Whipple Crossover Bleeder Plug Help/Question

[classix_stang289]

I will be finishing up my gauges today and one of the things i have left to do is install my sandwich adapter on the passenger side hose of the water crossover. Now when it comes to refilling the coolant, when do i use the bleeder plug on the whipple water crossover? While the engine is running? After the thermostat opens and the fans turn on? Now does the cooling of the supercharger get effected as far when i drain the engine coolant does anything happen to the supercharger coolant? do i need to remove air pockets from the supercharger now? The reason i ask this is cause my previous cars i've had or worked on when it came to refilling the coolant there was no bleeder plug or supercharger to worry about, just filling and starting the car so it warms up with the heat on till the thermostat opened and that was it

when the car is running. Start it turn the heat on full blast on defrost with the coolant tank cap off and 3/4 full. Let it run and just open it every couple of mins and let the air out. When you start to get just coolant close it and repeat until you have good heat and the car is staying at normal operating temps and the upper and lower hose feel the same temp. Be carefull as my bleeder broke after a couple times of opening and closing but these cars almost bleed themselves out anyway.

no problem

so no need to touch anything with the cooling of the supercharger right? thats not affected?

let that run with the cap off with the tank to the full mark, that will bleed itself while you are fucking with the engine coolant.
