for what is the bigger tank (i mean not the normel fill cap) in the separate s/c colling sythem?
i think:
_to see ive there is inought water in the system---you can also see it with the normel fill cap
_more water in the system, so the time is longer until the water gets hot, example a long hill up with wot--but after the hill the time is also longer to cool down the water by driving downhill
_to get the air better out of the system. i think you know this: http://www.crateenginedepot.com/store/O ... 8C196.aspx and then go to the pdf " Click here to see Side Cover and OptB Kit Instructions "
opion B, can used with the single or the dual pass endplate
in the pdf is written, that the hose back to the tank is 1/4". and also that the hose shell start at the top of the Heat Exchanger ( at this place is a reducer in the hose to .040"). i think this sytem to get the air outside is nearly the same at the normel watercooler for the motor in the vectra + astra g with z22se in the front.
