Was wondering if anyone has used them for their road race cars. I see setups for fuel swirl pots and i saw a coolant one on k20 built by pacman. But it didnt seem to make sense to me. Can I just run the swirl pot inline between the head and upper rad hose?

I believe you want it on the out let line, not the inlet. we had one on the shop s2000 but its been so long since i looked it at i'm not 100% what was done (was built way before i got there)

That hose should come right off the bleeder screw.

Then T a hose into the highest part of the coolant system. That's what the "combustion chamber hose" is representing

I don't think those are doing anything other than filling with coolant...

The point of the swirl pot is for trapped air to be able to escape.
