Ok, so I ordered another ZZP triple gauge pod and I got the correct Interceptor today. If I have time this weekend and I get all of my stuff together maybe I'll wire up the Interceptor. I want to know how much HP it has stock.

 

first time i looked at this thread and i have to say i love the supercharger it looks amazing in red.

 

Thanks for your comment. I certainly appreciate it.

 

for the heat exchange circuit royal purple makes a coolant that you can use.

 

How much coolant will be needed? I was talking to Gene over the phone, and he pointed out that I probably won't lose that much from the engine, if I'm careful.

How much will the heat exchanger circuit hold?

I'm looking at something like this as a reservoir: http://shop.oreillyauto.com/ProductD...egoryCode=3052

 

the engine wont lose a lot.... the HE system will require more than the engine will. (i dont know volumes...i filled everything back up with glasses of water.... lol)

 

About how much did you use for the H/E circuit?

 

Yours is going to be smaller and the ZZP I'm going to use says 1.8 liters so the Cobra can't be that much.

 

So a gallon should be plenty?

 

I would honestly get 2 gallons for the job, or if the place is close get 1 and then go back if you need another.

 

I can walk to the store in 5 minutes, and I have my parents cars, Maybe I'll grab one for each - the engine and the HE circuit, and go from there. Water Wetter in both? I'm gonna run 50/50 in the H/E cause it gets nipply here in the winter.

 

Just added the zzp h/e inline with the stock h/e on my 2.4 and used a lil more than 3/4 of a gallon of coolant after bleeding the system of air. So, 1 gal should be enough, imo.

 

I'm not familiar with how to bleed the Heat Exchanger/circuit...is it easy?

 

I just filled the system through the reservoir as much as possible, ran car for 30 sec, shut off car, refilled reservoir, and repeated until coolant was continuously flowing through the reservoir. Did this 5 or 6 times , then kept a bottle of coolant in my car for the next day or two as it was obviously still bleeding air out cause I had to refill the reservoir a few more times. I'm sure i could have used the bleeder screw on the top of the stock h/e to speed up the process, but oh well. Oh and the zzp h/e was NOT a direct fit on my 2.4without grinding some material to get the tabs to reach the bolts behind the crash bar.

 

How are you guys wiring the H/E Pump? Directly to a switched Fuse?

 

M6 x 1 x 20, 17.5 THD, 14.2 O.D.

did some searching and found this on ecotec forums

 

Thanks for this information. I was wondering how to handle the bleeding part. I am going to use the ZZP H/E and another stock coolant reservoir, so I'll probably make out a little better since it can hold more.

One of the how to's said to tie it in with your fuel pump fuse. If fuel pump is on and running you need the IC pump.

LOL... that is not correct at all. It is so far off that I really had to laugh. I'll see what I can do for you... but two things here.

The bolts are the hex socket type ... and they are much, much longer as they go through the SC, into the intake and then pretty far down into the intake manifold.

I would say they are at least 50 MM.

 

power wire on the fuel pump fuse, ground wire somewhere on the frame

 

Thank you, sirs.

 

Supercharger to intake manifold bolts are hex socket type, M8 x 1.25 x 50.

 

Beautiful now I can get them. One question. If i get these from a bolt company with they be able to stand high temps

 

I thought that was oddly small but thats all I could find.

ahhh actually my bad...I mixed up the last 2 numbers of the p/n lol...anyway. thanks for the real size.

 

Doesn't have to be a hex bolt...I used

M8x1.25mm double sided stud x2
M8x1.25mm 55mm flared bolt x2
M8x1.25mm flared nuts x2

Works fine, and are easily found at Autozone or other parts stores

 

I fail to not be able to understand the link between a bolt and temperature? Bolts are rated by hardness (strength) and temperature is not one of those variables.

Np man.

I understand. I'm pretty much a factory type guy and I wanted them to be the same as factory.

 

btw if anyone has a Lowes where they live...go there for bolts. much larger selection than AutoZone/Checkers/Pep Boys and Home Depot
