The OG for the RBB/ RBC style cylinder head. a copy of the product I ran on my vehicle back in 2011... just about the time TracTuff was born.

The V1 has been wildly popular with the 8th Gen Civic Si, TSX, and pretty much any FWD K swap that uses the RBB/ RBC/ RRC cylinder head. I owe it to the great looks, good use of wasted space, and the ability to connect and use an OEM molded upper hose.

My swirl pots start with a billet flange that has been CNC machined in the USA using US-milled and certified 6061-T6 aluminum. The flange started life with a -16 ORB outlet port that has been opened up slightly to receive the 1.25" transfer tube that connects it to the swirl pot. The flange also has a 1/2" NPT heater out port.

The hardware kit includes four M8 socket head bolts, a 90° heater hose fitting, a 1/2" NPT plug, an EGR passage plug, and a pair of o-rings. The swirl pot is welded so 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 two forward-most mounting bolts a challenge to reach without the right tools. If you don't already own one, you may want to add a 6mm Stubby L-Key.

NOTE: Made to Order - Contact for ETA - If you are interested in a specific design that varies from this, please email us at sales@tractuff.com. The 3 o'clock outlet position is no longer available due to shift linkage interference issues. Due to the location of the swirl pot's body to the 1/2" NPT heater outlet port, the 90° heater hose fitting does not fit. If you would like to retain heat, I can weld an outlet for an additional $30.

The OEM wire harness and heater hard line will not work with this product. The bulk of the wire harness must be reduced or moved, and the heater hard pipe needs to be cut or replaced by my Thermostat Housing Port Adapter.

The cap bung has a 1/16" NPT port for connection to an overflow and uses early-model Honda radiator caps, such as those found on an 88'-91' Civic/ CRX or 90'-93' Integra. If you are using AN lines, I recommend designing the upper radiator hose so there is droop/ give... so the engine's movement does not push/ pull on the radiator and fatigue any parts.
