« on: August 12, 2017, 01:17:56 PM »
Hey guys,
i  have got the Samberg expansion tank. just trying to figure out the routing of it. I have an idea to where it goes. i got the steam tubes, the coolant lines from the throttle body, and couple other lines. just not 100% positive.

anyone got some nice  pics for routing?? been looking around and cant really find anything definitive.
thanks!!!

Steam vents to either side port of the expansion tank.
Pressure cap port to the overflow tank.
Bottom port to highest point on radiator.

what about the lines that pass through the throttle body?

I'd leave those off.
Running hot coolant through the throttle body is mainly to prevent throttle icing in cold and damp weather.
Heating the TB in warm weather could slightly raise your intake air temp, hurting performance.

My TB doesn't even have those ports, and I've never had an icing problem.
