E55 cooling

So I have a new plm xl heat exchanger and Bosch 010 pump that I will be getting installed once my long tube headers and belt wrap kit arrive. Is this going to be sufficient cooling or do I need a split cooling kit and ice box . Any help greatly appreciated thankyou !

I would say all depends on future mods, if u plan on a smaller pulley id say get either an underhood tank or trunk tank which will keep temps down much better.

That should be more than adequate unless you are planning on a few back to back WOT pulls which is not usually possible in this country.

I have a 83mm pulley on the car already as for future mods I’m not sure where to go next...

With a clutched pulley at least, it is not a problem. You aren't in boost ever on the Auckland motorway in traffic and when it opens up the intercooler will be doing its job fine.
