Tom, as I stated before..that overflow tank needs a tube down into it, so when the car is shut off and the car cools down, it has a way to suck the fluid it previously spit into the tank back into the engine. If you don't have that recirc tube, you'll just end up filling and filling the can, and the car will then be empty.

Ok so two things that may be causing the car to seem to run hot.
a) The Coolant dump line from the turbo is coming in to the Thermo Housing right above the sensor.
b) I think the overflow tank is mounted upside down. (there are no markings on this summit catch can as to which end should be up and the overflow tank is empty but spits out coolant every time i stop.)

What do you guys think? it wasnt overheating. it was just running a bit hot at the slower speeds this time and would cool down when i cruise at higher speeds. right now i dont have a thermostat in.

The coolant drain goes where? post a picture. My old coolant drain went down to the hard line that ran along the front of the block, then to the oil filter housing.

This also. I would just go buy a new coolant overflow tank from mitsu. I think they wanted like $70 for one last time I checked though.

I might have a stock coolant overflow tank somewhere I'll go look for. Otherwise, I can make it pretty easily/modify yours tom.

LOL found out my problem with the coolant bottle. i had it attached to the top port when it should have been attached to the bottom port. here is what i have and the explaination. see post 3. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/bolt...ed-11-6-a.html Should fix the coolent spitting problem and the bottle being empty problem. :)

not sure why the other didnt work but this does.

Tom, I think I grasp what you are saying here, why don't you take a picture of how you have it hooked up so others can understand though.

here is the pic, Green Circle is the dump line from the turbo. Pink circle is where the coolant temp sensor is. The feed line is coming from the spout from the smaller main water pipe (by the throttle body)

[goodhart]

Ok, so you have the upper line going to the tank, and the lower line feeding the turbo right? Do you have a pic of the overflow?


BTW, that link showed that the stock overflow cap fits perfectly onto a gatorade bottle, thats awesome
