Suprcharger installed last week and just noticed a new box

[SONICBOOST]

I was just checking out my engine and came across this box I have never seen before. I opened it up and it had fluid in it and it had a line running to what looked like the collant tank??? Is this a new coolant box that came with the supercharger or what. I know my intercooler for my paxton is and air/air sooo I guess this is a relocation box for my engine collant. Can anybody exlpain. Pix below-thanks

Yep, it is the overflow tank that comes with the kit.

Yep that is your coolant overflow tank just relocated---but the tank itself is new.

Ah, you beat me by 1 minute.

So they just scraped to old tank and put this one in a relocated place. AHA Thats what I thought it was because it smelled like coolant... Thanks

 

[SONICBOOST]

The coolant level in it looked pretty low, does anybody know what level the coolant should be?

you have a really clean supercharger in a very dirty engine bay

 

[SONICBOOST]

The supercharger is still happy though

I agree! However, I do towel off my engine bay every once in a while, it's a good opportunity to check for loose connections, leaks, and what not. And keeps the motor relatively clean for the next person who has to work on it, be it you or someone else. I towel down mine every time I clean the air filter.

It should not be all the way full or it will overflow. How do you like the new found power? I have some friends planning a trip to Barona soon are you interested?

The power is great, a little too much power at times!!!!! How are you guys with 450+rwhp keeping it on the ground. I am breaking loose at wot in first and second. I guess it's all about throttle control? Is Barona a track? What days?

You didn't notice your coolant reservoir missing but you did notice the new reservoir and it didn't occur to you to put two and two together?

I guess I new what it was just wanted to make sure

Yes Barona has a track and it's near you at the Barona casino. For the street just take it easy, but at the track you will need some tires. Do you have 17s? You could get M&Hs or MTs either will work but some have found the M&Hs to work the best.

this is why you need to do all your own work
