I Just Installed The Monster Motorworks Coolant Tank And Power Steering Tank

[ThetC]

If Anyone Has This, What Exactly Does The Secondary Hose Do On The Coolant Tank, And If My Power Steering Pump Is Buzzing Should I Add More Power Steering Fluid, Or Do I Have To Bleed It Some How

post some pics, i wanna c

im at work right now so i cant post pictures, but i will, but i still am not sure what i should do to troubleshoot the install

You may have air in your power steering system. It should self bleed, but make sure that you have the correct fluid and is filled to the proper level.

yah i took care of it, this **** is well worth it, it looks and works rediculous

[chicotunner07]

where did u buy it and how much?

[navylife59]

All bling. Just extra weight. Looks good but I will stick with my plastic.

[chicotunner07]

well, what does the oil catch tank from the same company do? is it just bling too or does it serve a purpose

[ThetC]

actaully its lighter, they are aluminem, they weigh next to nothing, and they look nice, and yes thay are just for show, they serve no extra purpose, but you can get it on monstermotorworks.com

[chicotunner07]

Yeah, i would definitely wanna get those, thay look nice!!

Oil catch tanks are only useful in hi-boost and old worn out engines. They catch oil that can inadvertently be sucked into the intake by blow-by gases pressurizing the valve train area of the head. Maybe it's just me, but under high boost, is not the intake manifold/plenum underboost as well? When pressures are the same on both sides of a manifold they are considered equalized. When one side as a higher potential (pressure) then it is considered differential. Ok, so the entire intake past the compressor is pressurized. Got it. Pressure goes in, energy extracted in the cylinders, and thusly expelled from the combustion chamber into the exhaust. For the valvetrain area to have a positive differential pressure to force oil out you would have to have a great deal of of blow-by pressure in the cylinder. Unless you are boosted over 20PSI or running 13:1 compression with mild boost, I don't see this happening. I have been running 9PSI for well over a year and most of that time I have been running an atmospheric filter to vent crankcase gases. Not drop to be found.

good point, i guess its like u said, people who use them must use them for track cars or dyno queens, but it wouldnt hurt to have it, you never know

[navylife59]

Just like air deflectors, and nology wires (yeah I have them for bling) spend your money on something that will actually give ya performance if that is what your looking for.
