e63s Heat exchanger options
Hey, so currently i’m running a DTK heat x and i was wondering, if any of you guys have used any other brands and know specifics of how much coolant it holds, or any other specs that would be useful.
AMR , CSF , Wagner , renntech , PTG and Ams Also make heat exchangers. From your guys expert opinion, what would you recommend.I love cooling and i wouldn’t mind swapping out for something better. PLEASE don’t say just stick with what i have, give me suggestions!!!! Thank you very much

also you said "I love cooling" - have you considered:
- a meth system,
- oil solenoid mod,
- different oil viscosities,
- main fan on more frequently,
- removing decorative plastic shields from engine bay
- ethanol tune

Ams is my tuner i work in conjunction with them for all my cars they tuned the car 8 years ago with stage 1+ and its been working perfectly ever since new but yes i have the oil solenoid mod, and i am going to remove the plastic shield from the engine bay also could you explain more about the main fan on more frequently. And all these threads are very useful thank you very much. I have aux radiators coming from bnzhaus who did the canon ball record with the e63 and ams recommended me them and their unit is a little more beefier but i want to change out my current heat x to a better one if anything works any better i can get ams main heat x from zefer performance another good acquaintance of mine and this part is discontinued and alex from ams could not really give me any specifics other then the core they used. So if you have any recommendations for me better then the dtk one that holds 4.7l let me know please

I don't know much else.
Jake dyno tuned my 63 for both 93 and 100
octanes tunes. Haven't had any issues once they worked through their buggy first iteration 93 tune. They're local to me which has been great - when they were in WC now they're in Batavia
hopefully you'll gain more info from others here, not many have done much with cooling on this level.
the radiator fan is programmed to come on quicker and stay at higher speeds longer on my tunes, you can ask Jake/AMS about this; in the mid east "gulf mode" is simply them running this fan faster and more frequently for better cooling

Why a 100 octane tune instead of like a e15 or something? I'm probably going to go with my main 93 map, and then have a e30-e40 map, when i want to **** with some people. They will also do my trans tune for me as it will be for development, and will not charge me for it which is pretty neat.

and I hate mixing, and Sunoco 100 is readily available to me and I don't have to worry about fuel pumps or ethanol issues. And when I wanna do e40, I pop that ecu in, and when I wanna go 93 ams tune, etc etc
i have the edok tcu tune, love it. When did ams start getting back into the amg m157 game again? Last I talked with them they phased that out
