ive removed my washer fluid bottle to make room for intercooler piping and i cant stand not having it. I'm **** about a clean windshield lol. anyways im looking for ideas and suggestions on what to do about this, i heard the type r bottle was smaller and could fit on top of the piping but i cant even find a pic of one to confirm this. all ideas are appreciated.

 

What size charge piping are you running or how did you route it that you have to remove your washer bottle? i have 2.5" on my dc and didnt have to remove mine

 

i also have 2.5

 

i dont have any pics that show that angle but on the right side i pretty much do a full u turn same as left side and then go 90 into the turbo.

 

here it is

 

You could mount it in the trunk pretty easily. Just extra wire and tube for the pump

 

ya im lazy lol. i wanna know if a type r bottle is smaller and also it should only have one hole for a pump because it doesnt have a rear wiper or if theres a civic one i dont know about thats smaller or if someones made one for another spot in the engine bay.

 

You should be able to keep the bottle in place. Lower the FDIC a nd piping down some

 

its not that close its like at least 4-5 inches up into the bottle i fooled around a bit with where i was gonna place the intercooler and where it is i think is the best spot for it with the bumper on for looks and air flow.

 

see what i mean, i think with a bigger intercooler which i plan on going to anyway i could get it under the bottle maybe ill just leave it till i buy a better one and actually tig all the charge piping toogether all at once. ive also got a silver surfer planned for the future but not until my internals are done so maybe not till next year around this time.

 

i was playing around with cutting some of the middle section out of the bottle and plastic welding it back together while eliminating the hole for the rear pump.

 

Hmmm. I have a 600hp precision in my dc with 2.5" charge pipes and it fits well. I don't have my car here in Texas otherwise I'd snap pics for you. I see what you mean by wanting good positioning for the intercooler though

 

thats what i mean with a larger intercooler id bet i could get the piping down to where the lip is giving me the few inches i need to fit the bottle again.

 

Gotcha. Well you'll have to Jerry rig something for the time being.

 

I'd still like to know about the type r bottle though. anyone know if its smaller, maybe i should ask in the itr section.

 

You could rig a coolant overflow tank and hook the hose coming out of the cover to the washer pump

 

i asked about the smaller itr bottle over on the itr forum im really really curious to know now lol. ive been looking at a bunch of pics of ppls cars with the bumper off and the larger intercoolers i dont think it will even be an issue once i upgrade cuz i can run the piping substantially lower so im just gonna wait till i do that, i just really want to know if the itr one is different now lol.

 

passwordjdm.com has a stock typeR bottle and it's smaller

thats awesome thats exactly what i wanted to know, 90 bucks though damn.

 

I used a generic coolant overflow bottle off ebay and did kind of a tucked washer bottle deal. Works great and the bottle was cheap!











It clears my 2.5" IC piping very well!

Here is a link to something similar on eBay

You just need to find a proper sized drill bit or hole saw to cut holes in the side of it for the washer motors and your golden. I put my digital calipers on the outside of the washer motor to get an O.D. measurement and used a comparable sized drill bit to cut the hole. Also the rubber grommets out of your stock bottle work great for sealing it up for no leak install!

 

mint!!

 

this is exactly what i meant, this is california dads ride and his bottle is nowhere close to the piping so i just need a bigger FMIC, boom done.

 

Exactly !!!
