if not please explain to me how its run.

furthermore, in the long run, it it worth having this thing? its meant to lower intake and cooling temps or just cooling temps?

thanks, css

 

Bump muthabeechessssss

 

bump, need hlp

 

dude give it more then an hour.

what the new h/e'er will do is lower the coolant temps of your blowers intercooler system, which will lower your IAT2's.. So you will have cooler fluid, and cooler air. This will have no effect on you ENGINE coolant temperature. As far as the plumbing, I have no idea, my setup is on a Sunfire, and plumbed differently.

 

thank ya

 

Bump

 

plumbing is correct. It bolts directly in front of your stock h/e. Is it the only thing you should have in the long run? IDK, it depends on how often you beat the **** out of your car. Not a lot: then you're good. Every so often: maybe get a dual pass end plate. Beat on it worse than your johnson: invest in a griffin and call it a day.

 

I have this one and I ran the hoses the same way as in the diagram. The tabs mount to the bottom of the crash bar(The bar in front of the radiators). the extra coolant in the "After" cooler system for your supercharger is a benefit not just in the long run but immediately. it will allow your IAT2's to recover much quicker by being in front of the radiator.

I'd also check your coolant pump to see if it's working and I would get option B and a dual pass endplate if you don't already have them

 

again, this just all depends on how much he abuses his ride. Even with an additional h/e, if you get on it too much or do multiple pulls, the s/c is still going to heat soak.

 

I do multiple pulls most of the time. 5-10 minutes of cruising and the temps are back to normal. he's just wondering if it will help prolong the life of his motor(or I assume that)

 

If you still need help give me a call on my cell phone. 586-337-5009

 

thanks everyone, and yea i plan on maybe goin dual pass soon when i got stage 2 maybe.

i already beat the **** out of my car, multiple pulls usually when im in that spirited mood haha
