oh okay..lol got it now..

 

Haha no prob.

 

lolol.

Update...all I have to do is just reroute the hoses and put some more dexcool in the system and then make sure all the air bubbles are out....Was a pain in the **** cause it was only me for about the first 30 minutes then my g/f showed up so she helped me. Was no fun trying to make sure the H/E was centered and trying to mark the holes to drill all by myself.

Lemme make sure I got this right. after I hook up all the hoses, turn on the car? and add coolant as needed? Or add coolant, then turn on the car?

 

Why does everyone insist in running the plumbing ^^ this ^^ way..?

The GM instructions for the dual pass end plate show the coolant running hot from the end plate straight through the pump (it can handle the temps) and then through the heat exchanger(s) to the end plate again...

Here is how I have mine...


Discuss..?

 

Well, I believe the lines being run in the post above yours is for those w/o a dual pass. Such as myself. Maybe it differs if you have a dual pass or not. I dunno.

And with that first thing, the only changes should be the line coming out of the stock heat exchanger into the second heat exchanger. And then from there going to the pump, correct? That is the only difference that I see.

Oh, by the way, I am finished. All I have to do is just add in my coolant. But, how exactly do I do it? Add in coolant until it comes up to the line in the feeder neck, then turn the car on so it can work out any air bubbles and then fill up as necessary? That is the correct way, right?

 

Yes, fill up as much coolant as you can. Turn on car. Fill some more. Drive a bit. Fill some more. Don't let it run dry. Fill some more. Check again. Repeat. Fill some more. Repeat. It takes a decent amount of time before you work out all the air.

The two drawings differ in what temp the coolant passes through the pump at. GM shows it passing as hot directly from the end plate, where as some people like to put it directly through the H/E before pumping it back through the plate... Discuss..?

 

actually fill the heat exchanger, then bleed and fill regularly from the feeder neck...

 

This heat exchanger doesn't have a place to fill it up at. It has a drain and that's it. Which is why I was wanting clarification.....

thanks guys.....




Well, does it change the IAT2's any by running the lines differently??

Well, everything finally complete....Here are some pic-a-tures for everybody.





It looks really good. Would be better if my car didn't look like I drove it through a swamp....haha

 

That looks awesome man...

good work on everything!

make sure u get all those bubbles out!

 

Yea, I ran it for about 15 minutes or so and I wasn't getting anymore bubbles.....But what I am going to do is let it cool down and do the same thing again....Prolly a couple times to be on the safe side.


And thanks.
