msupra1 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 My JDM Supra had the small terminal post battery with factory radiator overflow tank put in front of it, ever since I upgraded the terminals to standard size and got a bit larger battery, I have been running a water bottle for my radiator overflow... which I have to empty out every few drives. I'm trying to figure out an overflow tank that will fit beside the battery. Any suggestions for any that at compact and smaller? The key thing Is it can't be much taller than 6" if I want to place It beside the battery, otherwise it may hit the hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 The expansion tank is exactly what it says on the tin. What comes out, needs to go back in. If your Supra is a T.T, you will find that the smaller N/A expansion tank may be your answer? If not, SRD supply a shiny aluminium one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) I used one from a Honda Civic You shouldn't have to keep emptying the expansion tank if the system is working correctly Edited April 24, 2015 by Dnk (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I used one from a Honda Civic Where's the filler neck for your washer jets gone? I also fitted a civic one, which fits neatly, though I had to cut a small section of the lip of the battery tray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd taken it off in that previous photo so i could paint it black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msupra1 Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Thanks for the photos! It looks like I'll go with the Civic overflow. I did a search and found the part numbers. I don't mind cutting the battery tray to get it fit. I noticed yours is black. Was that painted? seems like they come in the yellow'ish plastic material. edit: I noticed your windshield washer fluid tank.. that's black. I guess it was just painted.
