Quick question.

When you’re filling the intercooler overflow bottle for the EB supercharger, are you using the Lisle 24680? I bought a generic kit but it doesn’t fit the Motorad bottle.

Does the Lisle (as in the instruction manual) have an adapter that screws onto the bottle?

Thanks!

I didn’t even use a funnel. Gravity pour straight from coolant container.

Ok. I’m just going by EBs directions on filling the tank. This is when installing the kit new. Everything will be empty and will need to have the system purged of air.

Just be aware that it will take several iterations of driving, purging, and filling the reservoir until it’s completely purged.

That’s what I’ve heard. Was hoping to avoid some of that with the funnel and try to purge it idling per se.

EB says to use the funnel to fill it and purge but not sure if the lisle has the right adapter to fit the tank.

I thought I was done until I hit IATs that were 100 above ambient on the highway. Took another half gallon of coolant.

Keep in mind if the pump hits a air pocket it will automatically turn itself off, so what I usually do is have someone open the driver door, this turns on the pump then I continuously pour into the bottle making sure it never runs empty, I do this until it finally stops sucking the coolant in. Close the system, then check it again and add how ever much more it needs.

I’ve been wanting to get the spill proof funnel as EB suggests. Seems a bit easier lol. Does the Lisle 24690 have an adapter / cap that fits the coolant tank? The generic one I bought didn’t. It had 7 ends, none of which fit.

If not, I’ll entrust one of my kids to be the door opener lol.
