CA Heat Exchanger Kits are now shipping and listed on our website . Here is some info on the kits . The product is listed on our website under PERFORMANCE, sub category FORCED INDUCTION.

CA Front Mount Heat Exchanger features tig welded all aluminum heat exchanger . This light weight heat exchanger offers greater fluid holding capacity , and mounts in the front fascia for greater cooling efficiency. The stock heat exchanger mounts between the ac condenser and the stock radiator . This cuts down the stock cooling efficiency greatly and produces greater heat soak of booth the heat exchanger and the stock radiator. The stock ac condenser , heat exchanger and radiator are installed so close to each other there is not much air dispersion between them . By mounting the heat exchanger up front , greater cooling of the supercharger is attained thus yielding lower temperatures , greater performance , and elongated life of the supercharger itself.
**This kit features large -12 stainless steel braided hose , all aluminum fittings , steel mounting brackets and all clamps and bolts needed for installation. This is a complete kit that can be bolted on with or without removing the stock heat exchanger. Bumper removal is not necessary at all for the installation , we did it for illustration purposes only.

We will have additional pics and temp changes later on tonite, so check the website .

That's the heat...now to whore myself to get the required currency.

do u have a pic of how it looks with the front bumper on.

What were your guys' IAT2 loses?

we will have the iat comparisons in about 2 hours we are going out to beat up on the car and see the logged differences now . The bumper pic i just put up on the site and in the post. The kit will come without the cobalt-addiction logo on the heat exchanger unless customers request it !!! Hope you all like :cssNET:

You guys are coming out with some good stuff, this and the snow kit are on my list.

Ok well so far IAT2 seems to be running on avergae about 15 degrees cooler with just the short 1/4 Mile distances we are beating on the car within. IAt2 before was reading about 162 degrees .....now reads about 147 degress. We do however notice that after the run at full boost the IAT2 temp drops much quicker and goes significantly lower as your driving . The recovery rate of cooler air is faster as you drive due to the front mount heat exchanger , so the temps of iat2 drop very fast compared to before. I will try and get some screenshots up of it. Just gotta give me soem time for that .
All and all 2 thumbs up , looks awesome and seems to perform as expected . Also the whole system takes about 1 quart more liquid which helps with the cooling also ...No downsides here so far ....everything is for the better.

sounds good!

will someone be doing a how to anytime soon???? also, is the stock h/e just removed? If so, how come both h/e's can't be used simultaneously?

the stock radiator is used. you can use both at the same time. YOU dont even have to take out the front bumper!

You can use both heat exchangers if you would like . We took out the stock heat exchanger to give the stock radiator more room to breathe. Now as you can see from one of the pics there is about a 2" air gap between the ac condenser and the stock radiator. Because of the location of the stock heat exchanger it doesnt allow for much cooling especially when you install the front mount in front of it. There is more benfits to removign the stock exchanger than keeping it .
Also there are some quick screenshots listed on our website for people to see the differences. These were just real quick 1/4mile runs back to back with the car at temperature. Just alittle proof to back it up some for people who dont believe . It was hard to pick a section that showed all the positives of it , but i figured the max boost in second comparisons should be good enough for now. Let me know what you all think .

How long is the limited time price for and whats the reg. price?

Limited price will probably be until we sell the first 10 kits we have in stock . Then the price will probably jump up by about $30.00 . I tall depends on how fast they moveand how many we sell . If they start moving real good we will keep the price steady for awhile longer :twothumbs . We will have a how to up on the site within the next week. It is actually pretty easy to do, you would be surprised.

what would make the biggest difference, this intercooler or the gm exhaust manifold?

oh and what about your nitrous spray bar kit on it!? damn i wish i had infinite funds!

hey where is cobalt-addiction the store at?? because i sure as hell wouldnt mind driving up there and having you all install most of the stuff that i want and just make one trip and let you all do it....???

we are located at 261 unit A Suburban Ave in Deer Park Long Island NY

Map questing gives pretty good directions , you are a hike though from Virginia. we are about an hour or so into NY.

Hmm interesting exact same HE I have on my car just made my brackets a little bit differently.

we did a photo how to today.... should be shipped with kit.... wasn't too bad and damn my car looks and runs awesome.

nitrous spray bar kit coming soon.... I don't really see much use for it my temps are way down now,,, just get the meth kit and you are good to go... and its cheaper too. stock h/c comes out easy I think it was a total of 6 10mm bolts and 2 hose clamps... I have mine for sale now if anyone is interested... and anyone wants to check out my datalog run its posted up on cobalt addictions website.

dammit i want i want i want, have to wait for christmas:cussing: lol

wow, nice!

you can def feel a difference... I drove to work this morning and the car pulls abit harder now... also upped my meth mix to 50/50 and holy shit car is a beast.

1) can you buy it w/ out the cobalt addiction painted on the front (my car is a redline)
2) will it fit a redline
3) thnx :cool:

yes and yes... you can have whatever you want stencilled on it, they have a machine that cuts stencils... we just put it on mine because A. it looks good, B. I"m testing it for them... my h/c fluid stays man cold now.... especially when moving at speed.

I have a question about the HE. After looking at the logs it appears that the change in T is really only a couple degrees. Initial IAT1 was 90 and IAT2 162. After HE, IAT was 81 and IAT2 was 149. This is a 72 degree difference before and a 68 degree difference after. Looks like really only a 4 degree difference. Comments?

car was sitting idling for a long time while I was bleeding the system so it was pretty hot to begin with.... I"m gonna do more runs friday with it with driving it around to cool it off... but just by touching it it def feels colder than the stock setup... car pulls hard now too at all rpms. also waiting on my fan to come in to see if that helps while idling...

Bump

The biggest temp difference with this heat exchanger is while the car is moving and cool air is forced through it . AT max boost it really did alittle because of the amount of heat the supercharger generates ....buts its the cool down that is much quicker and a greater difference. I could only show 1 spot on the runs so i chose max boost. Throughout though the temp differences were on average about 15 degrees cooler for the whole run once everything was averaged in and IAT1 and IAT2 were compared. ALso engine temps seem to be dropped alittle due to the room to breathe now that the stock heat exchanger isnt blocking it .
These will work on The Redline , they only come with our logo on it if requested . We can also do a Redline logo or something if someone chooses.

with a 15 degrees difference in IAT shouldnt that be over 20hp gain going off of ever 10degrees is 10% more hp? does it feel like an extra 20hp or no?

Umm I don't know if its 20 hp... won't be sure til I get rid of my shitty stock exhaust... but it def feels stronger... 5th gear pulls even better at low rpms than it did before... I also just upped my meth injection from a 30/70 meth /water mix to about a 50/50 and noticed a nice increase... hopefully get time friday night to finish tuning and such and get to the dyno... I want some numbers.. as do all of you.

How hard is the Install?

not hard at all. you don't have to remove the bumper either...we just did it for install pic purposes... the biggest pain was bleeding the system... everything else was easy... only need to drill 2 holes in the bumper support... as long as you pop the clips on the top of the bumper you can reach right in to tighten it...

Nice Nice, I think I might order that 2night, along with the Stage 2

hey they got both.... I'm pretty sure I saw a stg II kit when I was there yesterday. they also got a bunch of CAI's in stock

is it possible to see results of the mod with the stock HE in place as well? as in can you give us figures

umm... already took that out I'm sure you'll see a little better results, but I wanted to unclutter the engine compartment a little and free up some radiator space.I unfortunatley be in baltimore for the next 2 days so If I get home early enough on fri I could give it a try.

You sure do spend a lot of money installing all these upgrades man. I am not sure what my first will be or when it will be. I am thinking it will be Stage 2 and a CAI. I guess I need to decide if I want to void my warranty by installing any other upgrades...eek.

I actually haven't spent that much... just buy what actually works... and I do all my own labor so it saves... maybe 1500-1700 spent but I"ve sold off parts to offset... I also keep all of the main stock parts just in case I have to bring it in to the dealership.

Ha that's still quite a bit of change. Of course doing everything yourself does save yourself a ton of money in the process. Looks like I've got some friends to make ;)

Hey no prob here... I do most of the poeples installs on LI I don't charge much just dinner or lunch or both depending on how long it takes

Lunch and dinner? Hell I'd buy you a case of beer if you asked. :lol: Do you work at CA or are you just "in" there?

p.s. I added you to my AIM list if you still use it at all.

yeah I'm still on aim... I just happen to be at c/a alot and I had a garage up until 2 weeks ago that I worked out of... I help with product testing so I can be up here answering questions for you guys since they are busy and don't have much time to go on the forums.

wow this kit looks awesome definately on my list of crap to buy and since CA is like 25 mins away definately getting them to help witht he install. you guys are great.

Bump

its a little bit of both i guess, a heat exhanger and an intercooler. It looks like it would yield some good hp gains at higher speeds

all I know is my intake temps are staying pretty even once you drive around a bit its more of a difference... plus the fluid is always cool to the touch now... just waiting to get my damn fans in so I can install them...

So This Would Be A Perfect Set Up Then If I Take It
Stage Ii
Ngk Plugs Gapped At 0.40
Gmpp Performance Exhaust
He Exchanger Kit
Cai?

And Still Be A Sleeper? Hmmmm Need Fundage Bad

2 Questions for you:


1) I noticed you have the GM stage 2 belt on there as well as the ZZP tensioner.
What hole did you adjusted you ZZP tensioner to?

According to ZZP:

hole#1 stock - 3" pulley
hole#2 3.0" - 2.6" pulley
hole#3 2.5" pulley

I put mine on hole #3. I have the stock belt on there and notice no slip.

2) the snow performance W/I kit: Will that setup still work when it gets -40 degrees over here in Ontario:ca: . Worried about the pump freezing or the Injector getting blocked.

Thanks.

God I hate winter:cussing: ...we only have a few months left of nice days...

ok I use the adj tensioner in pos #2 cause it is too tight to get the belt on in #3.. I would think it would be fine they put the methanol in the washer fluid to keep it from freezing so I"m runnin a 50/50 and don't expect any problems... (washer fuid is 30% meth 70% water)

ok I use the adj tensioner in pos #2

mine is also in pos#2 with the pulleyboys tensioner
the bearings were a tad tight when mounting and tighteninig.
so we removed the bearing and shaved a few thousands off the black bracket.
this solved the problem with the bracket and bearings catching when tightened..... the movement up and down has to be there to avoid belt slip.

just pitching in my comments.... good luck

i think im gonna get the meth kit and run a 20/80 (being i dont need too much methanol with a 3'' pulley), here on LI it shouldnt get too cold as to where the washer fluid freezes, although i have had that a few times, so i figure if i use less methanol than the washer fluid mix (20/80mix instead of 30/70) then i should be in the clear even at the coldest where the washer fluid freezes on me (rarely happens, needs to be below zero to happen). Im thinking it also helps that the reservoir for the meth is larger than the one for the washer fluid, making it harder to freeze up being its a larger amount of liquid. You actually have the kit so you know better than I do. What do you think about this

well the res that comes standard with the kit is actually alot smaller than our washer fluid res wich is why I used the washer one... (2quarts - 1.XX gallons) at least get the -20 deg washer fluid... its 30/70

yea sounds good, wasnt sure of the bottle size that came with the kit so it looks like ill be using the washer fluid resivoir (prob spelled wrong) for the mix. Just need some low temp washer fluid and a good 30/70 mix and i should be straight.

well if you want... go halfs with me on a 5 gal container of methanol... and I"ll make up some mixes... get about 5 gallons of mix each./.. s.k. speed sells it for 44.95 for a 5gal container.... I have one... but its not gonna last long... hehehe

Just placed my order!

good shit.... works damn good man

been almost 2 months....got any numbers?

I blew up my axles... I'm going to dyno next saturday after noon... cars been down for a few weeks.... I'm getting it back together tonight
