i know ive seen some before. im about to put my koyo radiator in and my coolant tank is currently ziptied in front of the radiator on the passenger side where the condensor used to be. the future problem i forsee is due to the koyo's thickness, i dont know if i can leave the hose that goes from the top of the radiator to the tank where it is b/c it would get squished between the radiator and the core support. and i dont want to have that ugly pos hanging by a ziptie like i had it before i moved it. so i was thinking about getting an aftermarket one that looks better (ie: matches the radiator in terms of finish (polished)... trying to sound as little ricerish as possible) and i know ive seen someone in the appearance forum that has one but i cant remember who.

so i did some browsing on ebay and found... an obx one i know, obx products are bottom of the rung (imo anyways) but can they really screw up a tank?

heres a link

the only thing they could screw up looks like the welds but id have my stock one just in case obx were to fail ( )

so should i do it? or is there another brand out there that i should look into? or what? im open to suggestions

is that what that is? the little blue hose?

 

thats what im thinking...only thing i can think of lol

 

that obx one looks like an oil catch can which = crap for hot coolant. Get an overflow tank with a secondary radiator car on it for better pressure control.

I just filled it up and let whatever needed to come out come out. It'll eventually level itself out and then you know how much to fill it up.

The brand is Billet Specialties. It's the only one I could find that had the perfect size for my radiator, came with billet mounting brackets and was pretty cheap.

Yeah, that little blue hose is the same as the hose on top of the stock overflow. If you look inside your stock overflow, you'll see it also has a hose that goes all the way to the bottom. This tank just has a fitting down there.

 

hmm i was wondering this as well....

where can i get this one?!?!



i wish the owner of that lude would chime in...

 

Yeah, I just went into the market of buying a new overflow coolant tank since my current one is basically crushed up and the screw-on top doesn't stay on because of a minor passenger side crash.
