ebo03 Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 I'll keep you guys posted. A post from IWSTI indicates that it will fit any EJ engines. Just at a glance it looks like the shape of the OEM coolant overflow tank so I'm hoping it is a simple replacement. http://www.iwsti.com/forums/3905724-post1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebo03 Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 Killer B coolant/washer fluid reservoir arrived today. Looks to be the same size and shape as the OEM coolant overflow tank. It should just be a matter of figuring how to mount it and ditching the gigantic washer fluid tank. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160304/31fefd33c84b93dd43b9ff2f4844283b.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160304/a2e55779e12bc8064856570b055cc649.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebo03 Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 IAG billet caps fit reasonably well. They were far too loose on both OEM tanks, particularly coolant overflow...I really had no confidence that it would stay on. Coolant overflow cap could be a bit more snug. I had to trim down the rubber gasket of the washer fluid cap to get it to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebo03 Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 I could count the number of times that I've used the washer button on one hand in my 5 years of ownership. I keep my car very clean so it doesn't get much use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellesedil Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 you don't love the massive washer fluid tank? it's such a life saver for me, it's one and a half bottles worth of fluid has gotten me through many salty road trips. You pretty much point out the difference between New England and Virginia. This is more of a thing in salt country. Wet salt spray from the road means judicious use of the washer fluid, otherwise the wipers will just smear it across the windshield and then you really can't see anything.

ebo03 Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 Those items came into my mind to simply have more space in the bay. I really wish I would have discovered this back when I was making my front mount. It was a real bitch to snake the piping around the washer fill neck, figure out a way to push the battery back closer to the strut tower, and make a bracket to keep the battery from sliding forward. With this product it would have been a much more direct route. You pretty much point out the difference between New England and Virginia. This is more of a thing in salt country. Wet salt spray from the road means judicious use of the washer fluid, otherwise the wipers will just smear it across the windshield and then you really can't see anything. Yeah I feel you on that one. They use that crap on the roads here too. But we typically get 2 or 3 solid snows per year and they don't stay around for long.

ebo03 Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 Need to do 60k maintenance next week. I didn't really look at what the manufacturer's list contains so I figured I'd do the following: Engine oil & filter (Shell Rotella and Mazda filter) Trans and rear diff fluids (Motul Gear 300) Brake fluid (Motul 5.1) Power steering fluid Clutch fluid (will do damper delete too) Coolant flush Cabin air filter Clean and oil K&N filter on custom intake NGK one step colder plugs Also going to have some thread repair done on the front Brembo mounting points with Time-Serts. My mechanic friend will tackle that job. I used the OEM bolts when I swapped to Brembos which are a different thread pitch. By that point in the job I was out of patience and just gorilla'd the bolts in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2baru Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 What was the results of fitting the killerb reservoir? Pics of it in place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebo03 Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 Haven't had a chance to look at the Killer B reservoir yet. I just survived tax season and I'm not going to be home much between now and mid-May. Once I have a weekend at home I'll try to get it installed.

ebo03 Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 Better not be that Subaru power washer!!! That's funny. I have actually considered getting one just b/c well it's a Subaru. However, a gas unit is a bit overkill for my needs which are 99% automotive. The Sun Joe unit I purchased from Amazon has been going strong for over a year.
