mine will arrive tuesday as well. damn holiday. isnt even a holiday for me. but @ $41.27 i'm not gonna complain

 

any word on a redline install?

 

yay for stu.

are you going to become an actual supporting vendor?

 

Clever idea, but do you happen to have any lead on tanks that don't have fittings screwed into them? That's eventually going to spring leaks from the vibrations in a car, regardless of how careful you are during install.

Trust me - I tried it.

Now if it were metal instead of plastic like this one, it'd work just fine.

i dont know where to find ones that are close to the same shape

 

Ok I have a question for those of us just running an aftermarket h/e with NO stock h/e. Would it benefit it as much because of the large size of an aftermarket one like CXR. Pretty much what im trying to ask...More coolant means better cooling right....is there ever a point where adding more coolant is an overkill and doesnt really help? Can there ever be too much coolant?

 

we are waiting on my friend to get the stuff together to start the install. the only diference should be the routing but we shall see.

 

i dont think you can really ever have too much coolant especially in a hot state like florida or texas or anywhere in the summertime really except really up north like canada...idling in traffic creates really bad heat soak on these cars so the more the better i think. by the way im gonna be doing one of your h/e installs pretty soon on mine as well.

 

Going to be doing whose H/E installs? Mine? Stu...do you have directions on how to do this mod or are you just giving them out to people who buy the kit?

 

It shouldn't be hard to do. Bolt the tank in, get some nylon fittings from Home Depot, take out the plastic fill tube, put the fittings in the existing tubes and run lines over to the tank.

I'm working with some fabricators to get aluminum flow through tanks built. Ideally it'll be under $100, but that really depends on the vendor fee from CSS.net. I'm waiting on responses from moderators and information from the shops (closed for Labor Day) but then I'll put a thread up.

 

yea i was talkin about usin your install method for the cxr h/e im gonna put on soon...stu did a how to on the install in the how to section.

 

i too will be looking into metal flow tanks

 

I know you said it will roughly double the cooling system (therefore adding two quarts), just out of curiosity how much does the tank alone add?

 

well its a 1.5 quart tank.

 

I looked at this tank today and its no bigger than the option b tank!

how big is that? ill try it

 

i just emailed roush and asked them if they would sell one of theyre badass black coolant tanks from their roushcharger kits that they make for mustangs.. i saw it today on horsepower tv when they were installin one it looks perfect for this application its already got the fittings on it and a pressurized cap.

 

I got a box in the Mail from some Stu guy in Arkansas...


...me thinks its a bomb.

 

its a bomb alright quick dispose of it immediately.

 

Height: 8.0" x Width:3.00"x Deep 2.5".
A little more than a quart.

 

I found a coolant overflow tank for $50 bucks by Weapon R if anyone is interested. Has the cap and its made out of aluminum, PM me for the link.

 

This is Stu's Vendor Interest thread...

...not the "Let's scam Stu's idea and make our own system" thread.

And I'd prefer a plastic tank... that way you can keep an eye on the flow and make sure that the pump is still working.

 

^true, Yay for Stu!

 

It's not even Stu's idea - this product has existed forever for the Cobras. He just found a **** cheap way of making it and has a massive profit margin.

Also, you can just as easily check to see if the coolant is flowing with an Aluminum tank - take off the cap and you should see a stream of coolant flowing.

 

OR buy a interceptor or something to monitor your car which is a must if your modding your car and watch your damn iat2.


nice.... weapon r makes about 5 different overflow tanks in different sizes and shape one of them gotta fit.

 

Quoted for the biggest truth ever. Well said.
