Circuit Sport coolant tank

[g6civcx]

There's a sale on this in the vendor section. I wanted to comment on this product but as a courtesy I didn't pollute his thread.

I think this item is a great replacement to a cracked overflow tank. The only thing you may want to note is that the fitting on the CS tank is smaller than the fitting on the stock tank.

So it's not going to a direct bolt-on without using a reducer on the overflow hose for you guys still running stock radiator.

If you have Koyo or swirl pots, this is the same size so it will slide up with the smaller hose with no problem.

Small FYI.

Got my swirl pot today, hopefully picking up my CS coolant tank today. I wouldn't have had to purchase one if I didn't crack my tank by resting my hand on it while trying to pull off my intake hose

Mine did not fit without moving a harness as well as bending and notching the tabs. Also the CS badge on the front fell off.

Mine works fine

I remember the fitting being small but wasn't a big deal just found some other hose lying around (spit in the tube to lube it on, tight fit lol)

The tabs were slightly off (slightly), but oh well just bend slightly without cracking, all good

The quality overall vs. price cannot be messed with (better than any other option thus far)

Quality of the welds and overall finish/construction I was pleased with (afterall its just a overflow tank, you could use a coke can if you wanted lol)

My stock overflow tank wasn't cracked, but eh just wanted some bling bling for the ching ching

It's not your fault. They're all old and getting ready to crack at any time.

are you guys using the top of the tank to hook up the hose to? where the cap is?
Im pretty sure you are supposed to use the bottom nipple to connect the hose to, not the top. it works that way on mine because i was leaking coolant from a hose and it drained my reservoir.

i got mine , and welded some fittings on it and made it into a swirl pot air bleeder lol, cured all my overheating problems, its an awsome product to be honest

Is Circuit Sport the only option for aftermarket tanks? They look much better than stock but i wish they made it a bit more bling, or added some color.

Ordered mine the week of Christmas and it will be coated in black before it goes into the bay. I'm not much on the bling factor, I smashed the stock one with my elbow trying to replace a fuel line. At least now I can't smash this one so easily and the bay will look cleaner than ever before.

Damn I wish I could weld, that's pretty genius of you

Apexi makes one too, but its more expensive and its universal, so the circuit sports one is a better direction to take.

Have it polished, painted, or powder coated.

Hey can you give me some info on the reducer you mentioned. I am running a koyo radiator but my coolant return hose is to big for the circuit sports tank, do you know where I can pick up a reducer that will work or what size? I have tried several times to install without any luck.

Thanks in advance!!

Well this is how it is on mine. It's a little dirty but that was right after the motor went in. I cleaned it up a little bit after that.

I just used a vacuum/windshield washer hose and stretched it a little bit to fit the Koyo. You can see it right here.

sorry to dive off topic but where are you guys getting your breather tanks from(swirlpots)?

They have these at the parts store for $10 with mounting hardware.

Just finished installling my Circuit Sports tank, fit well enough as soon as your break off the bracket that connects to the fuse holder. And it pushes up against a wire loom running along the shock tower. The inlet valve on the bottom is way too close to the fender well, it should be pointing forward towards the car battery or something...

But aside from that, it looks good, in fact too good with a stock KA, it looks a tad out of place being all new and shiny in comparison to a crummy engine.

As far as the Apexi one goes, I couldn't imagine paying $250 for that, and the welds look like total poo. The welds on the CS tank are pretty freaking clean, totally shocked for something that is $80

i just got mine, it deosent fit, ima have to drill a hole in the inner fender to make it fit. ugh

The reason for the heafty price for the Apex-i unit is because it is not JUST and overflow tank.....it can be used as a swirl pot.
