use the bottom as the outlet. Don't worry about the size.

okay, thanks man. The bottom line ( Outlet is 3/4 ) thats plenty . Its the same size as the inter cooler hose diameter. But the top line ( inlet ) is only 1/4. But the line i have to hook up to it from the pump is 3/4 as well. So am going to have to drill and tap it out to 3/4. I think i have the hook up figured out. I'm gonna try and hook it up in a few weeks once i replace my control arm bushings and my end links.

Ya i believe you need to re drill the top one so that you can fit the 3/4 inch hose onto the nipple....

everyone take note of the tank the guy with the o3cobra surge tank used...............it has a PRESSURIZED 10 psi cap. Once again I'm questioning those who are using simple snap caps................

Yeah, i was thinking the same thing. The filler neck for the intercooler system has a cap that is rated for 5 psi. thats why im using the stock resivior that has the 15 psi cap on it.

I could see why it would crack, especially sitting in the front end of a Cobra. Not to worried about it cracking, if it looks like it will, or might, I can put a strap around it like others do with alternate bottles. Yes it definetly does hold less, I dont know what these ones that people are buying for ten dollars at Auto parts stores hold, but with the extra hose, and the Cobra res, I figure it will be about half a gallon extra coolant.......

It will work for now I hope. I am not to worried about temps right now, cuz hell its 60 out right now, I just want to get that damn fill neck out of the way. When someone makes one that is either molded in, or out of metal, I will do the simple swap out if I deem it necessary. I just dont see these home made ones holding up to well in the long run. I will let everyone know how it works, temp wise. If it doesnt, then I only dropped $20.

[QUOTE=ralliartist;2860259NOTE TO THE WISE: also, just to let people know, if you run a small 1/4" hose from your new coolant tank to the bleeder valve(obviously you'll have to tap in a nipple here) on top of your stock h/e (if you are still using your stock h/e.) then you will EFFECTIVELY constantly bleed the system of air which will in turn create better cooling. Just Food For Thought.[/QUOTE]

I did come across a hose that had a 3/4 hose, with a seperate 1/4" hose that branched off from it on one end. Wonder if that would work to bleed the air?
