Nice man!! Had resealable rock star to start

Thats funny with the rockstar can because i use to have it too

I use a Jaz 1-quart recovery can. It's cheap and functional, and doesn't look terrible in the engine bay.

Deluxe Coolant Overflow - JM Fabrications

I had my fabricator make me a bracket so it would clear my intercooler pipes and radiator and sit in the stock location. If you need more pictures of the bracket let me know. This one works just like the stock can so the coolant can be drawn back out and not just pushed in.

I use pretty much the same one on all my cars. They are Ss botto
Feed bottom dump. Get them at back to the 50s car show each year for under 30. Bucks

I need a coolant res. badly! Thats the only reason my car overheats. That cheap vatozone crap doesn't work! All the coolant that gets spit out doesn't get sucked back in.

Strange thing is, my friend who is out of town right now has a stock looking res. using the VSRF Front Mount, which I have also. Its like a shorter version of the stock 2g can. I was going to get pictures before he left but camera was dead.

I need something cheap that works.

When you hooked line from filler to res did you do it to the top nipple or bottom :screwy:...mine from AUTOZONE worked fine..just hated look

Well the one I have is that box looking one, it has a nipple that goes to the bottom of the tank and another one that goes to the top. But I've filled it and all of that. All it does is spit out the coolant into the res, which overflows in the res. Then doesn't suck anything back up. Which leaves me overheating.

The DSM style res has one nipple going into the top of the bottle with a hose going to the bottom. The Autozone doesn't. Just has a nipple on the top and on the bottom. Top is for overflow. Bottom is supposed to go to the filler. And its also a brand new radiator cap.

So your hose is going from bottom nipple to filler...thats the right way...idk why its not working for you

 

[InfiniteGSX]

Yep, never worked from day one. Just catches the spit out coolant, and the car doesn't suck it back up. The stock one goes against the gravity. So IDK. Just Pisses me off cause the car will run fine for a day and then I cannot let it sit and idle cause it will start to over heat, I drive it to cool it down and when its back to normal temp, pull into a gas station, let it cool down enough to open the cap and there is no coolant. And I always burp it till its packed full in the engine/radiator. Maybe I need a different cap. IDK, Either way I wanna make one of these nice DIY resovoirs. Was at the gas station today looking at vodka bottles hehe.
