Default Focus RS - Swirl Pot?

Hi everyone,

Just a quick thing, has anyone fitted a swirl pot to the MK1 FRS?
If it is possible where do you run the pipes from and too?

Hope someone knows as i have not seen one run on them yet!

Cheers Macca

If doing this your best bet would be a pro alloy header tank and swirl pot. Fit the swirl pot to the top hose and then a nice aeroquip hose from the top of the swirl to the header tank. Pro alloy will add a extra connection to the header tank.

ive never run a water swirl pot on any car. but the advantages are it eliminates ANY trace of air that can build in the system,
i juts stick to low temp stat and take ya time bleeding it up. never had a problem


fuel swirl pot, it eliminates any chance of fuel surge
i have got an uprated intank pump feeding my swirl pot into the top, i the have 2X bosch 044 pump feeding from the swirl pot to the fuel rails, then the return comes back to the top of the swirl pot and then another return from swirl pot back to tank,

note i run 8 injectors and 2 fuel rails, that is the reason for the 2x 044 pumps
