I called my dealer to get a price on the redline's surge tank..$80 bucks. Theres no way I'm going to pay that for a plastic tank. Have any of you used a tank off another car or could I just run to autozone and get a generic tank that will fit? Bleeding the option A is IMPOSSIBLE. I've had the pump hot wired forever now. I've been sitting there watching and hearing the air bubbles fly past the little T overflow...sigh

Could I not temporarily remove the T and have its entry dump into a bucket with the outlet side submerged in the bucket at the bottom? Would that not have the same effect?

 

I think POWRZ from the delaware thread got some nice tank from there I think.


+ You should check out a junk yard.... should be able to get one for really cheap!

 

CED has it for $50..

i picked up a nice aluminum surge tank from summit racing for $50, it uses a standard rad cap you can find for $8 anywere. its 3" round, 6" long and has the fittings i need. the nice thing is it will fit on the rad support infront of the blower right were the stock water neck sits.

 

go to cheap gm parts.com and look sup the cobalt 2.2 or 2.4 should be good enough only 34 bucks.

 

just buy my kit and be better off

 

I spent 30 bucks making mine. Go to Autozone and buy a cheap generic tank.

btw, didn't mean to step on your toes stu.

 

Well...you'd need to drill the redline tank anyway so just get the cobalt one. It's the same size different mount. It's the same radiator reservoir in the ls and ss models. Should be 20-30 bucks shipped on ebay or junkyard. Otherwise yoou can get the cobra i/c reservoir and you won't have to drill but it's smaller.

Technically the surge tank should purge air from the system with the cap on...or just take it off and run the car/pump and it should bleed it.
