So after 21 psi where does the pressure /coolant go in an overheat situation? It’s the same design as the Radium. Just the radium has a line attached to it.
As I understand, the function is of a recovery tank. Expanded liquid fills into the tank, level rises, cools sucks back into the motor.
I know the level rises as it gets warm. But the systems are rated at the caps to blow off once the limit is reached. If they didn’t give, you’d blow end tanks or lines completely off.
Yes that is what a recovery tank does. An expansion tank is not a recovery tank. I've already explained it on page 1 in this thread. The S550 uses and expansion tank, not a recovery tank.
Yes the cap is vented, I hope "cap blow off " is meant as pressure release, if not I'm LMAO
Let's keep the blow off valve for the eco boost lol
Yes, that’s just how I phrased it. I don’t mean the cap actually comes off. Guess me using “blow off” comes from all the turbo cars I’ve had over the years.
'I knew he was going to be “that guy” on my thread when he said back on page 1 that the FP oil separator would not fit... This tank is smaller than the factory bubble in every dimension. I needed it because the PMAS intake is large and moves the the coolant tank over a bunch. The factory bubble looks terrible and even more terrible how I had to place it to clear the whole Cobra jet setup.
No it was definitely you on the first page saying it won’t work, you were positive about that and were corrected many times on this post. Doesn’t dump coolant externally huh? Ok.. over 21 psi it has to go somewhere..'
Other guy, you if confused.
Looking at the original photo the distance, head and back of the funky ass box, was lacking the clearance.
Then the finger pointing down into don't know what, what is down there BTW..... ?
At the end of the day, coolant is not dumped externally, OEM.
Suggestion, paint the mounting bracket black the box is mounted to. Not the angled bridge girder looking deal. Will clean the look up and make the box look like it belongs .

Smoothing the ruffled feathers, the machine work done was decent.
Good luck
Really done
Doesn’t go back to the tank. Clearly goes to outside. It’s the vent for pressure/coolant to escape if need be.I think this is the function in question. The opening under the cap flows to a channel going down the backside of the tank. Where that overflow goes when it hits the seam, I don't know. Someone can explain.
Thanks. I couldn't tell from that side photo where the channel went. Your pic shows it clearly open at the bottom.
