I don't know a lot about this stuff, but its small, "lightweight" , cheap, and recirculating? Anyone see something I don't?

the stock unit doesnt recirculate...and its vented. you are aware of this?

Magnet

iTrader: (36)

No actually... so what does this mean? I know I have found plenty of threads with people running similar overflows but I'm pretty unsure of exactly how to work it..

The stock reservoir does recirculate and if you look at the picture on the link he posted that can is also vented. There are holes drilled around the top where the hose connects. That jug should work fine.

UMM what is the purpose, Stock one does fine. Any benefits?

The stock one is heavier than it appears, and I hope to lose 4-5lbs off the nose

PS I am one of those weight hungry types.. every pound counts!

monster81

so the hose goes from the radiator to the top inlet of the can i guess, but what about the bottom outlet..where does this go?? the stock reservoir only has one inlet !

Well that would be worth it 4-5 pounds isnt bad for 20 bucks.

Hook the line from the radiator to the bottom of the can, that way it will suck the fluid back into the radiator as the coolant cools off, the top of the can, run a hose the length of the car and let it dump behind the rear tires, preferrably in the centerish of the car under the bumper cover, so if you ever do push any coolant during a track pass it will not hit the tires and cause you to lose it on the top end. I have a non-recirculating type I ran for a while, but I used to just run the radiator a touch low so under normal conditions nothing other then a drop or 2 would get into the overflow... and if more then that got there, then that was a way I knew I had a problem (pushing water)

Never did see any amount get into the can, unless I topped the radiator off. As a general rule, I wouldn't do it this way, I'd hook it up so it will recirculate, and just make sure the overflow hose, is routed to a safe location should it ever happen.

Please post pictures when your done. I might want to do this. 5 pounds for 20 bucks is pretty good. Plus it'll clean up the engine bay a little. thnx

How did you hook yours up if you don't mind... which hose to which nipple?

I hated filling mine through the 3/8 hole on the top,also It's a pain to see how much you have got in there so I drilled and taped the two fittings it came with with a 1/8 npt tap and ran two hose barbs and a clear line from the top to bottom so now it has a sight glass.
