windshield washer fluid container
Friday, May 13, 2005 5:40 AM
im almost done with my boost project on my 99 Z24. i ran into alittle problem and need to get a new widow washer fluid container but not the stock one. it needs to be smaller and relocated. is there any places that sell like aluminum ones that look cool since it will be exposed in the engine bay not hidden by the battery and fender. i was thinking of custom but i don thave anything to weld with and personally dont know how to do that myself. so ive seen people with cool aluminum looking ones.


i love it when the guys spend the money on their V8's, and get smoked by half the priced turbo 4 bangers.....

I think you might be able to pick some aluminum ones through Jeg's or Summit Racing. I've never seen anything like that at a local parts store though. Best of luck to you.

I have the perfect solution:







As you can see, the 2k+ washer tank (the thin black thing) is MUCH smaller and has PLENTY of room for charge pipes, plus its bolt in

People haven't paid attention to the pictures I've posted apparently....

I showed my custom washer fluid tank about 6 weeks ago.

Actually with the hahn kit you can't keep you original
washer fluid canister it just doesn't fit. The charge
pipes run straight through that spot. I had to fit a
plastic coolant container with a hose and a pump.
Whatever works though.

Just go to the junk yard and get a headlight washer fluid tank.I know the ones on the bmw are small.You should be able to hide it in the fender well somewhere.

I relocated mine to the trunk, and with some ingenuity figured out what to use instead of the big ass washer bottle.

I have minimal pressure drop and only a slight lag.

it worked out 'ok'

can you fit 2.5" charge pipes through the two holes left by the expansion box and washer bottle?

^ The expansion box one, yes, not sure about the washer container hole though.
