DannoSupra Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 As above Ive just fitted the fmic ono the supra, what do you guys do with the Coolant Expansion Tank? I've taken it off for now, and just let the over flow pipe drain off under the front bumper Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 You need to get a tank fitted of some sort because the rad sucks coolant back into the rad from the expansion tank as it cools. Either relocate the existing one or get a smaller one from a Corolla or somesuch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class One Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Kept mine in the stock position. But you need a sealed expansion tank as the system is closed otherwise you run the risk of loosing coolant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 You can use the existing bottle but, it has to be moved out of sight...see the link below and then scroll down.....OR buy, a smaller one and slide it next to the battery. http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/hks_ic/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
