ok so i just bought water wetter and im not sure how much to put in it says 4 capfulls to 1 quart but how many quarts does the ss supercharged have thanks for any help

 

i used the whole bottle

 

Same here.

 

meaning whole bottle, in the coolant, or you used the whole bottle for coolant and the coolant for the blower?

 

umm in the coolant only, isnt that the only one there is?

 

i thought that the coolant for the motor and intercooler were seperate

 

no you have the engine coolant sysytem and then the interooler coolant system.

 

do i just dump it in the overflow or what?

 

I put mine in the extra coolant tank for the dual pass setup.

 

wow now im confused where do i put it lol

wait guys so where so i put the watter wetter at in which tank?

 

well u have a surge tank in there for the engines coolant which is located next to the intake like above it, and then u got the itnercoolers coolant which can be filled from the little cap in front of the blower

 

ok i get that part so which do i put water wetter in or like half the bottle for both?

 

There are 50 million threads about water wetter. And in almost everyone of them I tell people not to mix over 5%.
Water wetter isn't a coolant... it doesn't lower coolant temps as a whole... it's a surfacant... it lowers the surface tension of the water / coolant to help stop locallized boiling.
So stop adding the whole bottle.

And yes, there are two different chemicals for each system, water wetter (or dei rad relief)for the engine coolant, and then dei chill charger for the supercharger coolant system. I don't think Redline Oil makes an SC coolant chemical.

BTW, the Cobalt SS/SC has a coolant capacity of 7.4 qts, so you should add about 25-30 caps of water wetter.

 

so how much do i use and where do i put it come one make it simple haha

i need this to be water wetter instructions in ******* language lol

 

Ok... add 25-30 cap fulls to the spot indicated in the picture.

 

thank you and i have a ? hat happens if you add it into the other one?

 

Nothing happens.
The intake (after the supercharger) isn't boling or near boiling, so water wetter is basically useless. If you want a chemical additive for the SC coolant system, look into DEI Chill Charger.


BTW, I did a paper about how Water Wetter works, and what the real benefits are... should I dig it up and post it up somewhere?

 

Yes.

 

Where?
I would post it in the General Cobalt section, but it's usually over run with crap and nonsense. It's not really "how-to" related. I could post it in one of the performance sections, but it's benificial to all three styles of engines.

Quick ideas?
I don't really wanna hi-jack this thread to bad.

 

Go ahead and talk to an op about putting it in the how to section. Thats the best place that I could think of.

 

I'm interested in seeing this too... Would it benefit a 2.2 in Las Vegas (~105-115 temps)?

 

charge chiller foams.

i know this from experience.

 

Yes it does!
I've found if you add it in cold weather it seems to not go so foamy...

Would it ever! I think you'd see a great improvement due to the hot ambient temps and the small cooling system our 4cyls have.

 

the bad thing is, that foam never goes away. i have run over 12 gallons through the aftercooler system. running straight distilled water.
ever seen foamy water? i'll show you a pic
