S/C guys, what did you do with your overflow tank? need help quick please

fastf50rd · Jun 4, 2004

I have a Paxton SN93, and my rad. overflow bottle won't fit behind the double crank pulley, or the s/c belt tensioner. Any suggestions on how, or where to re-locate? If i do move it, what do i do with my CCRM. Should i get a universal catch can from jegs or summit? Any suggestions would help alot. thanks guys

Oh yeah, does the BOV have to shoot back into the intake tube? Should i just let it off into the engine bay?

With my Vortech, I just cut a couple inches off the bracket, drilled new wholes, and shifted it towards the front opening a few inches.

post some pics of where you cut the bracket.

thanks,

No pics of the actual cutting, but if you look at the opening area of the bracket closely in the 2 pics, you see the difference in size.

You don't have to cut the bracket. You turn the existing bracket mounting holes into ovals (not very much). This way you can slide the top of the bracket back and forth. Tighten where you want it. It takes about 2 minutes compared to pulling, cutting, redrilling, etc.

i would up just leaving the level signal out and using the stock cap for the wiper fluid tank so it seals better.

You may or MAY NOT be able to get away with this. If you make it so it slides, and you have to slide it too much for clearance, then the front end will not clear. Remember Joe, M.S. did not even the bracket. The tensioner pulley was lowered enough (Used belt) that it did not bump. When I went to put the new belt on, the tensioner was lifted such that it bumped that bracket....that's when we had to cut it.

Snoozer
That looks sweet!
Where are you running the hose to the overflow? Are you running it to the bottom of the resivoir where the washer fluid hose used to go? Did you have to cut the low coolant sensor wire that goes into the overflow tank to make it fit into the washer resivoir? I would love to try this, more info please.
BTW: Where in the hell is your ABS equipment relocated to?

95snoozer · Jun 5, 2004

it runs to the bottm of the tank

I qm running no coolant sensor. when unplugged, it throws no light.

and its a gts, no abs

I did dremel out taht screne at the top of the fluid tank so i can see into it.

95snoozer · Jun 5, 2004

but if you want to run a sensor... it slides right in there with a little twist and slight curve of the tube.

Have you ever had any overflowage problems and have you ever had your car teched that way at the track w/o problems?

95snoozer · Jun 6, 2004

has never overflowed...

i use the white cap.

they see the overflow line "going to a catch can in the fender"

i mean it IS a catch can and does not leak. nothing illegal abbout it.

NO ABS

That's where FORD really pisses me off sometimes....If they want to remove the spoiler, fog lights, and power windows, and use cloth only interior to make a lower cost model with the same power..that's fine!....but to NOT put ABS in the car and sacrifice safety....

I guess they had a hard time giving up the foxes completely

JR,
What's the big deal if you have already gotten yours to fit?

fastf50rd · Jun 6, 2004

94TURBO5 O · Jun 6, 2004

I want to be able to see more bling from the front
I don't need washer fluid.
