Saleen S/C's and High Air Inlet Temps

[Department Of Boost]

Today I received my Canton battery box mounted I/C reservoir. Nice looking piece. Now that I have the unit in my hands I did some measuring and determined that with the tank filled 1" from the top, the tank has 421.5 cubic inches which equates to 1.8 gallons of liquid - 960% more fluid than the stock Saleen reservoir. You'll notice this reservoir also has a relief valve incorporated into the tank.

After I welded on my tank I cleaned it out by running a bunch of water through it with my hose. Man, when that sucker is full of water its heavy!

Can't wait for spring so i can see how much my Canton battery box resivor and big upgraded heat exchanger helps!!!

Done!!

 

[tommygodfrey]

Done!!

Looks good, I just don't like the drain location. When our tank is done it will be in the stock location so the drain will be accessable

 

[tmcolegr]

you are 100% correct about the drain location - a real PITA to get to.

You could always take the petcock out they installed, put a barbed fitting and run hose somewhere low and put a drain on that to make it easier.

Looks good otherwise!

No need to apologize...I'm just being impatient. : )

Yeah, WTF is up with that drain?! If you cracked that thing open you would have coolant coming out of your rear bumper!

What do you guys have coming out for a tank? I did so much fab work on my Canton one (see pic) that I should have just done one from scratch. It would be nice to have something a bit more thought out available. I have a few friends about to "step up".

not quite...

drain has a hose attached to it so that it drains under the vehicle

Ah, a hose. How ingenious. I’m a tard sometimes.

I have the hose on mine.

Patience is running thin on this. Any new info from you guys. I will be ordering this tank and would like to know if the temps are dropping. I wanted to find out if it works better to put the tank after the heat exchanger to keep it full of cooler water rather than after the intercooler allowing it to heat soak.

beststangyet......its storming here....thunderstorms..my car is not coming out. Was snow everywhere..then alot of rain. You have NO idea how badly i want to tryout my new setup!!! I sat out most of last summer due to POS trans/convertor

 

[CandyRedGT]

I have the Canton battery box tank on my car. Went on last Dec while trans was sent out once again....

We got the basic first box it but it needs some modifications before we move forward with this but be patient it will come, you guys have waited a few years already Basically it will be the size of the Moroso or Canton 03 cobra box listed below. That all the area has room for. We have to take into consideration the AC line also.
