not really a modification but a good thing for performance anyways. i was checking out one of the GM performance sites and noticed something in the engine bay of the time attack cobalt ss. heat wrapped intake piping and intercooler coolant reservoir (sp?). i dont know why i hadn't thought of this yet, but it is a great way to keep heat soak out of the intercooler coolant as well as the intake piping. probably just used header heat wrap stuff.

 

no one is interesed???

 

needs to go in 2.0 not 2.2 section

 

nice i could see it helping...ill look into it experimenting with it when i get my interceptor so i can read IAT's

 

2.2 could do it also... not just for you 2.0 guys...

 

dont know what glue your sniffing but its in the 2.0

 

yeah that what i thought..

wow your car looks awesome in that sig

 

Must be the special kind that or a mod moved it.

 

thanks man, its the pic that helped me win the turbo wax contest a couple months back, just wait ill i have my different wheels, then you will need to bust out the lotion

 

You sure that's heatwrap and not just chrome? I think it is chrome

 

a chrome intercooler coolant box, i think not. and for one if you look at the site its quite obvoius.

On my 2006 SS S/C, I used heat reflective tape to cover my fuel line all the way from where it connects with the fuel injector log as far down the firewall as I could reach. I thought about trying to cover underneath the FI/Log w/heat reflective tape as well, but there is not a lot of clearance w/o taking the FI/log loose. Even then there might still be clearance issues.

These are little things, but the more heat you can keep out of the air/fuel going into the engine the better performance you will realize, especially since higher boost creates more heat.

Doc

 

Umm...why? You don't have an intercooler and the exhaust manifold is on the backside of your engine. It would do squat to help you.

FYI in that pic it's the coolant tank, not intercooler tank.

 

correct me if im wrong but i thought the tank was for both cooling the motor and the intercooler, i cant look right now because my car is in the shop

 

dude it was posted in the 2.0 section because this is the 2.0 motor

 

I have my intake heat wrapped, and my car is faster than the other stage 3 cobalt. I used thermal header wrap and zipties. Just heat wrap it and put a re-usable cone filter in teh airbox.

 

it would look sexier in his old sig......

not a bad idea. at all.. wow... :P

 

Notice they heat wrapped the overflow resivoir for the coolant too? That must prevent the hot liquid from heating up the intake seeing they are so close to each other.

 

How many of you guys do track days? That this would be beneficial to you in anyway??

 

Alot of people do track days and every little edge you can get over your competition is beneficial.

 

I will correct you because the radiator and heat exchanger both use different overflow tanks and lines all together. Lol. I think they just painted the tank a chrome look to match the intake.

 

Yeah a lot of people do track days.... https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/autocross-road-racing-53/

 

Where could you get something like that at. Like Hardware Store or and Auto Parts Store or both ?

 

it is NOT painted chrome, i have seen detailed pics of this engine bay
