M2CS Charger Cooler Covers

chrisfortier · 12-07-2022, 10:59 AM

I am looking to get one of these, but they are out of stock (I am very late to the party).

Are there other shops to get these from? I did not find much more in a Google search.

TIA!

I just bought one from EAS. I wanted a black one with no logo.

chrisfortier · 12-07-2022, 12:28 PM

I saw those too and they look great, but I prefer the colored version. If nothing becomes available, I may consider it as a backup.

That guy makes a new version now in Carbon Fiber….looks sweet…but, it’s like $160

chrisfortier · 12-07-2022, 08:31 PM

It's a bit much, but better than the $900 carbon fiber engine cover (would grab at half the cost)!

chrisfortier · 12-08-2022, 12:05 PM

Yes - $160, but I could not resist and snagged the red CS version. The white is still available!

medphysdave · 12-08-2022, 12:14 PM

I do like the carbon option

Please be careful with the CF options. They look amazing but can be effected by heat. A fellow forum member sent me pics of his deformed cover due to heat.

chrisfortier · 12-08-2022, 02:58 PM

s55covers says they have tested these up to 120 degrees Celsius (248 degrees Fahrenheit) and have had no issues. The cooler itself only gets 60-65 degrees Celsius.

Perhaps the OP had an AliExpress special? How hot does an engine bay get under strenuous conditions?

JD_M2D2 · 12-08-2022, 03:07 PM

Apologies. I in no way, shape or form intended to rain on your parade. Truth be told, I wanted a carbon fiber charge cooler cover myself because (in my opinion) they look the best. But, I was discouraged from doing so due to an issue someone had. I'm sure the company will stand behind the product if any issues arise and the cover will be great. I hope you love it. Please post some pics when you install - I can't wait to see!

No worries - it's a valid concern.

As someone who tracks fairly often, I can't see how this would benefit anyone except maybe a bit of eye candy in the engine bay. The last thing I'd personally want is something to add another barrier of heat to my tmic...

Yeppers - totally cosmetic. Same as that $900 carbon fiber engine cover over the standard.

That that does not actually alter performance I'm all for.
