Where do I get your chiller setup? This would be good on my street car.
@@byrdcity6490 FI interchiller is the brand
Put it in my Colorado and Pathfinder for the hell of it, don't have digital engine temp read out, hard to say if it helped any.
Better on fuel? How is it do traveling long distance, stay cool?
@lylegoodluck stays cool all the time. Highway cruising is where the ac system performs best
Is there an optional bass knob for this kit?
No sorry
@@TractionControlusa dang! Okay thanks friend
How'd you insulate the tank?
I used a sheet of insulating foam with an adhesive side. Cut the shapes needed to fit each side of the tank. Then sealed the gaps with black silicon to prevent condensation.
thanks for the video. whats done to the car ? how much whp is it pushing?
E85, cam, 16psi,DDP intake, 2" headers, Kong ported blower with 102tb. Id1300 inj. Stock bottom end. Car is pushing 860whp
Next try cool down from VP racing
Do you have any more of these laying around?
The socket or the harness ?
Where can I purchase this kit
Unfortunately the shop was closed last spring
what kind of injectors did you run with these pumps? i have a stage 3 cam trying to go e85 now
I ran ID1050s for a while. Until I got above 800 and had to add an aux pump anyway then went with ID1300s which is what I'm currently running
@@TractionControlusa i’m wanting to do the install myself then take it to georgia to get tuned since alabama has no good tuners, do you think it would be ideal to put them in and drive like 3 hrs to them to do the tune or would u not risk that and just let them do the full install
@@ashtonpitts1941 you're referring to the pumps or the injectors?
Hey I have oem factory ambient lighting but it doesn’t light up bright as when I first got it anymore what can I do
You might want to check your dimmer switch on the left side of the dash. The dimmer switch brightens and dims the ambient lighting along with the gauges.
@@TractionControlusa am I tripping or is the ambient light supposed to go across the dashboard too?
@kmart014 no. The ambient lighting did not go across the the dash from factory. That's why we made a kit to make it do it.
@@TractionControlusa are you located in California? I would wanna get the mod but I wouldn’t know the first thing about installing it. Or can you recommend someone in socal to install it
@kmart014 I'm sorry we are located in Austin Texas, and unfortunately we closed our doors earlier this year
Can I buy just the light pipe from you guys??
We actually stopped using this light pipe method about a year or so ago. We started using an updated method with better hardware for a cleaner and even look, however we closed shop back in 2/23. I will probably be releasing a video on how to build it yourself with the new hardware soon
@@TractionControlusa that sucks. I ordered 3 of the ice blue LEDs with connectors from GM. I'm starting a Audio/ lighting/ welding business in Pittsburgh Pa and I was actually going to see if you could be the source for some of the materials. Everyone here with Camaros can't wait to see what they look like. I have more than a dozen people looking for me to install this. I hate to hear that you guys shut it down. There's a ton of your stuff that I know I can sell/ install here. I wish you guys the best of luck and appreciate your impact on the Camaro aftermarket!
@billchambers6015 I would love to see this work continued. We found that the ice blue LEDs from gm that is used in the doors isn't bright enough to be used on the dash kit, we used a brighter set of SMDs for our doors and the dash kit when it used an LED for this reason, the company that made them has since gone out of business. If you would like to know the hardware we changed to feel free to reach out me at gen5concepts@gmail.com and I can provide you the list and what's needed for install.
@@TractionControlusa That would be great!! I appreciate you guys and we will stay in touch.
I have a similar kit from gen5diy. I installed it as you showed and it looks good. The problem I’m having is the light pipe is sitting to low on the right side of the dash so it’s not shining properly. What size is the trim you used to create the gap? My kit didn’t come with it. It looks to be foam adhesive weather stripping but what’s the width and thickness?
Our leds are brighter than gen5diy but lifting it up will definetly help. In our original kit (the one on the video) we used a FIRM adhesive weatherstripping about 1/2" thick. You should be able to find something similar at autozone or advance auto. Oreillys and Napa doesn't carry the same type of strip, theirs is more foamy, if that makes sense.
@@TractionControlusa Thank you, I will check tomorrow. I originally thought you guys were with gen5diy and the kit you were installing was from them. I didn’t realize I bought a different kit from yours tell after I received it unfortunately. I’m happy with it none the less. I really appreciate the quick reply though. The video was really helpful when I was installing this today. You guys are awesome!
@@AaronV_901 always happy to help.
Does anyone know how to repair a drive door ambient light? Mines not working on a 2010ss
If it's just the one side not working then either its unplugged inside the door or the led is blown and will need replaced. You'll need to pop the door panel off and check for voltage at the harness or at the led to verify. If you have voltage then replace the led.
@@TractionControlusa thanks man.
At the beginning of the video the tank didn't have a line on the upper left corner of the tank, after installation of the system the video shows the line. Why was it added and where is it connected too. Thanks Much. I'm adding LSA to my 15 SS with an interchiller and I'm looking at tank setups, also what interchiller system are you using?
You have a good eye. The purpose of the added line was to "vent" the tank from pressure. When I first installed the tank the lid would randomly leak coolant, in an effort to avoid coolant leaking around the lid I installed a vent tube to an overflow canister until it could be fixed. Not long after I made this video I got with the tank manufacturer who sent me a resized oring for the lid. I removed the extra line and plugged the hole. There have been no leaks since. The brand of chiller I'm using is a modified version of FI interchiller.
So this is on a 2nd gen V? Those DW300’s will support a decent amount of power without other mods? Factory lines/wiring etc? I’m going flex fuel soon and would rather go this route than the aux kits
They will support up to 750whp on e85 with the proper injectors and tuning. Above that you will lose pressure and need an Aux pump.
You mentioned Waco Texas….. are you near Waco or actually Hewitt specifically? If I’m mistaken and this isn’t a business then Nevermind.
We used to be located in Waco yes. L&D Automotive is in waco, where this was filmed.
Would you recommend sanding the whole strip down I have the same black panel zl1 and the light barley passes through.
Sanding is a bad idea. The light does not pass through the paint, the light shines into the edge of the plastic and is reflected off of the black paint. This is why it is brighter on the silver panels vs the black. We used to make a brighter LED kit to remedy this issue..hence the purpose of the video. Unfortunately we no longer make them.
I'm late to the mix.. I'm having heat soak issues with '18 V3 ctsv in Las Vegas. I've had IAT 2 temp reach 189 while sitting still in a parking lot on an important call. The temps came down quickly when I started moving. Today was 95 degrees and the lowest temp I got was 123, high 174.. Only had the car 2 months, bought it from owner in Detroit.. methanol doesn't kick in until 6K rpm.. Looking to do a similar upgrade like yours.. How much does it cost?
Chiller systems are not cheap, however any cooling mod isnt cheap. A good chiller setup will be around $2,000 . If your IATs are that high your car is pulling timing and you dont even know it. The car will feel sluggish until cooler weather comes in the fall. With a chiller you will have boost season all year round. It really is the BEST cooling option out there for anything who actually drives their car on the street.
How much power are these rated for?🙏🏽🙏🏽
these 2 pumps will support up to 750whp on e85 with the proper injectors and tuning. at 750 pressure will begin to lower, We installed a DW 320lh aux pump to remedy this issue. the aux pump coupled with these 2 pumps now produce 72psi at the rail all the way to 6500rpm on e85 making 860whp
Did you use the new high pressure pressure relief valve that came with the dw kit? Or did you leave the stock one in?
I've done several sets of these so far. I always leave the oem valve in. I've heard reports of the new valves locking shut and popping Lines, so I don't use them.
I am installing the exact same setup on a 15 ZL1. How did you get your steering wheel controls working? Was it through the cambus because the Dasaita does not use the 3.5mm cable?
There are wires labeled key 1 and key 2. Use the key 1 wire and connect it to the steering control wire. The correct wire color should be labeled in the instructions in the diagram section
The car already had dash lighting mine just stop working any thoughts thank U
None of them came with dash lighting from the factory. If it was there then someone put there. It's possible the less blew out, or the power or ground was interrupted. Hard to say who even made the kit that's there. You'll have to pull it out and start testing it. Or replace it
@@TractionControlusa Thank U for the info
Have you ever broke the skinny hose/line that runs off of that? Any recommendations? What’s the use for it? The unit I have the hose is broke where it goes to the dual pumps
The unit will need to be replaced. There is no repair for that hose.
Gonna try this. I bought a symphony ambient light kit like 2 months ago and it's just been sitting in my trunk, will try this out and see how it goes 😌
Or 13inch will be pushing it and 10inch will be better
Do you think the dasaita 13 inch will fit with out covering other things
The 13ich will mostly likely cover the vents or the hvac controls, or alittle of both. That size is pushing given the space
😂😂😂😂😂 GIT EEER DUN 💯💯💯
That’s sick heat is why they say you shouldn’t compound 4 cylinder motor’s if you can get rid of the heat you should be good
Is there a link to this kit
There was. We just closed up shop last month.
@@TractionControlusa aww dang, ok
Hey there. Did you have an issue when you first installed them? I recently put dw-300s in my cts-v. Fuel pressure drops like 20psi at wide open throttle, but back to 50psi+ at idling. Do you know what that's about? Thanks
Yes. If you search forums and groups you will see this happen. The fpcm needs tuned first and foremost. The pumps draw considerable more power than the factory pumps, the fpcm thinks there's a short and cuts the power, it will make you think you are losing pressure when in reality the issue is tune related. On a log the pressure will drop off a cliff , rather than a slow slope off. Make sure your tuner is tuning the fpcm correctly. Once that is done if you any further issues let me know as there is one more thing you can do.
@TractionControlusa I really appreciate the input. I'll let me my tuner know tomorrow. Thanks again
how many wide open pulls can you make before the cooler system heat soaks?
Depends on your boost level and how long you stay in it. I do mostly 1\4 racing with it. So in 1 pass itll never get over 100. It'll rise a out 40* then come down about 20* immediately. By the time you cruise back to the line it'll come down another 20 and be back to where you started before you hit the line. If you're on the street... Maybe 3 back to back pulls before I'd recommend letting off and cruising a bit.
Where can I buy it
Great video Did! Did you ditch the exchanger? Do you have the ac compressor on all the time or only turn it on before spirited driving?
Yes I ditched the exchanger. There is a valve that allows you to run both if you wish. I keep my AC on all the time, but I'm in Texas so my ac rarely gets turned off anyway..maybe for 2 months in the winter ..
@@donventura3844 I ditched the hx. I live in texas..the ac runs day and night year round already.
Can you get apple CarPlay on there ???
It comes with apple car play as well yes
Sorry bro , where can I buy the lights. Are they still for sale?
Do your have an install video? How to you keep it powered and connect the back up camera,i just got a 2014 ZL1 and the my touch system is ancient compared to my 2016 mustangs sync 3
Sorry I don't have an install video. You will need the "PAC audio dash kit" in order to install it. It comes with the wiring that will need preconnectee to the stereo pig tails to make it plug in play in the car. Pretty much the same as any aftermarket stereo. The back up camera in the 14 zl1 has an "rca style" connector that plugs into one of the 3 video input ports on the stereos harness.
I've seen no "control" in these test on YT so far. Shutting your hood will increase IAT temps. Also, IAT isn't a direct reflection of engine temps...so IAT as a control doesnt work... especially if you shut or open your hood. As for sitting there allowing your car that already has mechanical temp regulations (fan, thermostat, fans etc) you're not going to see a drop in temperature unless you surpass the car's ability to cool bc your car is also heating itself up, & then regulated by those mechanical aids. Especially if you have an icebox in the back of your car you've already modified your car to further retain cooler temps. This test will only work if you surpass your cars ability to "naturally" let's call it, cool your engine. An idea.... Radiators are regulated by the thermostat. And your thermostat regulates temperature via pressure that opens the thermostat, allowing water to cool the car. So, adding ANY cooler additive like let's say a cup of ice (not enough to actually cool the volume a car holds while being heated by the engine, would only temporarily delay the time of pressure building to open said thermostat. For example... If you added one cup of ice every half hour let's say, the cars heat would surpass the cooling capabilities of ice spread out through that much time, thus not reflecting an actual drop in engine temperatures. All it would do is increase the time that it took for the thermostat to open (or X pressure/ X heat to be reached)... Or decrease the amount of times the thermostat had to open. I'd say a safer test on a personal car might be to monitor how often a thermostat is opening, or how often fans have to kick in to aid the water. Other than that someone with me too have the thermostat either removed or held wide open... Unplug the fan... Let the car idle and find its regulated (without mechanical aids) temp. Then adding Purple Ice and see 🤷♂️
and open or closed hood does it affects IAT temps with a chiller installed. This test was in no way ment to monitor engine temps. If you actually watched or listened the whole point was to see if it would affect the intercooler temps at all. Which it obviously it didn't. A lot of people out this stuff in their intercooler fluid and sweat it helps. You probably want to go argue with them.
@@TractionControlusa I see I see. That's a chiller 🤦♂️🤣, fair enough, I miss that part. I get what you're saying here... however, this product isn't meant for this type of a test. That's all I'm trying to point out here. It's like using a fork to cut food with...it can work, but it's not really it's true purpose. All it does is increase the surface area that water contacts surfaces to. In order to cool it needs a large surfaces like radiators, that are normally at or over 200⁰. It's not magically changing water into colder water via chemical reaction or etc. Far as I know a chiller is uses the AC to cool the water. And At 63⁰, there's less of a threshold here to cool. Meaning, hot cup of water at 180-220⁰ (radiator temps), cools at a higher rate than say... a cold cup of water at 63⁰. I didn't hear anything about the size of the intercooler you have, but I'd assume it lacks the same surface area as a radiator. Those are two huge factors, plus it being aided by AC, is all going dramatically lessen it's ability to work. I don't mean to be semantical, but...if you get how it is achieving what their claiming, this video isn't representative of proof it doesn't. I'm going to try my bottle in my weak ass radiator here soon 😆. Ps. Nice car, pss...I want a chiller now on my Z06! Thanks 🤑 lol.
@@MaxwellReviresco agreed. I didnt think it would do anything from the start. That's why I did the video. Lots of guys think it does and there's no arguing with them.
can you watch youtube on this???
Yes. Anything you can do on an Android tablet you can do on this
Do you make pulls with ac running or do you make a lic then turn on interchiller to cool off temps
I run my chiller all the way up to the burnout box. I do pretty short burnouts to clean my tires. I then shut my ac down. Make pull. Turn ac back on as I'm coasting at the end. I do all this just to be on the safe side.
The ecu auto shuts down the A/C system as soon as you go wide open throttle, because A/C compressors are not designed for higher rpms. This has been the standard in all manufacturers for years.
@@A2J_Tim you are correct, they do. However when you let off the throttle your engine can still have pretty high rpm ..this rpm is transfered to the ac compressor which raises refrigerant pressures. If you had a button in your car that would guarantee you would never throw a rod during a pull...would you take the extra second to press it ? .. im sure you would ;)
@@TractionControlusa in modern cars the Engine control module is in control of the A/C system and will not allow that compressor to engage above a specified rpm as per manufacturer programming so even if you let off and you are still above the acceptable rev count it will not re engage the A/C system. Technology is a wonderful thing, Some times..
@ORIANA250 again you are correct EXCEPT we aren't talking about abfactory ac system anymore, we're talking about a system with a chiller that has been added. The ac compressor on a 5th gen camaro(the car in the video) is set to shut off above 3500rpm. This is fine when working with the oem expansion valve. But can damage the chiller valve. The valve in the chiller is a home hvac tx valve that's been repurposed. Also these companies do NOT give you a specific fill weight for your refrigerant, which leads to many over and under fills.
What are iat 1&2 on wot pulls
Iat 2 doesn't seem to care what 1 is. Iat1 can get up to 150 at idle and iat2 is still sitting at 50(or whatever it got down to). Once you begin a pull iat1 will usually drop due to moving air flow, iat2 will rise , mine usually goes up about 35-40* per pull. So if it starts at 60 I'm at 100 iat2 at end of pull. Then I just pull around and the temps immediately start dropping again
Useless video
can someone tell me what the 4 wires mean on each speaker i cant find what wires are negative and positive for my loc
Just wanna say appreciate you for improving the interior lighting in the 5th gen, i really hope you continue to do this
i wonder if lowering the temperature is even good thing in a stock properly working car. the manufacture designed the system to run at a specific temperature . Furthermore how can this make the engine run cooler if the thermostat is opening and closing at specific temperatures? Also if this stuff works so well why wouldnt manufactures add it to their coolant?
Hey I have a Camaro SS 2010 I try installing the same converder you have but how do you know which wires from the factory speakers do I connect because there is 4 wires that connects to the factory speakers..4:27.......
The one beside the green wire as shown in the video

I have an rx8 , i use 30% prestone, i can mix it with cool max?

You have to change it or you have to leave the factory one, it went to the dyno and presented a fuel failure. I changed, I put what came in the new pump
you changed the Fuel Pressure Regulator ?
