New design



Hey y'all - with the popularity of the Figs aluminum resi and the general dislike for the cheap Trd/Magnusson ones that constantly leak all over the place- there seems to be an interest/need for something in between.
I'm 99% sure I'll able to do these for round 2 at $275 (round 1 was $265) cost is up with material cost

• Factory location
• Increased capacity (approximately 32% increase)
• Reuse factory hardware and bracket
• Comes with overflo barb (easily capped) run 2 won't have
• 1.1 bar radiator cap included (15psi) run 2- 2" metal oil cap like the Figgs unit
• Made from 6061 aluminum which acts as an additional heat sink to cool the fluid (tank sits in a cooler part of the engine bay)

Each tank is individually pressure tested to 20 psi to ensure they are leak free when you get them. Tank comes unpainted

 

Oh hey Kel, I’m out.....I have a figgs. I just liked the fact that someone was taking the time to build one.

 

You have my attention

 

Radiator cap, overflo option either 4" or 5" body.

 

You could sell the Figgs, buy this one, and put the savings back into your budget...

 

Interested. Would love to get rid of the leaking coolant thats gets all over my engine bay.

 

Well that's 5 so far including myself. Not a bad start. I'll be pressure testing each unit too. Can't have any faulty products leave my shop.

 

I know this would complicate design and what not, and it would probably be something that I would just have to custom fab up but do you think it's possible we could get these made with a tray for an extra fuse box? I have wanted to run one and I notice most people mount their's where the stock tank is.

 

I’m in...

 

I might be able to do a modified one off for ya. I'd have to look into it

 

I'm in.

 

Glad to have ya buddy. I'll be on vacation next week but after that I'll get started on this endeavor. Seems to have enough interest even though its sight unseen at this point.

 

That sounds great.

I need to get a set of gears from you as well....

 

what dimensions did you plan for these to be?

 

Slightly larger than factory. Accommodating accordingly if group decides differently

 

Well I'm back from vacation and putting some work into this.

Looks like factory supercharger uses 3/4" hoses and the 3 bolts that mount it are m6.
So 3/4" weld in barbed hose fittings X2 (inlet/outlet)
M6 x either 1.00 pitch or 1.25 pitch. Need to check still or might just include 3 matching bolts
A weld in radiator filler neck + cap. Found a nice one with a 1.1 bar(15psi) cap and includes an option for a overflow tank or it could be capped.

Factory plastic tank measures (not counting the cap) 4" - 4 1/8" tall and 3.5" wide or ~40"³ of coolant capacity
Height and width has room to be stretched some so lets say 4 1/4" tall (plus cap) and 4" wide or ~53"³ capacity A 32.5% INCREASE in size

I realize that isn't actual capacity as material thickness isn't taken into account but its approximate with approximate increase in capacity.

Any feedback on this from those interested is appreciated. Currently working on the CAD parts to mate them all together.

 

I wouldn’t mind it being slightly large, but I also don’t have an interest in having a massive hunk there either. That small increase you mentioned seems plenty reasonable to me!

 

Thats one for the nice increase in size without the need for modifications. Any one else care to weigh in?

 

Not 100% yet, but how about a finned body like a metal oil filter housing? It may not help cooking at all though since it is stuck inside the hot engine bay. Could mount it up front by the radiator.

 

I don't see how to accomplish this without decreasing size of the tank or relocating it as you mentioned. I certainly couldn't do it without increasing the cost.

I'll ordered the small stuff tonight. Enough for 2 test tanks. radiator caps / barbed fittings etc.
