TracTuff RBB/RBC Swirl Pot – V3

Description

A duplicate of the super-popular V1SR swirl pot for the PRB/ PRC cylinder head is now available for the RBB/ RBC/ RSP cylinder head!

I recommend this version whenever possible because it includes several features I simply cannot build into other versions due to space constraints. It makes great use of space for those of you who don’t have anything that conflicts with it; it has a high entry/low outlet, a substantial bracket to support the assembly, and an outlet position that allows the best plumbing options possible. By best, I mean it lets you use more hose and reduces bad hose routing.

This swirl pot starts with a beautifully machined 6061-T6 billet aluminum flange with a -16 ORB outlet port.  You can add any number of accessory bung options to any open space on the tank. The outlet itself can be configured for a standard hose (1.25″ OD) or -16 male flare.

The hardware kit includes four M8 socket head bolts and a pair of o-rings. The swirl pot is welded so that it sits level when bolted to an engine leaned back 15° (OEM option) or leaned forward 8° (Gangster Lean engine mount option).

The space between the swirl pot and the flange makes the rear upper mounting bolt hard to reach without the right tools. If you don’t already own one, you may want to add a 6mm Stubby L-Key.

NOTE: The V3 swirl pot DOES NOT natively fit/ work with the EURO R or TSX type transmission.

If you choose the import radiator cap bung, it has a 1/16″ NPT port for connection to an overflow and uses early-model Honda radiator caps, such as an 88′-91′ Civic/ CRX or 90′-93′ Integra. If you are using AN lines, I recommend designing the upper radiator hose with droop/give so the engine’s movement doesn’t push/pull on the radiator and fatigue any parts.

If you want to retain in-cabin heat, I can weld a female -8 ORB bung to the body of the swirl pot for use with my custom 11/16″ fitting, a -10 male flare bung, or an 11/16” male slip hose bung for an additional $30.
