answer. Going from high pressure to low pressure do wonder to the ait, the flow, and the longevity of the pump.

GT-ER

I don't have a split system and use a bosch pump and a couple of days ago I did some 40-100mph pulls in 100* heat and my IAT's never even touched 150*. You have a bad pump or air in your system.

im so glad i read this thread. my pump must be completely shot, i sometimes loose the supercharger after only 2 long pulls. i always thought it was just how all e55's were and that was a down side of the heat issues. glad to hear i can take car of this issue for cheap lol

You need to log AITs to be sure, but my guess (as has been already suggested) is your IC pump is dead....

A few simple upgrades will take care of your issue. Your problem is your supercharger is suffering from heat soak causing it to shut down. Installing an upgraded heat exchanger and better flowing inner cooler pumper will take care of your issues. You can go a step further and separate the cooling system for just the supercharger. Contact Steve at Fabtech-performance for a great deal and a wealth of knowledge. I am pretty sure that he is located in Florida as well.

update, Im not so sure the pump is dead. my car was just pulling real hard from 30-50 rolls. I think the iats got to high and that was the cause of it shutting off. If it was dead the supercharger wouldnt b working period right ?
