Is there a pickup tube running to the back wall?

Hopefully it's not a remake of the ftp tank. VRP seems to be on the ball the last year or so,so I assume this tank has good circulation.

Their half moon trunk tank that fits in the spare compartment looks pretty sweet.

I'm not even asking for myself, just trying to avoid another round of "How come my IAT's are so high under acceleration?" posts.

The tank should be built with a metal line welded in

If yours didn't come with one some have added a hose and it worked

Thanks to this forum and the members who contributed to find out the issue with the FTP style pickup, weve added a pickup tube to the back of the tank. But we may consider moving the fitting to the back of the tank altogether.

VRP as long as the pick up line is welded in this will work fine

RBM if you already have a meat xchanger you are ready to go, if going with a kc eliminate the heat xchanger

1” aluminum tube with a 1/2” NPT thread. If you look at the pictures on their site you can see how far back it runs.

Split your intercooler system from the engine coolant system with our Under Hood tank for a significant reduction in intake temps!

phew thanks for the update
is that the same for sl55 underhood tank?
says 2 gallon but should be 2 liter?

also isit okay for the water in the tank to submerge the water coming in from the top inlet hose? Or should the water coming in be free and drop ontop of the tank water

Of course! Yes, same for the SL55 under hood tank.
It would be fine for the upper return line to have the coolant filled up to it, because the force of the pump would not allow for the coolant to back track through the system

lovely thank you
am i right in saying with the sl55 hood tank
its still basically same process of the split cooling? So remove H connector
join the top 2 hoses
then connect the bottom 2 hoses with a T then from the top of the T run a hose to the outlet bottom of tank and then the top inlet hose to pump?
or isit a different set up
