those AC lines bend really easy. just bend it out of the way and that's it

 

I understand that now. I ordered one and that's exactly what I have to do.

 

Your making it harder than it should be, bend the line out of the way a little bit and you would be all set. If you want to take all of that apart you can but I think the other way would be easier.

Not retarded, just didn't think about it. I get ya.

 

I think he said there is a hole in it now, so it needs to come out.

FWIW, it's pretty standard to move that line on any turbo swap. It is always close if not touching something.

 

When they installed it at the shop they pointed it out. We moved it, I guess over time it slipped under and yea where we are now. I ordered a new hose, it'll be an easy fix. No big deal.

I was just giving out information from my OWN experiences with the ZFR. This is a thread to inform the customers. It is a straight forward install yes, but I'm giving the little details that count. At least to me they make a big difference.

 

yup, thanks for the heads up.

 

Yeah, my chick was looking at me funny when I was "modifying" your a/c lines to clear the new charge pipe setup. She's wondering why I have the pry bar in there, then tells me that it won't bend that easy... i'm like babe, you don't understand how soft alumnium tubing is. It's designed to be reconfigureable for future turbo add-on work

Oh I agree, needs to come out, aka, putting her on a diet.

 

[QUOTE=Ryan@zzp;6713362]I wish ... It gets too damn hot here or else I would have done that!

 

Yup still in the 100s

 

My car will be back on the road tommorow. Having the chevy dealer put the zfr on (got hell of a deal for it) They called today and said they ordered all new gaskets and it will be done tommorow. The guy working on it said hes done multiple cobalt turbos and knew it was the ZFR when he saw it lol. Local news is calling for 6-10 inches of snow tonight. Hopefully they are wrong so i can get into it tommorow .

 

Snow in September? Holy cow! I haven't seen snow in 20 years.

 

October but yes :p

usually starts snowing around Halloween here

 

ZFR in snow!? AWWW no fun

 

Fack the snow ...how the hell you got the dealership to install your ZFR? What kind of voodoo you using??

 

the guy who does the maintenance at the dealership used to work at a performance shop like an hour from here. i took a shot in the dark asking them to install it and they called back saying no problem...so i got lucky

 

daaaaaaaam lucky SOB lol.

 

Just to clarify, don't think for one second that since the dealership is installing it he's going to get some kind of warranty. In this instance, the dealership is just playing the performance shop role. Not unheard of at all.

 

How hard is it to install anyways? Do you get to it from the top or bottom of the car?

 

If it's anything like the BNR, I would do it from the bottom with the rear trans mount removed.

 

oh i know there's no warranty. Wasn't expecting anything. The cars been through that dealership for pretty much everything. I can trust they will do quality work.

 

This is the way to do it. I don't think it will fit from the top.

 

did you use the stock couplers on your k&N and upper charge pipe??

 

Yessir all the same.

 

Just a FYI to the earlier posts about egt sensors, we have a built in pyrometer in our ore cat O2 so it would not be an egt sensor since those would be pre turbo for the best info about the engine but post turbo gives you info about the cat
