I have been thinking and doing some research and I don't see why this wouldn't work the same if not better than option b. If the coolant flows into the top of the flow through tank and out the bottom, it should bleed the air efficiently right? This also adds more fluid to the system than the option b because it is in the mainstream of the system.
If I'm completely wrong I would like to hear your opinion as of why... But in my mind this sounds right.
Thanks!

 

It will not provide a continuous bleed like opt. b w/o a 0.040" restrictor orifice placed in a bleed line connected inline with the intercooling system.

Flow throughs are great for the track, because u can use them as an ice box, and as you mentioned it adds coolant to the system which helps to slow the rising of iat2 temps.

but a continuous bled system with no trapped air will always be more efficient.

Search this, there has been multiple discussion pertaining to the topic in the past. You will learn all the pros and cons as well.

 

so could you tap the stock intercooler and run the bleed line to the flow through and it serve as a dual purpose tank?

 

I think someone has done that in the past. That's why I mention to give it a search.

It's been a while since I read about flow throughs. Check it out man.

 

Option B is simply an air bleeder running from the stock h/e. A flow through tank will not bleed the stock h/e.

 

so i could just run the bleeder line into the flow through tank?

 

sure could

 

Restrictor?

Hmmmm. I dont recall a restrictor in my option B line.
Could that be why I get gurgling coolant in the tank?

 

w/o it, you do not have a properly functioning opt b setup.

pick one up from CED or any auto parts store.

 

Where does it go?

Could it be the reason my temps do not drop that fast?

 

the option b also functions as a flow through coolant is constantly flowing through the bleed line even with the restrictor

 

It goes in the 1/4" bleed line.

Yes, trapped air will raise iat2 temps.
