Megan Racing AST?
Good moring fellow members,
I just came accross this megan racing coolant part, which to me it looks like a AKA: Air Separator Tank. MSRP is considerably lower compared to other AST on the market. Has anyone had experience w/them or could chime in on it?
Part numbers are:
MR-BT-B (for Blue)
MR-BT-B (for Red)
Here is the link...

No experience with the product but it looks like it could be made to work. It has a 1.1kg/cm^2 pressure cap, not sure how that compares to the OEM. Also it appears to have one extra port that the FD AST doesn't so you'd have to plug that up. And clearly it's not custom fit so you'd have to build a bracket.

I think the OEM pressure cap is .9kg,s o you may need a different cap. A common problem with cheaper ASTs is that they tend to warp and the cap looses pressure. I bought a used RE-Amemiya one and I've heard great reviews about it. This is a part, that if it fails, you can blow your engine....

What a bait and switch!!
I think I got my Pettit one for like $70 shipped.
Once I got it we promptly cut holes into it, welded on a couple -4 bungs, a -16 bung, and a 3" pipe.
After that we just used the AST in place of my T-stat housing

I have been thinking of picking up a JDM STi EJ20K coolant expansion tank as they are all metal and look oem, but also nice.
I currently have Pettit ast and it doesn't work with the stock looking theme I have going on in the engine bay (okay, its pretty much stock in there besides an bed liner'ed SMIC and Efini Y pipe).

I would recommend the one Banzai sells on their website. I just picked one up recently and was blown away by the quality of it. It's black anodized brushed aluminum and the welds look great. Banzai also shipped it out super fast and threw in a mouse pad too.
btw, it comes with a 0.9 bar cap which is the correct one to use.

I had a Pettit AST. Fitment was poor, and it's made of thin metal that warped and didnt seal. It caused me all kinds of problems before I realized it was warped. It is NOT a good product.
Tri Point Engineering makes a good quality AST. I have had it for about 3 years with no problems. I highly recommend it:
AST - 93-95 RX-7 Tri-Point Engineering AST
