  • This is a part that I have been eye balling for quite some time, the smaller upper coolant reservoir frees up SO MUCH SPACE! Shout out to Killer B Motorsports for sending this over, couldn't be happier with the fit and finish of this piece! I ran the V1 Model on my old 2007 STI and this new V2 model allows you to be able to use the reservoir with AN fittings for your own custom coolant set up if you wanted to!

    I bought one of those killer b coolant expansion tanks and even trimmed enough hose to allow proper fitment for the bottom hose and the hose blew at the base of it. I was never able to find an elbow shaped hose to fit bc the expansion tank is somewhat offset to the right. So what I did was removed the top mounting bolt and angle the expansion tank left to have the coolant ports to be in-line with each other. Doing it this way I believe reduces tension near the base of the hose to keep it from bursting again. Seems like offsetting the entire unit and having it mounted with one bolt is doing the tick. I think killer b messed up with the actual mounting bracket bc the ports shouldn’t be offset. They should be aligned. You’ll notice when you align the bottom barb with the coolant port the mounting brackets don’t align.

    The reservoir looks great except the two hoses coming out the side. It looks like it needs some management there. It's kinda drives me crazy that there is 2 hoses dangling with unnecessary bends out front. Perhaps instead of the two nipple going to passenger side ...make two optional front ones with plugs in them. That way we can run those small hoses shorter and cleaner.

Mind you im also using 1 bottle of royal purple ICE in the subaru blue coolant. Ive been trying alot of different things after installing the aftermarket csf radiator trying to get consistency. But it has also been extremly hot where I live. Im not planning rotated anytime soon so I think I will do the killer b water pump housing as priority and see if that helps find better consistency numbers. Alot of research keeps telling me the 1.4 bar csf cap is intended to replace oem cap on radiator. I put oem fans back on car so that fixed stationary cooling but when i see 223 degrees doing WOT on flat roads I wonder how bad it will be for canyon driving, which is what i want to do mostly with the car is canyon spirited driving.

      You can get an E tune for those mods, I would not suggest the burble tune though.

      Blew up right as I started college so had to sell it for something newer for school. Ended up with a 2016 WRX

      Dam that really sucks you know I'm convinced that every single car is made the same like you can have the same car with the same mods and make more or less power
