Coolant reservoir options

[Satan]

Because of the giant IC install, I am relocating/replacing my coolant reservoir and wanted to know if anyone's found a smaller/compact one that I can use, which would still have a low-fluid-level sensor in it.

So, maybe there's a small-@$$ overflow bottle out there for another Toyota that I can use (Corrolla, Celica, etc).

I can get a compact one for less than $10, but would pay a little more if I could still have my "museum" warning light come on when it's supposed to.

TIA!

If you relocate that battery to the trunk(better weight distribution) you could relocate it to where the battery is. It will also help let air into the engine compartment. Just an idea and you could keep your stock resevoir. No museum light

there is a hot rod shop aroudn me that builds chop top customs and all kinds of muscle cars and stuff but anyway this shop had an interesting overflow tank that i got for 40 bucks... it was a 1 1/2` wide pipe with a cap that was about 12' long... pretty neat little piece came with instalation brackets and was chrome haha... but yeah 40 bucks real nice pice maybe you can find somehting at a place like that?

There is a universal ApexI one, but it's a little pricey, and I don't know if it supports the low coolant reservoir light; however, the stock sensor can probably easily be wired/tapped in.

Yeah, I found alot of similar ones, but they do not "recirculate" the coolant. SummitRacing has some also, that you have to manually drain, instead of the standard ones which will pull the coolant back into the radiator.

JC Witney's also got a "compact" overflow deal for about $7.... which is probably the route I'll take. Don't wanna mess with refilling coolant everyday, so I'd want something that would work like stock.... I guess I'll figure out the sensor deal as well....
