jevansio Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I currently have a Greddy overflow bottle located in the stock airbox location: I would like to build a cold airbox there with a large filter so need to move the overflow. Any ideas where it can go, I don't really fancy putting it on the other side as there are a load of electrics there due to my inlet manifold moving the fuse box. I would ideally like it where the stock SMIC was or ontop of the FMIC. Ontop of the FMIC would need a different shaped tank (long & thinner). Anyone have theirs located in these places? If so I'd appreciate directions to where you got your tank / fixings please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Leave it where it is and put the air filter where the stock side mount use to be:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted July 5, 2008 Author Share Posted July 5, 2008 Leave it where it is and put the air filter where the stock side mount use to be:) That's how I've just had it, & the filter is manky after just a couple of summer months. Oh & it fell off , was only stopped by my intercooler pipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Tuck it down next to the rad in front of the fuse box Jay. Ive got mine there it looks quite stock really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is John, on my very spirited runs it spits a bit out, I don't want it going on any of the electricals around that area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Any space above your fmic ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprattgaz Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 How about moving it to the right hand side as suggested, but get a longer bit of pipe so as when it does over flow/spit on your spirited runs it drips out to under the car, rather than in your engine bay??? The top cap is sealed so that it the only place it can go, down the pipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 theres a space under the headlight, that where i put mine, you can use the holes for the active spoiler to mount... however its a pain checking the coolant as you have to take the headlight out everytime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 Any space above your fmic ? There is Col, I'd need a different shaped tank though, longer & thinner, is there anywhere that sells generic tanks in various shapes? How about moving it to the right hand side as suggested, but get a longer bit of pipe so as when it does over flow/spit on your spirited runs it drips out to under the car, rather than in your engine bay??? The top cap is sealed so that it the only place it can go, down the pipe? Mmm yeah, I guess that would work, I'd need a different tank as the Greddy doesn't have a pipe coming off for the overflow from the tank. theres a space under the headlight, that where i put mine, you can use the holes for the active spoiler to mount... however its a pain checking the coolant as you have to take the headlight out everytime That's ideally where I'd like mine Ric, any details on the tank / fixings, or did you just make a custom bracket. I don't mind it being hard to check/fillup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 it was the standard overflow tank on the supra, had 2 little L brackets which fixed to the lip of the chassis rail, however i cant remember how they fastened to the tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 It's still in the same place Imi, I'm just going to build the cold air box around it now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 this airbox that you are about to build, what material are you going to use and exactly what will it cover and how will it look like? I have a short ram air intake at the moment with the twin stock air feeds, would like to protect the intake from hot air from the engine bay.

jevansio Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 Probably going to do a direct copy of UK Rich's, 2mm aluminium covered with heat reflective material. Will prolly do it over the winter now when I've got nothing better to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Thx bud Been looking at his threads. This http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=83928&highlight=AIR - where he has created a complete box. It looks fantastic and I am sure it must work too. I've pinged him to see whether he can supply these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 Yeah that's what I'll be modelling mine off, I don't think Rich is doing them anymore though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 btw: what overflow tank did you go with in the end (one that solves your spitting problem ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Tuck it down next to the rad in front of the fuse box Jay. Ive got mine there it looks quite stock really. Same position as mine and I get ambient air temps at the turbo inlet, with no cold air box. My expansion bottle sits between the rad and the PAS pump.
