Compounds coolant reservoir?

[mike diesel]

I'm in the process of gathering parts for my compounds build and have a majority of the parts ordered.

Curious what coolant reservoirs people are using? I'd like one that takes up as little space as possible. Trying to keep the passenger side of engine bay as un-cluttered as I can.

Pics and links would be great.

IIRC a 1997 chevy cavalier coolant ranks is what most use. Year may be wrong though lol. I run the PPE style tank.

I found some nice small coolant reservoirs on summit racing, they are pretty cost effective and look very clean

Late 90s and newer cavalier are easy to use and can be had cheap. Mine is in my avatar. The custom ones are nicer because of the proper hose size and less overall space.

We built one that snaps perfectly into the passenger side battery tray. I know you've got the skills to build your own. :thumb:

This is a wherli tank. I like the size. The new ones may have a sensor in them but mine does not

I've used this tank on a couple of trucks. No sensor, but it's nice and small. Price is pretty decent too.

I got this one from HSP. They installed a sight tube and a low coolant sensor for me.

That's what I'm looking for. It looks perfect. I gutted that side of the engine bay and am holding the turbo there. Looks like I have a good bit more room than I was expecting.

only problem with fabbed my own is that I can't weld aluminum. If a steel tank is no problem then I can do that.

That just means it's time to buy a TIG!

The only money left in the budget is what's left to finish the compounds....with the tools/welder I already have:roflmao:

Start asking for early Christmas presents :roflmao:

Wherli's is aluminum.

Well with any luck, the week after next, I'll be able to start fabbing up the compounds. Only thing left to figure out is the coolant tank.

What turbos are you using?

 

[PACougar]

He's using his s472 and a 88mm Turbonetics unit he had built.

 

[moparkxracer]

That will be a fun setup.

 

[mike diesel]

Here's the turbo

Specs are:
HPC 88mm billet wheel
F1 101/112mm turbine
T6 1.23 housing
Ball bearing
