We had a couple local customers who had ordered and installed the auxiliary coolant tank on their 2.0 Supercharged cars. Both had zip-tied the coolant tank to the GM bracket. Both customers expressed a desire for us to fabricate a bracket to properly mount the tank.

Here's what we came up with:






It's hard to tell just what the bracket is in these pictures. That's actually the point. The bracket looks stock as if it was installed at the factory. We will take pictures of the bracket alone so you can see what we are describing.

Currently we are hand building these so the best we can offer is $35.00 each, painted black.
If there is enough interest we can see about doing these in billet aluminum to reduce the cost. Laser cut / CNC machined would be much quicker but minimum quantity for this type of part would be 25.

Let us know what you think.
Thanks everyone.

 

nice

 

looks good

 

nice product.

side note: who's blower is that? that's the exact color scheme i want for my blower when i paint it!

 

Ooooo, I'd so buy one of those...

Is that just another stock coolant tank added to the system? Or something else?

 

I would want that but need a tank to mount first lol... may just have to get on the ball and get rolling with dual pass and option b now

 

would rock it but i have a water/meth kit mounted there.

can you make brackets around the water/meth setups? i fabbed up my own little brackets but i want a cleaner look....

 

In your pictures it appears you have the same coolant tank mounted. I have not seen the water/meth kits personally. Is it mounted under the auxiliary coolant tank? I do notice you have a wiper reservoir present where the 05 Ion does not. Did you relocate yours or did our customer delete his? Sorry guys, I'm still learning about the differences between the two models as well as the cars as a whole. I'm pretty confident we can build a bracket for the meth/water kits but we will need a local car, with the kit installed, to do the R&D.

Thanks for all your comments.
I must say, the Cobalt and Ion community are much more active and involved with their cars, clubs, etc than any other niche market we have supported. It's a welcome change.

 

I'll have that kit soon and I'll have to probably have to order up one of these....

 

cobalts got the windshield washer fluid on the passenger side, ions on the driver side

 

Got it. Thanks for the clarification.
I'll get a picture of the bracket, outside of the car, and post later today.

 

No prob. There are other minor differences such as the radiator upper support frame being a lott closer to the engine/supercharger creating some clearance issues. It is possible to change pulleys/hubs on the redline without removing the supercharger. It is virtually impossible to do so on the cobalt

 

easy as **** to change pulleys on the balts. but not hubs

 

that would be my car ur lookin at! if u want some more pic ill take them... just so u know i didnt take the blower off when i painted it... and the scratches in the blower are from when we pulled it off to do the Opt B. Dan thanks for all the great work!

 

sweet piece, just a couple of questions, what is the second tank for, the engine coolent or the intercooler??? Also how do you hook it up? cause i think i might need one depending what it's for!

 

Its 4 the opt B which adds a second surge tank 4 ur HE coolant

 

Will this fit a balt without any problems? Seeing as it was made for a redline and there are some layout differences.

 

I see no problem with it fitting the Cobalt but we will certainly confirm this on a local car first.

Thanks.

Also, we are working on a trick piece for the HE up-grade and option. If it works out you guys are in for a treat. Enough said....

 

Ahh you got me all fired up now Dan! I'm looking into this bracket and hopefully once i get ready for my "dual-pass" I'll definitly get your bracket. I heard words of a billet one? What would be the price difference for that? And possible etching available?

 

I haven't had a chance to get the bracket quoted in billet aluminum yet. It would be available mirror polished and clear-coated, powder coated or painted. I dropped the "other" part you gave me off for quotes today.

You guys have us thinking and considering a number of parts now. I need a car back if you're available Friday... We can work on one project at a time.

Thanks again.

 

let us know the updates. waiting to make purchase when available you have the polished option

 

I talked to Dan today and he said he could possibly make the left side of the bracket verticle so you wouldn't stand out and towards the firewall bend it up towards the front of the car for a good viewing angle and etch it with a Supercharged engraving which i think would look alot better. What do you think cole?

 

are we able to purchase this bracket now? I just ordered option b and dual pass so looks like I need the bracket now lol

 

the engraved supercharged would look hella sick. cant wait to see the final product...

 

lol this all sounds great! im just glad i have the "first one"!
