Whats the difference between the 2 header tanks!?

saff!

 

dunno but there different

 

water return spout location and bore

you have a 2wd bailey one on your new saph

 

4x4 has two returns

You can fit a 4x4 one to a 2wd car by blanking of the top one and using a 4x4 hose for the bottom

Alex has done this on his

 

2wd has level sensor between inlet and out let tubes
also 2wd is unavailable...4wd has no level sensor
cheeRS

 

well basically i wanna uuder bonnet ot look standard as poss whihc means i wanna get rid of that baily tank Matt!

But the car runs a swirl pot whihc i will keep cause it serves a purpose! but obviously u need a 2md port for this!

spo if i used a 4wd tank i should b able to do so yes!?

& Lee do i just need to change the water hose!? or can u just get a stepper!? any1 know the ID of both pipes!?

 

standard? but why

 

Because he is pissed off cleaning shiny bits

 

dude you gotta have the bling

 

cause shinny is

 

you cant run a std header tank and swirl pot

as you need 3 connection on header tank to do so.

 

od of 2wd water return spout is 7.88mm

od af 4*4 water return spout is 21.4mm

figures courtesy of dear old uncle tony

you'll have to get a 4*4 tank (only about Ł20 from ford) and then a T piece fitting kit and plumb into the existing water return from the turbo if you want to keep the swirl pot

theres been some class arguments about this being the wrong thing to do

ive run mine with and without a swirl pot and it makes no odds to anything as far as i can tell

 

Tone!

U got a 4wd tank & hose instock!? or even just the hose for now so I can measure it up!

 

or you could always just use the figures ive supplied

 

No, the Standard plastic 4x4 Header tank comes with only 2 'tubes.'

A lower one to supply the water and the higher one for the return.

It doesn't have a return for the swirl pot. You will also find that if you are running any more power than standard they will start to crack really easilly, and you risk it splitting

However i you could put a T peice into the return and keep your swirl pot, just a thought coz i've never seen it done?

 

the 4wd hose is 45 quid

 

I've got to learn to type faster!

 

hhhmmm

so mayb loose the swirl pot all together then!?

if the 4wd tank has 2 outlets on top then surelty I dont have to t piece in2 it?

i think i need to look @ oth a 2wd & 4wd setup so i fully understand!

Will have a chat wiht Karl about swirl pot c what he says!

As if i buy timmys car this sat next sat its @ cars for a new chip & proper setup! let the spendin begin!

 

I bought a 4wd header tank for mine and blocked off the bottom feed,
then bought two aero quip fittings and screwed and aradlited the into the top
where the usual feed goes on the 2wd tank, Works really well !....

Al......

 

using a t peice really isnt a good idea, as the temp of water coming from turbo it fooking hot


either use std header tank an NO swirl pot or keep the bailey tank

 

please dont take this as a dig.

but cant u gaurantee there is no air loos through the connections???

as it need to be air tight connections

 

MR COSSIE 4X4,

thats the info i was after! so neither 4wd or 2wd tnaks have 2 returns! so basically its keep the bailey tank loose the swirl pot or t piece in!

cheers all!

any1 wanna buy a swirl pot!?

 

you reckon. tidys it all up under there

 

Showing stock mate

 

2wd header tank



4wd header tank

 

Or you could fook the cooling to the turbo off and use the top inlet on a std 2wd header tank for the swirl pot!

 

thats another option spadge man! but then thats not 3 good for the turbo is it!? T34!

spiky cheers m8 now i know where i am!

 

Why?

 

as a track car, spadge i'd aggree, but as a road car i think it would be best ot have the water cooling

due to the amount of miles it will do.

 

T Peice is fine mate....i use one, i did have a alloy one made up though

So i use a standard 2wd header with metal T Peice

 

well aint the turbo designed to be water cooled!?

this is a total road car!

 

 

Lewis and Spiky
Most engine builders/tuners recomend that you remove the water cooling from the turbo on tuned engines so if its ok on them then why not on a road car?
I havn't had water cooling on any of my engines since i bought the car 18 months ago and have had no problems!
Anyway its up to you its your car

 

furry muff spadge man!

I shall have a word with my tuner & c what he says on the situation! either way the header tank is goin!

 

Yep i made sure they were sealed properly........ .. otherwise it would have been chucked in the bin..

Al...

 

Aint got it yet scotty!

Lookin @ Timmy's this sat!

 

nice one al

do one for lewi ten

 

theres a difference in the bearing housings between water cooled and oil cooled turbo's

do not remove it unless you really do know better than turbotechnics
