If you have a local automotive AC shop they could probably fab something up for you. If you could find a good condenser that would help, however the local shop may have something similar in size condenserwise. It's worth a shot.

The "small" high pressure lines were from my stock system and were just slowly rebent to get the shapes I wanted. Started with a coat hanger and created a "template" for the shape before I started reshaping my stockers. The "large" diameter low pressure lines are also stock, however the one that loops around the front of my vmount and connects to the condenser in my pics is a custom extension that the AC shop helped create for me. Bought the FD HP hose ends for this custom hose from a forum member who was parting out his FD. Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions or things I can help with!

Been quite some time since I posted up. Finally getting started on my Euro-style water injection system. Tank will be fabbed out of aluminum and will be completely hidden behind the rear cargo panel.

Here's a sketch of what I'm envisioning. Tank will use the stock windshield washer fill hole on the rear panel.

I would place a "baffle wall" with 1/8" holes near the bottom, around the pump supply line on the drivers side tank. Splitting the tank into two tanks was good idea and WILL assist in the "slosh" effect. None the less, I would recommend you add the baffling.

Agreed. Baffles are part of the plan. I'll keep posting up pics as the tank takes shape!

That tank is MONEY! I love it. I tried using just the stock tank...not NEAR big enough lol. But even the one tank on that side looks way bigger.

Thanks! Yea, the two tanks combined hold ~1.8 gals. More than enough for an aggressive track session and probably enough for an entire day at the track. Glad you like it!
