1gb Overflow relocation

[NeoZer0]

Does anyone have a link to a nice replacement overflow bottle? I have SBR's full race FMIC with short route piping. If you don't know it comes through the front of the car right where the stock overflow bottle is so I have to either relocate the stocker or get a new one and again find a new home for it. Has anyone been able to relocate the bottle someplace that looks professionally done?

include pics if possible please!

Here is a pic of my engine bay.

I was just searching for this same thing except on 1ga, but it looks the same.

There are two solutions. I used and still using the second one, but dont have pictures of the first one. Anyway there it is. First time, I went to the junk yard and picked up really small overflow bottle from some Nissan, with the bracket/ don't remember the model/. I installed it in the fender well in front of the tire/ where the FMIC used to be. It worked well, but didn't like it too much, cause couldn't see the level every time, especially in th hot days. I even had the stock sensor for coolant level replaced and glued it to the Nissan bottle. So I scrapped it and bought new one, here it is.

Oops, my bad. Here it is:
With this one, there is no need to relocate, it just comes over the IC pipe. It is CSR brand and I bought it from local shop, but you can get it from Summit. It is like $ 45. Originally comes with barb fittings, so you could use reg. hoses.

Nice Andy4g63, might have to replace my stock one for that overflow bottle you have. Mine sprung a leak and i got some marine grade epoxy on the bottom of it and it looks kind of crappy IMO. Thanx for posting that up thats a good idea.

The one that Bento posted, it is good too, but for most people it wouldn't work, causeof the INTAKE pipe and IC piping, going straight up, not from the SMIC location.

If you don't want to waste money then just relocate your oem overflow bottle like andy said to where your old sidemount used to be and buy a new longer hose.

like it was stated. either relocate you stock one or buy a aftermarket one( from parts store or something) and mount it. i personally took the second route, much easier.
