Default 4X4 Header tank plumbing and tank type.

Anyone help please?

I'm changing over to full 4X4 cooling system but I want to run a turbo cooler and a swirlpot also. I have the water pump, thermostat and thermostat housing (front and back).

The spec-r one seems to have 2 big outlets and 1 small outlet:




but the bailey one has 2 small outlets and 1 big outlet:





Which 1 is best and is there a plumbing diagram someone can point me in the right direction with please? Spec-r one is nice but would have it in black and it's pricey!

Cheers lads.

Philip.

youll probably wait 16 mths for the spec r one as i did.
spec r will have to make it from scratch as they dont keep them on the shelf any more,so they can add or remove pipes you dont need,they added AN fittings on mine.

16 months?! That's a bit too long for me! Which 1 is correct though, the 2 big and 1 small or 1 small and 2 big.....?

Think I have it to sorted now. Obviously I'll need 2 big outlets for the 4X4 cooling system and the 1 small outlet is for the swirlpot...

Thanks for the help

Philip.

I was hoping for more replies mate as mines has a 2wd cooling system fitted on a 4x4 engine and I want to revert back.
