Do you think it would be beneficial to come off the supercharger with a straight fitting? anyone else tried this? Thinking it would be good to move it away from the exhaust

I wrapped insulation around the bottom of mine for that reason. Moving it would be better.

Ceramic coating on the headers. The tank doesn’t get very hot. Way less heat under the hood.

Check post #68. Rnovrit used the stock bleeder fitting which pushes the 90 degree bend further off. Saw that post after I did mine, but it's a great idea.

I have stock exhaust manifolds and I zip tied the tubing away from both the exhaust manifold and the serpentine belt. I'm confident there won't be any issues.

Thanks, must have glossed over that post. I'll probably go that route. Have ceramic coated csp headers going on right now, installing the resevoir once I get the supercharger back from porting. Also have some heat wrap ready to go for various wires and hoses, just trying to determine the best route for the hose to keep it away from the headers. Thanks again

I believe leaving the stock bleeder plastic fitting on the hose is a mistake. There is no reason for it at all and this fitting has been the source of a few failures. You can still bleed the circuit on the top with the little brass fitting and check flow there.

How often are you guys topping the reservoir with coolant?

Mine goes down to below the top hose after a few days of filling..

You either still have air in the system or a faulty cap. I went through the same thing. I had both, air and faulty cap.

Installed mine in May, the level hasn't changed.

Looks like mine wasn't bled enough after my cam install.

Removed cap, ICP & Fan on using my gauge and let her idle for 15 minutes. Added coolant every 5 minutes until it stayed level. She took around half a gallon more coolant

Will observe closely

Haven't filled it up since I installed mine.

How long have you had yours installed and how many times have you had to refill it?

Pre cam - Did not go low
Post cam - Went low enough for me to fill

Most likely was not bled enough

Ok.This is why it's good to have one of these installed.
