I have the CA heat exchanger and wanted to know how to run the hoses. Where does the top of the HE and the bottom of the HE plug into. Any help will be great thanks

CJ BadBlackSS

depends...are you keeping the stock HE in use or not?

CadetLax13

keep the stock HE

you can config it however you want. either before the stocker or after the stocker

CadetLax13

I know that but does it matter high low on the stock HE? I want to make sure I get flow right.

the coolant should run through the CA h/e first because the rate of temperature change is proportional to difference in temperature (newtons law) so you want the hot air right out from manifold to first be in the very front mount...thsi would give you the fastes cooling ..thats how i did mine but i used a cobra h/e

Kaisoboy

Here you go. This schematic is for a Cobra but you can get the idea from it. Now this is with a stock end plate and in series with the stock H/E.



Hope this helps. I posted this as a sort of how to but it was never OK'd by the Mods.

CJ BadBlackSS

but you need to take into account that the stock HE is wedged between the radiator and condensor...might be better to run it through the stocker first since the temp drop won't be that good...depending on temps the stocker being 2nd in line might actually heat up the air again...

thanks guys

Hence why I did mine the way I did. It almost works as a dual pass system.

Out of the end plate into the stocker, out of the stocker (pass #1), into the Cobra, out of the cobra (Pass #2), into the pump, out of the pump, into the end plate.

cheers

On the CA HE does the top go to the pump or stock HE. Thats were im mixed up right now. Bc their HE ports are top and bottom.

Kaisoboy

It really does not matters but i would go out of stocker into top of CA H/E.

CJ BadBlackSS

hook the line that runs from the stocker to the pump into the top of the CA H/E. Hook the bottom of the CA H/E to the pump.

no sense in making the pump pump against more gravity.

Furious_Cobaltss

when you get that hooked up do you have to bleed the system or can you just leave it

CJ BadBlackSS

well you will lose fluid and have air in the CA H/E...so you should get it all together, then top off the fill, start the car...run for 30 seconds...top off the fill again...run car...top off again...run car...ect.

also check the levels every day until they stabilize since as you drive you will cause more air to work its way out.

Kaisoboy

yes, since I did mine I have been adding coolant every time I drive it and park it and let it cool down. it seems to be stabilizing though.

CadetLax13

thanks for all the help guys.

theres a hose under your car about a foot long. it bends on both ends. comes out of the coolant pump and into the stock H/E. take that off. take plug the CA H/E into the pump and stock H/E.
