I am making a custom header tank for my fiesta cosworth 4x4 but as my layout is different and I do not run any heater etc I want to change we're the coolant hoses run,
I am placing the header tank in the passenger wheel arch nicely out of the way and for the main feed to the water system to the tank I was going to connect into where the fan switch normally goes as fans will be Ecu controlled,
Fan switch position in pro alloy radiator
In the pic below is the original connection from the water pump that goes straight back to the header tank, could I just block this one off?
Can anybody tell me any issues with this?
To release air back to the header tank I will be adding a swirl pot with top outlet back to header tank as well
Thanks
Marc
The small out let of the water pump needs to be connected to the small connection on the back of the head, original feed from header tank go's in to the bottom hose so cant imagine feeding it into the opposite side of the rad would make any odds, also need to mount the header tank higher than any other part of the water system.
