Washer fluid relocation?
Tuesday, November 08, 2011 5:00 PM
You guys that are boosting and running your IC piping through the driver side fender, where are you relocating your washer fluid reservoirs? Are you installing some kit or fabricating something up, or just removing them completely?
For a dd the removal wouldnt be an option as its a safety feature I would never completely do without.
This could also be for an N/A cavy that is simply eliminating that factory air box to run a true CAI.
Pics if ya got'em!

I, like you, had to keep washer fluid for sure. My stock tank is still in the factory location. You can get pipe around it easy enough if you have to..

I tried this, my piping goes into the bay here though, so this was a bust. I didn't want to go under the car for any of this.

alex, so does the pigtail just plug right up to our stock wiring harness? I cant imagine it being a simple plug n play..so if not, do we just splice the two wires and seal that off?
I would like to remove the factory setup anyways cause its such a big block of 'sh!t' like the OEM intake boxes, just a waste of space. I like to keep my engine bay as empty and clean as possible.

no its not plug and play but just cut and splice id assume. i haven't installed mine yet and is still sitting here in the box,. but both pumps use a simple 2 wire setup. cut, sotter, and shrink wrap.

i really dont think its that much in the way... its quite thin and works without modifications. But thats just me. It even has a spot across it where its indented so that you can run the pipe right by it.

Do we think this could be done without removing the bumper? I know we can get the bottle and resonator out through the fender liner, but can we get the trecel one in and bolted in? I mainly want to do it to get a 10 pound piece of plastic out of the car and replace it with a 5 pound piece, and free up room to stick my intake and my monster filter in there.

Leafy,

Yes you can, just have to remove the splash shield.

I was thinking about trying this this weekend.

Yeah I'm trying to find a yard with both the trecel washer tank and GA control arms.

FIY, this place has it for the same money that all the junk yards around here want for it, and this is a new unit. Your text to link here... Only issue is that it doesnt come with the connector. And I cant seem to find the connector.
