ppl, all u gotta do is buy a 2 quart tank from advanced auto, 2 90 degree nipples with nuts and high temp silicone, and some heater hose...done! got the idea from hatrickstu and did it myself. BTW thanks hatrickstu

 

So do you run both the coolant tanks?? How much for the 2qt tank? Do you have a diagram how to run the lines for the hatrickstu mod...?

 

so let me get this straight... you're essentially just eliminating the stock tank in favor of a bigger one? or am i completely off? its been a long week lol

 

he does not replace it. hes doing in a way the option b system but better! he just replaces like he said before the little pos neck at the front of the blower and put a nice extra tank!

 

so you essentially get more power from this?? from it being cooler with this system, avoiding heat soak ??

 

For those with questions on benefits etc, search for "Option B"

 

k will do thanks

 

it's not that you make more power. Not every mod you do will yield more power (i.e. adding a bigger h/e). There is a difference, however, in making more horsepower, and making more "safer" horsepower. Stu's mod, like option B or getting bigger heat exchangers, allows you to make SAFER horsepower. In other words, it allows your supercharger to be cooled more efficiently so that you can make more extreme mods to your car without causing any damage.

 

you are confusing the "stock tank" with the engine coolant tank. the only reservoir for the IC system is the little thing in front of the blower. you are replacing this, running 12 foot of line, and adding an inline drain.

actually i am eliminating the stock "tank" if you really want to call it that. look people:



hope that clears it up. no more little filler neck.

yes and no. you are not making more power, correct there. however, if you reduce the IAT's enough you could theoretically be allowed to run more timing, or a smaller pulley with possibly similar IAT's that were on the bigger pulley before. reducing heat soak is a MUST in these cars.

 

so how much do you charge for this...i am lazy and would rather just buy a kit from you ha ha ha

 

if you would rather buy a body kit, this is not for you.

 

Lol he said he would rather buy a kit from you...not a body kit lol

 

**** im drunk. im sorry man, that is completely my fault. $160 shipped.

 

Hmm.. Tempting stu, tempting.. Just got my TVS+Ported Head Combo up and running.. Looking for some cooling..

 

you need whatever you can get

 

Stu,

Do you have a diagram how to hook it up running the hoses and mounting the larger reservoir.. Thanx..

 

yes, but i think the original comment i replied to implied the kit itself would make horsepower, and you've already stated that it doesn't. All the kit does is lower IAT's. The other stuff (run more timing, smaller pulley) is the power adder. All this kit, like a bigger h/e, does is allow you to run more efficiently and make sure you don't kill your car or s/c by making more hp.

In other words, i concur, but i'm too bull-headed to admit it

 

just run the input line to the tank from the top of the stock endplate. out line from tank goes to input on H/E. two holes over on the passenger side that you will have to drill after you mock up the tank to see exactly where they need to go.

 

Hey stu when you mounted the tank how does that piece of metal for mounting attach to the tank? I have your kit and I don't see how it works do I bend the metal bracket?

 

yes, you bend it at nearly a 90*

 

ok... i get wut ur saying... so basically this is an opt B system....same thing, or is there something im missing... the only other diff i see is a drain

 

no. option b is expansion. this is introducing more to the flow.

 

so u have like a straight flow tank..... its not just a catch/expansion tank, its pretty much a tank with an inlet and outlet and is an actual part of the system instead of a "reserviour"...... i think thats how u spell it

 

yes.

 

I'm working with Vulcan on a .7gallon aluminum version of this, curently still in the prototype stage, it's made and sitting on his desk top.
