Flowthrough Tank for track??
you are wrong fluid constantly flows through the option b tank. fluid comes out the top of heat exchanger into the tank then out the bottom of the tank back into the system
it could not constantly bleed the system if coolant did not flow through it
adding volume helps but just adding an extra quart wont do that much

i havent used either and dont plan to. but dont get so defensive about it. the differences between the two mean everything, and someone just trying to install something without understanding why makes no sense.

i get that. i was trying to explain why opt b does not increase capacity even though it has a larger tank... and yes, i did use a comparison to help my argument, but i was not trying to compare opt b to flow through.

I'm merely trying to prevent incorrect info being spread is all. Too many people think opt b was designed to add coolant to the intercooling system, and dont understand what its really there for.
My comment towards yours was more of a general comment towards everyone, so don't take it personal.
im getting about a quarter of a liter a minute from orifice equations. that is a bit more than id have expected.
thats my bad
I'm not getting defensive at all....

^ youre right. the online calculator i used is apparently off by a factor of 60. i worked out the dimensions and they are posting a flow rate of 15 liters per hour when it should actually be 15 liters per minute.
