Anyone running the CSF intercooler on their W213? On their website it says applicable for W213s however the buy link takes you to ECS and they say it won't fit. LOL.
I know there are a few W205 C63 guys run these without issues, I imagine it should fit E63s too...

Their contact people are helpless and their distributors don't know **** either. LOL.

 

C63 and E63 have very different "packaging" for their radiator/IC setups so I'd be wary that it probably won't fit.

 

That's what I'm afraid off, however it should be a direct swap of the OEM heat exchanger. I see a lot of room between the front bumper and bumper guarding.. If only the manufacturer of said part could verify fitment of their own parts....

 

Man that would certainly be too much to ask I guess

 

CPC is the answer you seek... most of the aftermarket CPC modules keep the intercooler pumps at 100% duty cycle vs shutting them off based on a thermal table.

 

Ask them for the dimensions (LxWxD) and then measure yours/available space to compare. If space checks out, just need to make sure the connections will match and you should be fine. Option 2: Buy and try to install it--then ebay it if it doesn't fit.

 

I've had the CPC along with a stage 2 tune for a while now... an upgraded HTX will still be offer better IATs and resistance to heat soak over OEM..

 

PTG V2 Motorsport Cooling System -- Little more pricey than the CSF (which is really just a drop-in option), but some people have been critical of the cooling capability of CSF systems. The PTG meanwhile comes with 2 PWR cores to separate the intercooler/heat exchanger and transmission cooler. PWR cores are top notch.

 

I already have PTG turbos and Meth injection so might as well at this point. Lol.
