summer is here boys and girls time to start thinking about cooling mods and bigger pullies!


so i decided to get the smaller one after i seen few have actually scraped theres going in & out driveways....


let me tell you it is in no way "small" it is perfect its shorter than the black flap


enough talking heres the pics...

oh and the mounting tabs... its almost like it was made for the cobalt total install less than one hour, no bumper removal...
what more could you ask for?

 

Looks good.
Price?

 

Looks good. I think that's the one I want to get when the time comes, easy install? How does it perform?

 

$188.29 w ca. tax & shipping ebay link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Alumi...3911.m14.l1318

dont know yet literally just got done havent even put the oil back in yet (changed oil also) couldent wait to post install was a joke... (layed on back and fucked around for a hour done... PS. im a mech so i laugh at these kinds of install... i think for my next actual challenge im going to put some slugs in while the motor is still in the car... that will be "fun")










oh just for some added info i routed the flow to use stock intercooler first then cx racing... because while using the ac the condensor is in front of the intercooler forcing hot air by the heat exchanger (good engineering GM ) so it will get heated by that and then cooled again by the cx right before it flows to the manifold...

 

Excellent.

 

Sick man! I didnt even know they made a "small" one!!! I am deff intrested if I can ever make up my mind about selling the car or keeping it.

 

looks damn good. no custom brakets just used the mounting locations from the heat ex. nice.

 

Thats the same unit as the C/A one, right? Just with different tabs on it.

 

yep it was awesome i went to test fit it and saw it went in perfect with minor trimming of the tabs... then a couple nice size self tappers and some washers with lock nuts.................... done

 

clean install! likin it!

 

slight differences


1. the tabs
2. theres looks like a 2 core dual row (mine is single core dual row)
3. the fitting's
4. size "looks" the same but ??? if it is...



heres the two side by side..........









after looking at them i belive the c a one is a single core as well that one end tank threw me off but looking at the other side you can tell its single
















ccp

 

what about the kit from ottperformance. It also uses the small cxracing heat exchanger, is it any good?

To the op: I am assuming you bought your own hoses, clamps, etc. Or did it come with them?

 

Your install is one of the CLEANEST I have seen. Looks factory, and thats a good thing.

Nice Job!

 

I agree I hope the mechanic that is doing mine on monday does as good of a job. Should I tell them to route it the way he did, or just follow the original ottperformance.com instructions?

 

So how do the lines run again? Also what size are those screws and where did you get them?

 

I like how the title says Clean Install! It really looks great.

I wouldn't refer to it as small. It is still huge. It is also a dual pass unit. It is 100x better then the large CX Racing unit people have been Frankensteining to their cars.

 

Really clean install... It looks great!

What else did you buy for the install besides the H/E? As far as hoses and clamps and screws and what not.

 

I wonder if you could add this and have another h/e cause this one is pretty small. Hmmmm................

 

its not very small the unit held more liquid itself than the whole stock system...


i think it is a little overkill but hey thats awesome

yea i needed 4 3/4 in hose clamps and 4ft of 3/4 in heater hose 7-8 bucks at auto zone

thank you i try...



well i dont know how they reccomend but, i am having no issues with flow or cooling the way i ran my setup

the screws i had already and if you read my op you can understand how i ran em

up date on performance...


i live in the desert the last week it has been between 100-105 ambient

i run meth, dual pass, and he

problems solved i cant even get the iat2 to break 140... after 1-4 freeway pull...

 

States that require front license plates FTL. That looks so sweet dude. How did you bleed the air?

 

how many inches thick is that? I curently have my license plate hanging from the core support (**** Ohio) and i dont know if any airflow will be getting to the h/e. i dont know where else to put the damn plate either

did you have to fab your own brackets / hangers or did it come with them?

 

stuck a hose in the fill tube and opened both bleeder factory and aftermarket and let her blow... then tightend the bleeders while water was still gushing out of them... then added water wetter... no coolant till winter time... end result no air what so ever in the system the level is all the way to the cap no air at all...

 

Did you run the supply to the top or bottom port on the HE?

 

Looks hot, clean install.
Good to see the IAT's dropped.
This is something I want to do one of these days..

bottom thats the way the flow was before modification to flow
