Im looking at fabbin up my cold pipe now, and the tank is sitting right under the battery box. do most people relocate that? or is there a way to sneak beside it.

Im assuming all s13s are the same, but this is on KA24e if it matters.

well i took that chit out, I am sure everyone else just removes it, but there could be a way to do your piping another way.

hey, here is a heads up:if you go to autozone they sell these "radiator coolant overflow bottles' for small cars that are like 5 bucks. They are about the size of a couple video tapes stacked on top of each other. I am using one for my radiator overflow, but they could easily be adapted for use as a smaller washer resevoir. *shrugs*

I did not loose mine.... living in a country where it rains like 8 months a year I really need my windshield washer thingy...



Wish I had a finished pic.... but I was able to pass a 2 1/5 cooler pipe beside the water reservoir. Tight fight, specially with the IC noozles but it fits.

I think I may have rotated the reservoir... or did I just try to? hmmm if I had my car I would go look

ok, I just figured out (stupid, I know) that I should come up from the bottom, and go through that way I know that I miss the resevoir.

wow, you have a pit. I would give anything for that, or a lift right about now.

I needed to keep my washer fluid tank in there because I use it for my alcohol injection :)

Here's a pic of my plumbing...it's a tight fit but if you do it right you don't need to relocate it.

Go half way down and you'll see good pics of the cold pipe
