Option a keeps that little neck in front of the supercharger, Option B removes the neck & replaces it with a reservoir that comes off a redline. The neck on option a doesn't allow the system to bleed the air out & the reservoir does!

 

im a bit new with this. got a pic of the lil neck ur talking about? and how hard will it be to add option b to my h.e and dual pass?

 

See the polished cap in front of the supercharger & the overflow line, That is the stock Reservoir or Neck!


In this pick notice the new reservoir & the neck is gone, the reservoir takes the place of the neck!



In this pic you can see I didn't use the redline reservoir, I made my own. In the picture you see the reservoir for Option B, it has a 1/4 in line & a 3/4 inch out line... plus the cap has a pressure release just like the redline bottle they recommend you buy!

 

oh so option b removes the front reservior and just puts a bigger one on the other side of the car? which ends up in more coolant to flow? and easier to stay cooler? so whateverline was on the stock reservior it gets transfered to the new tank? and then the other line that does out from the option b tank goes where?.. how how does it all go? from option b tank to extra h.e and then the other line to the other stock reservior or what?

 

Like this!





If you run a Front Mount H/E also... then you run the aftercooler line out ....too the front mount in.....Then out of the front mount too the center of the dual pass endplate like shown in diagram. This basicly puts your H/E inline, stock to utilize the fans to cool it down & then the front mount dual pass H/E to cooool it down even further & also increasing youramount of fluid...On top of all that you have a bigger reservoir that is constantly bleeding the air out of the system making the heat transfer even better.

 

umm okay i see thx

 

Yeah....that front cap you have now isn't really a "resevoir", think of it more as an inline filler. The option B setup replaces that with a true resevoir.

 

oh so basically its replacing the cap wit a reservior and connecting the hoses from the new reservior to the hose where the lil inline filler was?

 

Yes it does just follow the hose diagram!

 

okay good to know apreciate ur help. gonna look into doing this after i order another tank

 

so out of all the diff opinions people have. im thinking of doing the h.e, dual pass, and meth set up for cooling. that sounds good or what?

 

that's about as good as you can get

 

subscribed for future use.

 

okay sounds good. thx

 

I'm hoping to install the CX Racing H/E, Dual Passe endplate and the "Option B" additonal surge tank. For those with experience, here is the question I am wrestling with:

1) Keep the stock heat exchanger or remove it?
Keep: Easier to setup the air bleed system as there is a provision for it on the stock h/e.
Remove: Cleaner install. I can remove the stock h/e, then bolt the CX h/e in line with the other exchangers, not having to drill into my crash bar (as in the "how to"), and raising it for more clearance.

Thoughts? Experiences? =NOT(Opinions)

 

the air bleed line as described in the kit goes directly to the stock h/e

look up under the radiator support while you've got your hood open and you'll see a small cap/screw on the top about a third of the way in on the passenger side

put both in line. there's no real data from anyone that says either one is better than the other. plus its a lot easier and is still a clean install.

 

Do you have any link to show or prove this statement..?

 

good explanation

 

My next question is if I should be bleeding air out of the additional h/e or just the stock h/e. The reason being that it occured to me that the inlet hoses on the cx racing h/e are halfway down, meaning air could get trapped above them.

I'm going to try and replace the pressure cap with a non-pressure cap (as my option B tank has one already), then run a 1/4" hose (with orafice) from the overflow tube on the cx h/e to a "T" with the air bleed line from the stock h/e. In my opinion, this should bleed air from both.

That is, unless someone can convince me that in a pressurized system, air doesn't float to the top.....but I think it does.

 

No, you're right. I use the opt. B tank with my CX racing heat exchanger. It actively bleeds the air out just like the stock one.
