    C&R HE Install

    Sorry for the delay..i know you all are anxious to see. So wait no further. First off, i must give Van and his crew at Revan Racing a big Kudo's. C&R also. This is some serious hardware and well worth every penny.

    So...the parts..as you well know.


    I had already removed the old unit and made ready. CH53 came over to assist..rather be the gopher....:mafiasmile:

    Side by side of new and old...


    Mounted the pump bracket..Needed to add washers (not in the kit) to ensure a clean uniform and even fit. Otherwise the bracket would sit cockeyed





    Then installed the pump. Rotating the pump in the rubber mount was a PITA, so i removed it, greased the inside and reinserted the pump at a slight angle to clear the fan.



    Fan clearance from under


    Wiring was simple. I just feed everything how i wanted. The relay i mounted on the outside of the frame on both sides. The grey and black grounds were mounted together.


    The fuse assy comes closed looped. I cut the wire leaving a larger amount on one side for a cleaner install to the fuse box. Added a double female 10 gage wire butt connector (not in the kit) to one end, and the supplied larger closed loop connector to the longer end.


    Made my connection to the hot lead from the fuse box. I had to place both directly under the existing hot lead. I also had to dremmel a little of the inside tab away (the red extended cap) since with the additional wires loops, the height of the bolt changes. This allowed the red cap to sit properly and for the fuse box cover to snap back in perfectly.



    Then we added the coolant. Checked all lines, connections, etc. Yes, i did change both hoses (from coolant tank to pump, pump to HE). Started the car, and did the rag test.



    The two silver bolts under the splitter had to be cut a bit..i think i took about an 1/8" off for them to clear the bottom of the HE, or else they press against when all tightened up.





    All done. Worked great. We ran the car for about 20 minutes or so to vent all air and test the fanes. I couldn't believe the force of air being passed through. I couldn't even hear them from inside the car. What an awesome product. And relatively easy to do. Fan clearance wasn't even in question.
    Video of it running below.

    Nice. I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet next spring and put the rad & HE on the new car as well.

    Nice job SA I do have one suggestion on the install. Instead of washers why not just run a nut down the threads like a double nut to sandwich the pump where you want it. At least I think that was the pump that I was looking at.
    I need to do this to my car Mo Money Mo Money.

    thanks....i thought about the nut, but figured there wouldnt be enough contact area, so i used washers...

    great how to thread. with all that suction, you may be picking up every bug and piece of paper in a 1 block radius. i'd be curious to see your inlet air temperature changes after and before...
