end tanks help

[NO_RSPECT]

Is there much of a difference having the end tanks on the top and bottom as opposed to the left and right of the cooler.

i have seen a few of these top and bottom ones and the inlet is on the left up top and outlet is on the right down the bottom and the piping is all fairly similar etc.

so whats the verdict??

I terms of performance then there won't be much difference, if it simplifies plumbing then do it. I prefer mine on the side, cause that's how most people do it, but top to bottom will still work.

depends where the pipe works gonna go

if u use the stock pipes inside the engine bay and new one on the cooler, top and bottom end tanks would be a better option, less pipe so cheaper and no need for the 90 degree bend which will reduce the flow alittle.

The idea is to reduce pipe length thus improving throttle response some what.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

I'd be more concerned with reducing restrictions than actual pipe length. Pressure drop is more a concern that a tiny bit of lag.

interesting theories, Well i am not sure on the piping yet, cos it will arrive by thursday so then i can post up pics of it. Or better yet i will just install it. and then I can install the bleed valve also, yay

so if this cooler is half decent does that mean I can run 12psi now

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Yeah, with a decent cooler 12psi will be fine, but remember the factory computer will dump alot more fuel in, so it won't always go great.

I have photo's of the cooler fitted to my car and I'll post them when I get home. So my cooler is finally on. The unit uses the stock pipes in the engine bay (I will get some nicer looking/better ones made up and use greddy silicon hose joiners) and has the end tank returning underneath the cooler. Looking forward to the drive home from work tonight *grin* Anyone want a stock cooler?
