Where to relocate radiator overflow?

I currently have a Greddy overflow bottle located in the stock airbox location:

I would like to build a cold airbox there with a large filter so need to move the overflow.

Any ideas where it can go, I don't really fancy putting it on the other side as there are a load of electrics there due to my inlet manifold moving the fuse box.

I would ideally like it where the stock SMIC was or ontop of the FMIC. Ontop of the FMIC would need a different shaped tank (long & thinner). Anyone have theirs located in these places? If so I'd appreciate directions to where you got your tank / fixings please

Leave it where it is and put the air filter where the stock side mount use to be:)

That's how I've just had it, & the filter is manky after just a couple of summer months. Oh & it fell off , was only stopped by my intercooler pipe

Tuck it down next to the rad in front of the fuse box Jay. Ive got mine there it looks quite stock really.

Thing is John, on my very spirited runs it spits a bit out, I don't want it going on any of the electricals around that area

Any space above your fmic ?

How about moving it to the right hand side as suggested, but get a longer bit of pipe so as when it does over flow/spit on your spirited runs it drips out to under the car, rather than in your engine bay??? The top cap is sealed so that it the only place it can go, down the pipe?

theres a space under the headlight, that where i put mine, you can use the holes for the active spoiler to mount... however its a pain checking the coolant as you have to take the headlight out everytime

There is Col, I'd need a different shaped tank though, longer & thinner, is there anywhere that sells generic tanks in various shapes?

Mmm yeah, I guess that would work, I'd need a different tank as the Greddy doesn't have a pipe coming off for the overflow from the tank.

That's ideally where I'd like mine Ric, any details on the tank / fixings, or did you just make a custom bracket. I don't mind it being hard to check/fillup.

it was the standard overflow tank on the supra, had 2 little L brackets which fixed to the lip of the chassis rail, however i cant remember how they fastened to the tank

Cheers Ric, I'll keep my eye's peeled for one and see how I can attach it

any updated on this buddy..

It's still in the same place Imi, I'm just going to build the cold air box around it now

this airbox that you are about to build, what material are you going to use and exactly what will it cover and how will it look like?

I have a short ram air intake at the moment with the twin stock air feeds, would like to protect the intake from hot air from the engine bay.

Probably going to do a direct copy of UK Rich's, 2mm aluminium covered with heat reflective material. Will prolly do it over the winter now when I've got nothing better to do

Thx bud

Been looking at his threads.

- where he has created a complete box. It looks fantastic and I am sure it must work too.

I've pinged him to see whether he can supply these.

Yeah that's what I'll be modelling mine off, I don't think Rich is doing them anymore though

btw: what overflow tank did you go with in the end (one that solves your spitting problem )

Same position as mine and I get ambient air temps at the turbo inlet, with no cold air box. My expansion bottle sits between the rad and the PAS pump.
