did the split today.
I had cb tuning do the intercooler split today. I have this routed the way i did on my lightning big difference in temps. I compared it to another e55 there with a johnson pump and big heat exchanger that car has a pulley though very close in temps on this hot day.

When you guys split the system, do you still run coolant for the heat exchange? Why not run straight distilled water? It dissipates heat much faster than mixed coolant.

If you are looking for tenths or 100ths at the track, run distilled water and some water wetter. The rest of the time, run some antifreeze for corrosion protection IMHO.

Can you post the specs on your reservoir ? It looks like you used an overflow tank, but it would save a lot of time for all of us, if you posted the part number. Thanks in advance

Here are some pics of the connection that has to be altered. It is located on the lower right hand side area of the radiator. After every thing is done make sure that none of the hoses are touching the alternator pulley.
In stock form
Undo top clamp and close the barb as shown in the pic
Attach a 3/4 inch barb on this end. One end of the bard will go into the factory tube the other end will connect to the reservoir. remember the reservoir is only a fill point

The clamps are a PITA even with 12" snips. I use a Dremel being careful about depth and surroundings, bam, done in no time.

its a 03-04 cobra res. works perfect as it worked perfect on a 10.88 unported eaton powered cobra we had. Recovery now is wayy better, 40-50 deg drop in temps i had a weak pump to start with too. after a highway drive the tank is not hot i couldnt touch the bmw tank on the other e55 after it was driven to the dyno the other day.
