Ice Box In the Trunk

330CubeGt · August 10th, 2009, 08:50 PM

As of Right now i have the Moroso Aluminum Super Charger Coolant Tank It Holds 3.5 Quarts (Just under a Gallon)

I Have a Black Plastic 5 Gallon Fuel Cell i got for Free, its kind of a od shape but looks to fit on the Drivers side of the trunk behind the Shock tower Pretty nicely Like where the Battery is on the Pass Side.

My Question is would it be at all beneficial for me to run that large of a coolant tank or any tank for that matter and the Extra Hose needed to install it in the Trunk.I have seen setups like that but not that large of a tank.I just figured it would help clean up under the hood and at the same time help with Temps,But 5 Gal Sounds like a Bit much.Let me know what everyone thinks,

It will work just fine. You don't have to top it off. I am about to install a 3 gallon in the trunk of my car.

LoL, Well i might consider doing it then its not on the to do list but once its running and all the bugs if any are out of it i might try it out,Might keep an eye out on ebay tho for a slightly smaller one but who knows.

Had thoughts of putting the one i have now in the trunk just because it will fit in a Battery Box with some work, and when you open the trunk it would just look like i had Dual Batterys What do you guys think about that? Or is it not worth it

Also Been thinking of getting another stock 03/04 cobra heat exchanger and stacking them Cuz i dont think i can afford a Afco or any other name brand.
