hi

I've a 2006 SS s/c
i'm trying to install the dual pass endplate with the option B with the extra tank but the part of the 2nd surge tank on the instructions i got isn't clear to me.

page 7

can anybody tell/show me more in detail maybe where the hose of the second tank should connect to..?

especially the part that is suppose to conect to the orifice

thanks in advance

 

If you look at the top of the OEM HE you will see a bleeder screw, that is where the brass fitting and the 1/4" line connect to (it is at the top of the HE closer to the passenger headlight). For the 3/4" hosing you have to remove the OEM filler neck and replace it with the "T" that CED sends you and it hooks up there. HTH.

Same PDF document, page 6, item 16. See that screw that is circled with a caption at the bottom of the screen. Look at that.

 

my problem is that i'm not using the OEM HE on the car but the CA HE

see picture on the link below

forced induction section the 6th picture you can see how it looks like

 

I have the same HE. The option B is meant to hook up to the OEM HE. The CA HE doesn't have the bleed valve like you need for option B, unless you want to drill and tap it for that fitting. Why not just leave both in there, that is what most do and it allows for better cooling.

 

what do you mean with leave both in there?

 

Are you running the stock HE in line with the CA one?

 

no only the CA HE

do you mean to use the OEM HE in line with the CA HE ?

 

Well, if you run the OEM HE in-line with the CA one you're cooling will be better (more fluid, etc). Most people will leave the OEM HE in-line with the CA or other brand. The only people I know of that have taken the OEM HE out of the system all together have used the more expensive fluid-dyne one.

My advice, leave the OEM HE in there and mount the CA HE in there as well (as shown on there website).

 

ok
I will do it like that
in my specific case I only have the CA HE right now because the stock one was stuck and once i had to buy a new one i bought the CA one but i will buy the OEM one to put it inline with the CA then

but thanks anyway for your advice
