BDHG940 Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Im getting ready to start a 4.6 custom turbo build and its going to be so much easier if I just find a smaller coolant tank than the large plastic one placed in the middle of the engine bay. I know this one is small but I think it would serve the same function. Anyone have any ideas? Its from the 03-4 cobra's for the supercharger I guess http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/03-04-Mustang-Cobra-Supercharger-Expansion-Tank_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33741QQihZ006QQitemZ160250196623QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hal Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 If you want to go that route, I would get the reservoir from LightningForcePerformance.com The workmanship is something I would trust a lot more than something from ebay. My only worry would be the efficiency of the smaller unit, I think it would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hal Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Chad, I would try it. I don't see a problem with the efficiency from what I know about our cars. I would put it together and run it through some hard driving and heat cycles. I'm about 95% sure it will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 all it is is a pressurized overflow tank it does not affect the way the radiator works use the small tank with a cap that has the same pressure rating as your current one and you should be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 shoot me a pm with a price on your 5.0 turbo kit too when you get time thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only concern was with the lower volume of fluid to move. I think it would be fine though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDHG940 Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Exactly. My only concern was with the lower volume of fluid to move. I think it would be fine though. thats exactly what I was thinking but I guess Ill go ahead and order the thing and see what happens. I dont know what Im goign to do with the cobra setups though. The cobra has a sensor in the tank and for some reason this gt doesnt. Guess Ill worry about that when I get to that point. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 its for the low coolant light leave it unplugged and the light will never come on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDHG940 Posted June 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 its for the low coolant light leave it unplugged and the light will never come on I am going to have to try that tomorrow, my light has been on for maybe 2 years. I dont know why else it would be on besides for just a bad sensor but I tried to replace it at one time and it still remained on. I guess its worth a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
