Should have wrote this a long time ago, but have been having way too much fun all summer with the turbo. Ok, I need some help. I live in Colorado and it is a winter wonderland up here. Does anyone know of a windshield washer tank that will fit in the factory area of the old tank with the Hahn stage II intercooler piping? Anybody with that kit knows the factory one is removed and there is no room for it to be reinstalled. I have looked at a few junk-yards around here with no luck. Any suggestions will be great!
WOW that sucks
Personally I would just make one. The tank isn't presurized so you could use almost anything. The stock pump is held in with a rubber grommet so if you drilled a hole in a plastic bottle you could put the grommet in there and use the stock pump. It would be ghetto but at least you would have clean windows.
I have also seen wiper fluid kits with theri own resovior and pumps at the local auto parts store ... could be an option.
Thanks man, I didn't think about a universal set-up. I will check out the local autoparts stores.
I carry a bottle of windex year round. In the winter I add a little alcohol stuff to help defrost the windows.
I used to race cars, now I race myself.

Thanks for the responses, I will let everyone know what I found to work best.
on my silver cav I didn't want the look of having a gap under the hood leading to a big hole, so I what I did is choped out the center of the bottle so the piping goes right through the bottle. I had considered using epoxy and some platic to seal off the tnak again to make it still usable.... but I have no use for it since its not a daily driver, but thats an option as well, it will hold alot less then stock but it will work
Ok guys I found a tank that fits beautifully. It's out of a 91'-99' Toyota Tercel. All you have to do is mount the tank with three self tappers and washers, splice in the Toyota washer motor harness and re-route the existing washer hose. The GM washer hose end is larger in diameter so I added a small piece of rubber tubing to the Toyota washer motor outlet and then pushed the factory washer hose on, it works great and no leaks. You would not believe how nice it fits and it looks factory, the neck of the tank is even the right length.
I have had a few inquiries on this lately so I thought I would give it a little bump.
Glad I could help, there are so many different windshield washer tanks out there. I was lucky this was only my third one I tried, and it couldn't have worked any better.
