Its a very expensive flask!

Jk

It is mounted in the trunk to expand the amount of cooler coolant for the HE/SC. pretty much it makes the car recover and run like say a 60 degree day in 90 degree heat. It will also make recovery time less and keep air intake temps down for runs. Keeps the car less prone to heat soak..

That's an upgraded version with the fittings already attached. I just spent 1.5 hrs between Napa, Home Depot & Ace Hardware finding all of the necessary fittings. You are right about the quality of the tank it's top notch

Thanks again to the "Go To Man"

I learned quickly how expensive fitting can be so on the new design i asked the fabricator to to weld on the 90 degree inlet and outlets so people wont have to spend additional on fitting.

Its a 3.5 gallon tank with about a gallon in the lines so a total of 4.5 gallons. It does require a rule 2000 bilge pump. I believe (you can see in the pic) where the mounting bracket is.

Interesting. I would like to see pics of it mounted with the lines in place. Seems like an awful long way to pump the coolant. But I suppose that long distance allows it to cool down more.

The internal bilge pump pushes the water up to the meziere wp136s through the heat exchanger to the IC then out back to the tank.

That's what being a middle man is all about. That maybe true about the pricing but shardul has to put up with all my BS questions and instructions on how to hook up. Bottom line, I would have paid more for the quality and service that he has presented. It's hard to put a price on personal service.

T!! Its pretty much a must for controlling the AITs. There has to be numbers floating around here somewhere but youknow how threads get tied up with lotus's and such. There is an internal bilge pump that is required to push back to the s/c. I just got one for the price above.

Shardul's service makes it worth it, I haven't even bought my tank yet but he relentlessly answers all of my stupid questions.
