V3 is an RBB/ RBC/ RSP version of the V1SR swirl pot originally designed for the PRB/ PRC cylinder head.

I recommend this version whenever possible because it incorporates several features I cannot build into other versions due to space constraints. In the end, it's a great use of space for those who don't have things that conflict with it. The high entry/ low outlet increases its effectiveness, the beefy bracket helps support the assembly, and the outlet position allows for the best plumbing options.

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 rear upper mounting bolt a challenge to get to 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 V3 swirl pot DOES NOT natively fit/ work with the EURO R or TSX type transmission. 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.
