i just got en eg and it didnt have the bracket to hold the radiator overflow bottle on..... so i decided to hide it behind the bumper... but now it came to me that maybe its suppsed to be at the same level or higher than the radiator for it to vent? am i right? does it make a difference?

heres how i have it setup now....

There should be a /_\ shaped bracket that the side of the resevoir slides down into. I believe it is on the side of the radiator towards the intake box. And it would probably be a good idea to keep it somewhat level with the radiator.

 

yeah, well i have the tank and bracket for a teg.... no bracket for the civic, and the teg bracket is made to mount to the frame, which wouldnt fit on the civic.... but yea i should keep it level huh i figured that when all was said and done

 

bump ... anyone else know for sure?

 

It really shouldnt matter man. Fluid is forced in and out by pressure.

 

is your headgasket ok? aree you puffing white smoke?
are you Forced induction by any chance?

yeah, i just wasnt sure if the pressure needs to vent outta ther, if it matters if its level with the highest point of the radiator..
