So are they using a high mount radiator w/ cap? Could you only run it like that if you had a coolant bypass hose in place of the TB coolant? Just trying to figure out where all the air would go in the system since the neck would now not be the highest point.....got any other pics?

lane_change---Unfortunatly thats my only pic. I would assume they still have an AST on there somewhere out of the picture.

rotoboy661---Wasnt really planning on it, but anything is Japan is always available. I was mostly just trying to help out that guy that was asking about where to find one and if it was available.

How? They have no neck....hence no lower nipple for the AST??? The only thing I can imagine is that they are using a tall radiator...like on a Ford pickup or something...that has a cap for the fill, and is also the highest point in the system to trap the air.

Also....what about the water temp, level, etc...sensors? I can see the bypass hose coming in....but no sensors now.....no tap for temp. Interested in this....find more pics/info...and hook a brother up.

If they did the same thing to the upper hose that I did to my lower hose with these part seen here, along with the nipple and a hose running to the AST, then it would be fine.



Your right though, they could use a radiator cap on the radiator itself of course too.

Come to think of it several FDs in Japan I have seen having this, but all are custom, maybe I can see about some pics of some other FDs with different set-ups, but all have the basic idea. I will also see about e-mailing this company about another pic or 2.
