Thread: better intercooler

  1. #101
    there is a turbulence factor in the airflow at, i think, 2500-3500 rpms.. It gets rid of that, some people don't notice it I guess, so its not a big deal.. ive had mine relocated for so long I couldn't tell you how it feels

    So I found this today
    http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/topic...-capabilities/

    Seems the the 5v limit isn't with the sensor but it's with the ECU, that makes sense to me as I haven't heard of many people outside of us complaining about this, I guess mercedes implementation doesn't have much wiggle room. Think upsolute can change this? If they could then that would be awesome.
    Completely mad.

    Yes, you are correct... our MAF is used in a few others cars with no issues. If upsolute can change that sort of thing, that would be awesome.. but I, personally, have no experience with their abilities.

    intercoolers are only used on cars with forced induction ie: turbo or superchargers. The C36 is naturally aspirated so no. You should start with an intake, exhaust and tune. The M104 engines do take very well to turbos though. There used to be some twin turbo kits for that motor, but nobody makes them any more. You could always do what a few members have done here and have your own turbo application custom made. Then you would need an intercooler.


    Also got word back form upsolute, they said custom tune was no issue and price was the same. I would need to ship my ecu to their North Carolina office. I'm waiting to hear back if they can also account for the 5v maf limit. if so a clamp wont be needed.
