Resevoir for intercooler?



All the ones I've seen were mebbe 3/4". Actually had several gtp owners make comments at the size of the montes rad and its 1"
 
but they dont sell a 3/4, you can buy a 5/8 for na cars, and the one inch for the sc cars. i replaced my rad, been down this road.

or that zzp rad is the largest out there iirc.

I wouldn't run that because it has 1/8th npt fittings, way too small.

That's how they come normally since their meant to be fuel tanks but you can customize them however you want I was emailing the guy and he said for 40$ they would weld on 2 3/4 npt bungs in the spot of my choice and that they didn't have to put the 1/8th npt bung in if I didn't want but, I was actually going to have them leave it so I could put a coolant temp sensor which most happen to be 1/8 so its perfect. So happy I have literally spent probably ten hours of my life trying to find the perfect tank.

The one I'm getting is .58 gallons. That's pretty good for the intercooler system right? And vented lid or non vented?

Would I need two pumps if I ran an icebox to the trunk?

You don't need 2 pumps as long as you don't have a bunch of restriction in the line. I've got a trunk mounted 2.5 gallon water/ice tank with a single common Bosch pump mounted just below it under the trunk floor. Certainly that EMP would be a better pump, but I don't think it's a necessity.

I had intended to upgrade my pump at some point, but with my setup, the flow is significant in the tank when you look in with the lid off. I know it's not a scientific measurement of flow rate, but it would be obvious if the pump was insufficient if the return back into the tank was flowing slowly.
 
Due to the tube flex of a heater core operating at the inverted pressure of it's normal design im looking at a pressurized ic system.
It may help prevent tube cracking and the reduction in flow of the tube compressing into a figure 8 instead of a long oval....but then again im crazy
 
Hey Scotty or anyone if you have an inline resevoir mounted lower then the ic core is it impossible to bleed the system?

I was going to mount the tank probably a couple inches lower then where yours is mounted

if the pump is drawing from the bottom of the tank and the bottom of the tank is baffled to keep the inrushing fluid from aerating the suction area you'll have minimal trouble bleeding air out. Sometimes it's a lot faster if you jack up the side of the car that the core lines are on to get the air out of the core end tank dead space.
