Cooling the Beast
Car is a stock right hand drive with the only other mod being an ELM.
There have been a few front tank mods on this forum before this one being a little bit different.
Currently the tank is out and further mods being carried out to improve flow rates so its very much still in the fabrication and testing stage.

Cooling mods complete, so now have front tank fitted with homemade KC with data logs taken stock, with Eurocharged HE and new pump, and then system split and tank fitted.
All info on this link.

Are you data logging? What sort of IATs are you seeing with your setup? What are the ambient temps? We are closing in on winter time here and I'm not too concerned with temps now haha, but will start doing more cooling stuff once Spring rolls around next year.
Looks promising, nice work!

Ginger, great stuff! I didn't click the link yet but will read through it. I am using an Android with the TORQUE app as well and Kiwi bluetooth, works wonderfully!
The recovery is key with these cars. Thanks for the contribution..

So what were your max. IATs with the new Setup? Is it the red line in the attachment of your post from today in the UK Forums?
Strange, my car reached 60°C after the second pull from 100kph to 240+ kph. Completely Stock (my guess at least)

What was your ambient temp to generate 60c?

Forgot to mention you really need a major cooling upgrade before using the FSP and continuous monitoring of IAT's, you have no protection i.e. your supercharger cannot disengage.

As an update to this thread have now fitted a Eurocharged pulley and map, my thread across the pond has all the data logging graphs showing improvements from a stock set up to the pulley upgrade.
http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/amg-p...g-upgrade.html
The final graphs showing the extra temperature gains on a WOT run after the upgrade.
For those with RHD and interested this is the thread from Olly at PCS the designer and installer of the system.

sorry guys, thought you could see them on the other forum, will start posting up data logging graphs
This is stock after repeated WOT, blue throttle position, red IAT.
IC pump not very good leading to supercharger clutch disengage.

This is an overlay of the difference between the 1st stage upgrade and the addition of a split and tank.
series 1 and 2 split and tank.
series 3 and 4 1st stage upgrade.
Both graphs taken from first WOT as there are to many variables to try to compare both

This graph is taken after a pulley and map upgrade, and after an 11 second rolling WOT, the peak temperatures have returned to the levels of the 1st stage upgrade but the speed and fall of temp recovery is much greater with the split and tank fitted.
