ok just to clear up a few things, hopefully lsjwannab can give us an idea...

do the H/E bolt up to the crash bar? if so holes have to be drilled right?

and which nipple is in and which is out?

I know the inlet and outlet is supposed to be on the right and the drain should be on the bottom left, so looking at it from this angle is the top nipple the inlet and the bottom the outlet?

also would it be better to remove the stock H/E and just have the ottp h/e or is it better to combine the old one with the new one ? I saw two diff diagrams, one with both the h/e working together and one with just the ottp H/E... what is the best way to to use?

Also what are the four smaller brackets on the H/E is for? because my H/E only came with two bolts and those bolts look like they are for the larger brackets welded to the top of the H/E.

 

yes, crash bar.

yes, two bolts for the larger welded on brackets.

yes, you have it oriented correctly

yes, top is inlet

yes, bottom is outlet

 

Everything ex said

I would suggest removing the stock unit personally.

The 4 tabs come on the core unit so don't worry about those.

 

so we have to drill holes on the crash bar... are those two brackets enough support to hold that thing at high speeds and possibly hitting pot holes and what not?

 

i'm going to keep the stock unit on. but i'll have the coolant run through it first

 

hey thanks for such a fast reply!! talk about customer service, by far the best vendor for cobalts!!

 

Yes they do the job quite well

 

When i installed mine i removed the stocker so i could space everything out...better cooling IMO

 

That's what I plan on doing as well.

 

ok I managed to get it up!! here are some pics.





thats a friend of mine helping me hold **** in place....

 

nice nice im about to buy mine really soon def put pics up of the final product with bumper on

 

Thanks for the pics man, helps me with my project as well lol.

 

yeah it got too dark to get pics in the end, but everything fit smooth, I had to drill two holes for the brackets, (on crash bar) but in the end the bumper went back on without a prob and fitted perfect! i will take pics tomorrow with the bumper on, (got some more pics to post as well)

 

Sweet

We should start making stickies in the vendor threads too

This has some good info in it

 

nice man, wasnt that hard right...mostly just drill 2 holes and ur done lol

 

how are your temps since install?

 

what I notice the most is that the temperatures drop a lot faster when the fan kicks in, temperatures have also gotten better, it's worth it... trust me..

 

I am never taking that damn front bumper off again!

 

The picture with the bumper on, is that the drain plug im seeing hang under the lip on the passanger side?.

 

Yea thats because my lip is f'd up

I am getting a new one soon so you wont see it lol.

Someone hit the front lip and the centerpiece is no longer there.

 

do you still have the stock h/e black?

 

Yea in the garage

 

i wanted to know if you were evenn running it lol.Looks like il just have the stock radiator left....no ac or he soon.

 

No I took that **** out lol

 

cool me too than soon
