The OG. Essentially a reproduction of what I ran on a personal vehicle back in 2011... just about the time TracTuff was born.

I had no clue I'd be building these as a business back then, so I guess you could say that this is the piece started it all. Requested over and over due to its function, good looks, use of wasted space, and the ability to connect an OEM upper hose. Especially popular with 8th Gen Civic Si and TSX owners.

This swirl pot starts with a beautifully machined 6061-T6 flange that incorporates a -16 ORB outlet port and a 1/2" NPT heater port. You can choose to have any number of accessory bung options added to the tank in any open space. The outlet itself can be configured for standard hose (1.25" OD) or -16 male flare.

The hardware kit includes four M8 socket head bolts, a 1/2" NPT plug, an EGR passage plug, 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 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 will NOT WORK with the shift linkage on a 2.0L.

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 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.

Due to the location of the swirl pot's body the 90° heater hose fitting I usually include with this flange does not fit. If you would like to retain heat, I can weld a female -8 ORB bung for use with my custom 11/16" fitting, a -10 male flare bung, or an 11/16” male slip hose bung to the back of the swirl pot for an additional $30.
