Hey guys I'm looking for options for relocating the overflow (coolant) tank. Does anyone have any pictures or info for doing this? I'm trying to find a new tank that I can put in between the motor mount and the headlight area kind of like Sweetness/Sunfighter GT's setup.



Anyone have any suggestions? I saw the grand prix one:



But it doesn't look very good to me, would have to extend too many lines.

Thanks for any help

make some measurements and talk to a shop and get a sheetmetal box made with the nipples and such on it for the lines

Paco Loco had a sweet setup on his old cav.. *I believe that was him*

I am doing a turbo eco swap right now for someone. I relocated the stock bottle to where the battery was. He has 2 batteries in his trunk, so that wasnt an issue.

that grand prix bottle is just a over flow bottle , so it wont hold pressure , and only has 1 hose fitting

plus its like 16" tall

I'm kinda nervous to make a tank for myself, because there is a sensor in the bottom of the stock one, probably to check the level. I've looked everywhere for places to put the stock one, but can't figure it out...

Are there any other GM's that might fit? The impala is just a bottle, the aveo looks a bit on the big size, malibu looks big.

I was looking at the Saab 9-3 and it looks pretty small actually, as does the mazda RX-8.

i always pondered the thought of a jug out of a saturn 95-99 it more square but definatley not as long as the ones we have

As I said on j-body.com the tank is 100% custom and tig welded with all the nipples added to it for the stock equipment. The only thing it's lacking is a spot for the sensor so it isn't plugged in, so I check my coolant once a week to ensure it's where it should be. That tank there holds the capacity of the stock bottle for the most part, it bolts to the engine mount and a hole behind the stock headlight and hasn't given me 1 problem in 3 years.

I too searched for an overflow tank solution and found none, so this was the only route. If I were to redo everything again I'd do it exactly the same, the charge pipes work seamlessly with the engine bay and the overflow tank looks great and does its job.
