I know there's about 400 of these threads out there but I am not about to read through every single one of them and the how to's don't help me either. I have the OTTPerformance heat exchanger and just need the instructions for the install...It used to be on their site but is no longer. Can someone help me out? I have the diagram for the routing of the hoses but just need the dang directions. Please, I wanna get this done lol

EDIT- Pictures of the H/E installed on page 2.

 

Ott would probly have them... have you called or emailed them?

i mean i know they are not on the site, but im sure they can email them to u.

 

Getting ready to PM lsjwannabe right now. lol

 

lol good man!

 

Of course.....I can't just post something up without asking them as well....PM was sent btw.


All I really need is just pics or something of where the brackets get mounted to cause I'm a little confused. I apparently don't have to take my front bumper off but uhmm....

 

lol.. from what i know you dont have to either... i almost got the kit but, havent had the time or money yet....

You might still have to drill holes... im not sure.

 

Yea, he responded, he's gonna see if he can find the directions.....I am pretty sure I do have to drill holes but I am looking around and I placed the heat exchanger up to get an idea but I'm still a little confused....haha

I can install the CAI, pull the supercharger off and paint it, pull the tb off w/o a problem, change injectors....But I cannot figure out where to drill some holes....lmao

So sad

 

lol... some people just need, well... direction... lol

pun intended.. but im the same way... show me how to do it step by step and i can do it.. and probly do it again without such directions....

but that first time is a bitch.. lol..

 

<-------------------------- Case in point.

 

i have the pics there uploading to my laptop now

 

how does the kit look in general? Clamps and everything nice and sturdy?

 

I thought you had the CXR h/e???

 

 

It's a very very nice heat exchanger....welds are perfect. Everything is just extremely well crafted.

Thank you lsj.....

That's what I needed.

It is the CX...But OTTPerformance sells a complete kit. hoses, clamps, brackets and bolts..

 

Glad i could help

 

I am too. I put the brackets on the heat exchanger and held it up in place and a light bulb went off as to where the brackets were to be mounted to my car....lol....I felt stupid after that...


But, thanks again lsj. plus a lot of non-existent rep points.

 

no problem enjoy the cooler iats

 

Definitely. Next comes dual pass.

 

Let me get somthing straight..this heat exchager goes in w. the stock one?..or do u take the stocker out?

 

you can do either or... if you can run both, id say do it... (its easier to do with the smaller cx racing one)

 

And heat exchangers need like antifreeze type deal or?..
Sorry for the noob questions..im learning..lol..dont know to much about this kinda stuff...and im trying to get into modding my car

 

its cool... well...

it would be the same stuff you put in your car as coolant.. whether it be water with some water wetter, or gms dexcool...

 

dexcool

 

So you do put like dex cool into it..then if thats the case how dose it help keep ur car cooler its doing the same thing as ur stocker?..or is it the fact that theres two of them in there at the same time?

 

the second one!... also its because you have more coolant to hold... and also having it closer to the front of the car, i think, gives it a little better cooling action, along with its material and design...
