Sl55 MODS

[tankman]

Apart from exhaust what mods can be done to the 55 engine wise? Thanks in advance.

Ask Acid, he turned a 55 into the starship enterprise not so long ago if my memory serves..

Ouch, ouch and ouch

How much extra bhp and torque did that give you, I have been thinking about a limited slip diff though.

How much bigger are the big brakes than a standard SL55.

 

[tankman]

Why does heat effect the bhp, yes I know the cooler the air intake the Better but for all those mods that is a very expensvive list.

OR am gang up with savman and Acid

The intercooler on the 55K is a big limitation so when running higher boost the post charger intake temps soar. To compensate the ECU will pull anything upto 9 deg of timing and dump fuel in an attempt to cool the cylinder temps. On a hot day I can have 80bhp less than a cold day.

I will be running meth injection to combat this.

Is this why they fit this thing called the "killer chiller" and what sort of price is that little mod.
Or what is the meth injection, never heard of that one.

Does water injection work with superchargers ???

 

[ianplymouth]

Cheers Savman
Very informative, I think I will do a search for the meth/water injection and see what I can find.

My stock 55 is scary fast already, I guess for racing these mods are useful, but not really needed on the road ?

If you keep your car Stock then you don't really need them.
