<\/a>ZZP S3 Intercooler Front-Mounted Heat Exchanger<\/p><\/div>\n
Here is the ZZP info on this part:<\/p>\n
Intercooler heat exchanger (radiator) for your liquid to air intercooler system. This HE is the largest most well thought out radiator we’ve produced to date. With a 1.8 liter fluid capacity, it holds more liquid than any HE in the Redline\/Cobalt market and with 4000 sqare inches of fin area it cools better than anything currently available!<\/span><\/p>\n

A different popular choice would be the Frozen Boost 101, but I really like the ZZP info and research, and I like that Tim is doing so much experimentation on what works for these cars, so I would like to test out the S3 on my STS-V.<\/p>\n
I’ll have to decide whether to put the OEM HX back in and then use the S3, or stay with the 45321 and S3.\u00a0 Best would be to test each set, but I am not sure I am up for those installs; we’ll see.<\/p>\n
My current tests<\/a> suggested the system is at a higher equilibrium temperature with the 45321 than it was with the OEM HX.\u00a0 This week I am continuing to monitor the fluid level and then hope to retest after it has burped air for the week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Tim C keeps working on his STS-V — he has done a turbo kit then returned it to stock at this point.\u00a0 His product offerings include a front mounted heat exchanger, an upper supercharger pulley service, and a new product … Continue reading
