Default What expansion tanks with rotated setup and rotated manifold


Is anyone running a standard header tank in the standard position whilst running a rotated turbo and rotated manifold? I’m sure I’ve seen someone that has done but I can’t seem to find it. Currently I have it mounted on the middle of the manifold at the back but the cap is accessible through the scoop and it just looks a mess.

Im after some examples please.

I did look at the killer bee ones but they are ridiculous price for what they are.

That's a nice looking bay. I did think of up there last time but my metal tank is too big I think.

Relocate your wiper washer to boot or something and mount it there?

never thought of that. I might have to stop being tight and just buy the killer bee one.

thanks. I did think of up there but looking to keep the pipework to a minimum. As you say it doesn’t look very neat so trying to tidy bits up as I go.

I built my own twin header tank set up they are proper swirl tanks, they allow the system to self bleed when filing I just pour in one tank and that's it no mucking about trying to bleed.

Also mounted to the strut brace
