Updated w/fix! Supercharger coolant leak on the reservoir

There is a few larger tank options available.. they are not cheap though. Would be cheaper to spray alcohol to cool everything down in my opinion.

 

Spray alcohol? Do tell. I did quit drinking to buy this truck

Its a little old school site but you can click the links on the far left and hes got a few pages with info about it and how to do it. If you’d rather get a kit all packaged up for you look up snow performance.

 

I have heard of snow performance. Any idea what benifit can be expected? Or potential consequences?

 

Benefit is it will cool the air going into your motor, help prevent pre detonation, help seal rotors when boosting, and should give more power if properly tuned. As far as tuning goes look up ovtune on here. He can tune for it I’m sure but he’s very busy right now

 

Thanks. Bought a 2015 n/a Tacoma this summer. Sadly totalled it. When shopping for tuners I was disappointed in seeing nothing but that garbage jet chip. Until I found TW. Do you think ovtune is the best thing going or should I save my bucks for the ucon?

 

I may be a little biased as I am currently ovtuned but I would go the ovtune route. It depends on what you want to do. With ucon you can do stuff like a 7th injector and it will control it. Ovtune is just tuning the stock ecu, so it cant control another gas injector since the stock ecu doesn’t have that ability. Ultimately you have to figure out what mods are you planning on doing?

 

Found this, a bit pricey but it would do the trick.

I've been eyeballing this as a less expensive option but haven't tried it yet.

Thanks. I'll look in to it.

 

I have one of these sitting on my shelf waiting to install it. Supposedly holds 2 qts. It will go roughly in the same spot as the TRD reservoir.

 

2 qts > original size, correct? (I'm guessing the original is only about 1 qt?)

Cool, let me know how it goes. One of my concerns on some other options was the size of the inlets as I didn't want to reduce flow. Do these openings look large enough to match or exceed size on the original plastic unit once fittings are on there??

 

Anyone find an aftermarket solution? My coolant is leaking from the reservoir pretty bad (from the line that goes from supercharger to reservoir).

 

A second hose clamp fixed my leak - cheap and easy

 

Likewise, and I spread some soft gasket maker around the edge of the hose too

 

What’s the best coolant to run in your s/c intercooler resivor?

 

To those with garages, be thankful. I am attempting this fix right now out in the street in 24 degrees.

my reservoir doesn’t look cracked, so I’m hoping this will fix my issues with the lower.

mas for the upper, it is leaking a little bit as well as shown by the crusty coolant there.

 

Seems to be holding so far! I’ll keep an eye on it for the next week and update here either way.

 

Well, there was a puddle of coolant a few days ago after the truck had been parked overnight after a drive the morning before.

Seems as though I was being overly cautious with the clamps on the brass coupler as if it were the fragile plastic reservoir. I have since cranked down much harder at the coupler... No leaks yet as of 3 days of not driving.

You can see a drip of coolant at the bottom of the coupler/hoses between the clamps:
