I installed the ZZP Heat / Exchanger over the weekend, here is my install "review".

The install over all was pretty easy. the biggest pain in the ass was getting the hose clamps off the stock hoses. In the end I had to cut them off with a dremel, this could have been inexperience, not sure.

Everything seemed to go on ok until I had to put the front bumper on. The H/E made the bumper stick out by about an inch, and I could not bolt the bumper back on. I managed to readjust it to get it to sit back, but its not on 100% straight. I think when I get time I will go in and re-drill the holes on the top tabs.

Over all its a nice unit, and I think the only reason it had trouble fitting is because of its size.

Knowing what I know now, I would still buy it again.

Almost a week on and no leaking, and I have put about 2L of extra fluid in so far.

How well it works, I'm not sure, the weather here has been up and down like a toilet seat, but the car does seem to run about 10* cooler.

PS: I'm not sure I like the ZZP logo on the front.

 

did you keep the stock exchanger on also?

 

yeah I did...

 

I think someone else had a fitment issuse before i'll try and find the thread

 

10* cooler via...interceptor? IAT2's?

 

yes, could be more or less, but could also be my imagination, as the weather is been between 5*f and 40*f for the past week

 

i think everyone has a fitment issue, it rubs on the front of the bumper and doesnt let it go all the way back, dragonfire12345 also has the same issue, i think he ended up cutting his bumper a bit to let it go back on

 

Yup, that fitment issue is a definite. What I did was just left the 'top' bolts out and just used the ones on the back of the crash bar. The bumper fits perfect.

I'm glad I got mine before the ZZP logo was being painted on.

 

Are you installed the bumper support tabs in between the bumper support and car or behind it? The bumper support bolts should not be touched. They HE slides on the back of the bolts sticking out and then the supplied nuts hold it onto there.

 

No, I did not remove the bumper support bolts. The H/E is barely even on those bolts, and the nuts that I received didnt fit onto them. I will take some pics when I get the bumper skin off again to adjust.

 

i ordered my zzp h/e a few weeks ago and have not received it yet, i was wondering how long it takes for it to arrive or if you know how to contact them so i can see what the problem, also if i have the ZZP logo on it i might paint over it before i put it on lol

 

im about to order my zzp h/e soon but im jus gonna use only that h/e

 

just use some brake cleaner on it and it will come right off. no big deal

 

to tell u the truth i like the zzp logo on it
