Where is Intercooler Coolant Reservoir at?

lsp408 · 01-02-2018, 12:25 AM

Is it me or ZL1 does not have coolant reservoir for intercooler?

If there is one, please tell me where is it located at.

They don’t have one. CPR makes one.

ADM also makes a reservoir but it's currently listed as sold out on their web site.

I have a brand new, never installed ADM reservoir for 185.00 shipped.

We have a 6 gallon trunk tank kit, but upgrading the HX are more important since the PCM bases timing off of the calculated MAT values and not a true IAT2 reading like previous generations. Anytime you compress air, heat is a byproduct. So, the harder you spin the already high strung Eaton 1750, or strap on a big boy Whipple pushing 24psi at 920whp on our Mustang dyno

heat soak can come on fast but even in stock form, you can throw the ZL1 on the dyno and do three back to back pulls and the power falls off exponentially by the last pull.

Simply put, the OEM HX system can't keep up even in OEM form, but this was no different than the LSA ZL1 or CTS V too and while they've improved the cooling on the gen 6 with all of the heat exchangers, you also have to realize that you have trans cooler heat coming through the HX and all of that heat goes through the radiator along with the AC condenser heat. With our larger side HX, more of this heat is exhausted through the wheel wells. The passenger side ties into the radiator and the driver side ties into the center HX system and all of these are taken into account when tuning by the GM calculated MAT value which replaced the true IAT2 sensor from the gen 4 logic. So, this just doesn't benefit the supercharger, but also the engine temps!

Cores being thicker is only an issue if the manufacturer doesn't know what they're doing. It's a balancing act between core thickness, fin density, and the horizontal tubing inside of them. We've increased the core thickness and adjusted the fin density for more free air flow. The total system capacity of the fluid is increased over 150% with the added fluid in the exchange zone, so you have more fluid before getting heat soaked and more fluid in the critical area to shell the heat. It's all a balancing act with fluid speed, BTU capacity, and the external heat put into the system based on the ambient air temp and the rate at which the air is compressed. I can assure you that your car will make more power more consistently with these, even in stock form!

We also offer AN fitting options on the HX as well to accommodate larger lines for the Stewart pump upgrade. Lastly, we have the LT4 cooling manifold adapters to go to AN lines and this also really improved the flow since each side gets an independent feed and not sharing the same coolant crossover manifold.

Our Stealth trunk tank goes right under the hatch floor and there are brackets to relocate the electronics under there to the sides so that well is free like the ATS V and CTS V3. It's odd that Chevy put them under there when Cadillac located them on the sides and the trunk is identical back there.

Holds 6 gallons and when the mat and trunk floor are down, it's invisible. This was the first tank we put in which was raw:

can you show a pic of the product in black ice?

Sure that is just what we call the black as it's gloss with a slight sheen to it. It would look more like this.

is it painted or anodized? any difference in heat properties with the color?

So just to clarify, our cars don’t have a hidden reservoir like on the C7Z? I’ve seen it on those cars, and it has a visible air pocket that can be seen if the system isn’t bled well.

nope, only the C7 Z has the tank. CTS V and ZL1 do not have an additional capacity.

@ Bow Tie Affiar : Do you still have this ADM SC coolant reservoir?
