black_widow87 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Does anyone know if the stock expansion bottle can be located anywhere other than its stock position as iv got a front mount intercooler fitted? CHEERS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 It's a bit of a big old beast so there isn't anywhere easy to fit it. It needs to be around the same height as the stock one so your option are, erm, limited to say the least It's much easier to get a smaller expansion bottle off another Toyota (or almost any Jap car) from your local scrap yard and mount it just to the side or infront of the battery. Just take your expansion bottle cap along and see what you can find that fits I recall someone mentioning that one from a Corolla fits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 (edited) I have a Civic one on my car, you also dont need to get the new tank to fit your old tanks cap using this one. I had to trim down the battery tray and made a bracket for the tank to fit onto, also painted it black as they are white Mine used to be under the headlight, HKS supply a relocation bracket with R spec FMIC Edited December 14, 2010 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
