** Upgraded single pass inter cooler. (Not added to main list as they are custom order, require cores and can take up to 2 weeks, No one offers a readily available kit the Key feature is Reduction in restriction, similar to HE)
1. Killer Chiller (works best with 5 gallon plus tank) $750
2. Ice tank (Including splitting the cooling obviously) $275-$575
3. Headers $975+
4. Intercooler pump (superflo results 10* peak and starting temps) $360
5. Heat Exchangers (Reduction in restriction is the most important (10-12*)) $399
6. Intake Spacers 10-12mm (10*) $175 + Cerakote
7. Split cooling (7-10*) $125

There are some specific points that should be mentioned in this list, Like the fact that a HE+ KC end up fighting each other. but in general i would consider this list accurate.

List doesnt include methanol, because it greatly depends on nozzle location and size.

Headers reduce IAT's? As a byproduct of reduced EGT's?

I imagine its because it reduces the boost pressure the supercharger produces due to better airflow. Less air pressure = less charge air heat generated..EGT shouldn't really affect charge air, surely!

Yes, that's basically what I was referring to just in reverse I guess...lower back pressure would lead to lower EGT's...thanks

This is nothing new. Killer chiller uses the same concept with their "race" kit. It's just a solinoid in the refrigerant line that goes to cabin AC that closes in race mode so that all refrigerant is forced through the evaporator on the intercooler circuit.

Does anyone actually have real, well lit, and positioned photos of the full Killer chiller install on an E55? Where it actually pipes into the A/C system, etc?

You think road and track makes killer chiller? Is this your first day here?

He was asking for detailed installation pics not a link to the stupid article that you thought was a brand new thing to the world of cars just 5 minutes ago. The actual website to what he was referencing is here: https://killerchiller.com/ which every one on this forum except for you apparently has known about for years. What I assume hes actually looking for is detailed photos/locations of the AC line splices into the stock AC system since I myself have seen very few installation pictures of the splices into factory lines. Most of the photos available are simply the evaporator tucked up some where by the radiator.

Since I am on the the early KC adopters I have pics in a thread. Search my name for threads started. Should show up if not i have them else where.

**EDITED**
no thread here since that was during the great revolt of MBWorld and most moved to Planet Super Car. I will locate from there or my old pics.
Here is one pic showing the KC mounted below my Distronic puck.

In short best cooling is KC trunk tank and meth. Running a 195 stayed below 90*.

Are you not very bright or are you pretending? The Road and Track Link was his. I cited him and his comment.

This was my link.

It's a basically a killer chiller. Nothing to do with R&T

Maybe instead of being a smart *** try and respond like an adult and pay attention to what is being linked and said. A little tact goes along away, especially when we are all here conversing about the same thing.

Oh okay, my bad I did mistake your quote as what you were referencing. In actuality you thought that ****ty youtube video that shows nothing of the installation and a link to the interchiller website was exactly what BC928 was looking for when he asked this?

I think it's safe to assume yes since you replied to me saying I don't think that's what he's looking for with:

Man that was a good lookin ride. (I did go through your posts and thought I saw one that it had been wrecked? ) But if you do happen to have any pics of where you spliced into the high pressure and low pressure AC lines I would really appreciate it as well. Do you happen to know what size AC lines our cars have?

So I don’t have the pics handy it seems of my install and planet super car.com doesn’t load anymore. Google has a small cache of pics if you search the site and killer chiller how to. I may have the pics on an old phone i might have laying around so will check.

The great revolt was tons of censorship by the board admins towards some super helpful folks. So many of us for about a month or more moved to planet. The website for planet super car would be blocked to keep those from knowing where all had gone. It was on 2011 best I recall. If you find threads started around that time some might mention it. Hell even now PSC is prob block **************.com. Ahaha yep still blocked.

If you type (planet super car. com) spaces removed it will block it like the above with ****

Correct. Thanks. The thing that makes me veer to just a rear tank is screwing up the reliability of the A/C system. If I can ensure I can get XRP to make actual, well sealed teflon lines for the A/C customization (no - freaking hose clamps do not work for long for A/C lines - this is not a top gear africa special) - then I can veer back. But I would love to see a detailed install instead of ****ty pics in a dark warehouse of black tubing going... where?
