Help with zzp S3 heat exchanger hook up
hey everyone, i just got my zzp S3 heat exchanger hooked up a few days ago. and my buddy was looking at the hose connections and noticed the two hoses that go out from the heat exchanger aren't connected to the right spots, they are switched. the outlet hose from the heat exchanger that is supposed to be connected to the inlet on the water pump, is actually hooked into the outlet of the radiator, and the inlet from the heat exchanger that is supposed to be hooked into the outlet of the radiator, is instead hooked into the inlet of the pump. it still has a complete flow, but the flow through the heat exchanger is now opposite than what it says it should be. to help understand i have the original diagram they give you on zzperformance.
this is the diagram from zzp

as you can see the flow through the heat exchanger is reversed. instead of through the top inlet and out the bottem, its through the bottem and out the top. does it matter which way the coolant flows through or is the heat exchanger designed to flow in one direction?
