Coolant tank / overflow relocation ideas

[8769bigred]

I’m going to need to relocate my coolant over flow for my upcoming turbo kit install.

I was looking at the CDD one but it seems small and has no sight glass or way to see the level. I was reading that 8 gallons of coolant will expand by about 2 quarts. A 4 quart expansion tank would make the most sense to account for any other variance.

If any one has any experience with running the smaller CDD or has come up with a custom set up let me know!

I run the CDD one, and it expands the full volume of it, so when cold there's maybe a 1/4" of fluid at the bottom. I made little L brackets and bolted it to the fan shroud on the drivers side. I can take a picture of it this evening if you like. I've had it on there for a few years now.

I'd like to see that overflow tank. I've never considered that the overflow tank has to be moved with a turbo install, but it makes sense.

A++ for CDD. I've bought parts from them before. Their injector nozzles were great in my 6.9l. They're at the top of my list to eventually install a turbo and head studs on my ol' IDI.

I have their turbo and intercooler kit, the reason for the move is because the air filter ends up where the overflow and washer bottle goes.

Awesome! Is that a Mishimoto radiator?

Champion 3 core. They were out of stock of the 4 core at the time. Putting the foam around the shroud made a significant difference.
