Killer Chiller bypass valve

I just picked up a KC for my 03 E55. I also just recently put in an upgraded H/E and want to keep it in for the winter time. Has anybody found a good bypass valve to switch off the H/E in the summer and KC in the winter? Manual operation doesn't really bother me just has to fit well and be practical.
Thanks

I have the KC and love it. I have a big HE that I am bypassing right now for the summer with a by pass vlave. Go to this thread and it should give you some more ideas.

Pm if you have any questions and good luck on the install.

Good pick up on the KC you will enjoy it a ton. I wanted a bypass valve but gave up as I never really found anything I really liked and wanted to deal with. Please update if you find a good one.

Looks good, maybe a little too big though?

That depends on where you put it. If you put it down by your pump, then no. But, you will have to get under the car to access it. If you want access to a valve where you have access to it by opening the hood, then yes that pump is too big. I looked into it that pump already.

Has anybody thought of no bypass valve, install KC after HE, but just insulate the HE really well? This way you use the volume of the HE and don't actually exchange coolant temp with ambient air temp

It is a valve you are looking for, not a pump .....

Try these : http://www.ascovalve.com/application...oidValves.aspx

Obviously you would need to wire a switch, but it should be very easy. Good luck.
