Coolant Reservoir with Large FMIC (Different / Relocate)

[Jeff Lange]

It cannot fit there at all for me. If i set it down on top of the IC, I cannot close the hood, lol.

No cruise control so thats where I placed mine for easy level reading.

I have a JZA70 for my Greddy intercooler. It fits. But before I got it I used one from a Honda Civic:

Are those brass or copper pipes on your valve cover vents?

 

[suprafredde]

Its copper that I got for free =)

I cut the lower half off the bracket and mounted it on the other side, when I installed my ic, even extended the harness so the birdcage light still works.



On that note, has anyone found a decent replacement float switch, outside of OEM? Mine isn't as buoyant as it should be.

I didnt even look at the car i got it from. I just opened the hood of several cars and chose the smallest one.

I know you said OEM, but I saw this on the other forum and it looks awesome:

He claims it's from optionsauto.

^appears to be am S13 replacement unit...

^this would be an S14 style replacement unit

I pretty much did the same thing as bmette, but I guess we have small core intercoolers. theres that much of a difference eh? why not look at a steel resevoir and relocate on engine side. is your battery relocated? thats the first place that comes to mind.

I know mine is just a lowly 7M, but I do have the DM kit and there was no way the coolant overflow was going to fit. I searched around a lot and found this one on Jegs of all places. It's just a universal overflow and both of the vaccuum line nipples are on the bottom. I have them easily routed and tied to the sway bar to keep it tucked up and hidden. I used the existing bolt that holds the PS reservoir bracket to the reservoir. Tucked in nicely and has at least an inch of clearance everywhere. Just another option I can get you the specifics of part#'s and such if you want more info.

Sorry for the crappy quality picture. I just went out real quick and took the picture.

Trent how tall is that thing? I have the same situation. Mine doesn't fit ether. I just have it smushed between the battery and radiator. I thought about putting under my headlight but it wouldnt be readly accessible

It's 13" tall with an 18oz capacity. I found the specifics of it where I bought it. Amazon has only a little bit of info, but if you go on Jeg's site, they have a little more.

make a custom bracket for the stock JZA70 one; that's what I did and it works just fine with my 31x12x3

Mine is right below the driver side headlight on my 88 MK3. You have to turn on the headlight to see it (flip up) but I did a permanent marker line for the levels so I can tell that everything is correct. Out of sight, out of mind.. sensors on mine so I don't have to worry about it. And if I look through the fog light opening on the bumper, I can see it clearly by looking upwards. Kind of a nifty place.. see if I have a pic...



You can see the arm for the headlight... and its tucked down nicely..

Kind of a pain in the ass to fill from there, but if my engine is losing coolant I will be an angry puppy anyway...
