I had read, somewhere, that these were supposed to be as close to a spherical end as you could get.

Ours was the same way. It was way tighter than 18ftlbs. Surprised it didn't break taking it off.
Glad I asked! Looks like I read the specs wrong and purchased the wrong bushings. I will be ordering the K201285 like yours.
Is there any reason or advantage to replacing the other bushings on the control arms? i.e. https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=3485115&cc=1440995&jsn=18
Thanks!

Just new rubber. Mine were questionable enough to warrant replacement.

More small progress.
Brake reservoir, adapters and lines mounted.
Just need a longer hose for the clutch master cylinder.

Worked on the dual pass plumbing.
Hope the lines are tucked close enough in towards the engine, for fuel tank clearence.

If you planning on running a hood, the clutch switch is too high and will hit the hood. Trust me, I know. Check out my the posts on my build. I had to cut it off and remount a different switch. I have another switch if you want to try and do the same thing I did.

I saw that on your post and was thinking of doing that same modification.
But I've been contemplating building my own nose and front cowl. The cowl/hood would be a little higher giving more clearance. That is theoretical and not actual at this point.
Thank you for the offer on the switch though.
Question, is there something that extends the front bulkhead to the inside of the body to keep the heat from the radiator out of the cockpit?

No, not really. Wouldn't be hard to use some firm foam or something the help cut down on it. Nobody has really complained about it being too bad.

I don't think you could get those too much closer!

SC Intercooler fan question. What are people using for the fan power source?
Existing radiator fan circuit?

That is my plan. Engine coolant fan will run through low fan relay controlled by ECM and intercooler fan will run off the other fan relay which will be constant ground trigger to run full time with key on.

There are also a variety of unused circuits such as ABS, HVAC, airbag, etc. that are powered by the run/crank relay.

Are you having to program the constant ground trigger in the ECU for the intercooler fan or is that circuit already configured that way?
I'm thinking of running dual heatexchangers, each with their own fan. I don't know off hand how much current draw the fan is but thinking I can power both from the same circuit. They're pretty small fans.

The ECU usually provides the ground for the 86 pin of the relays to tell the fans when to turn on. I will just be grounding the 86 pin of the second relay right from the fusebox to ground instead of it going to the ECU.

Awesome, thanks! I think I'll be doing the same.
The heatexchanger seems small in cooling capacity compared to the stock Cobalt one and the ZZP version.
Anyone running the provided heatexchanger noticing any heatsoak when driving for awhile or getting any coolant temp readings for Intercooler system?

I thought the same. A few people are running the stage 3 one from zzp. I am going to go with the provided one first and see how it goes.

I speak with Kyle from zzp somewhat often and he said it is important to have an efficient intercooler on these engines to reduce IAT’s & heat soak. I also question the efficiency of the provided one, but at the same time we don’t have a lot of other options where decent airflow is provided. Would be great if anyone had data logs to share.
