Default Air to Water Tank placement

I am running a air to water intercooler sandwiched inside between the intake manifold on my twin turbo v8 swap and I am wondering where everyone has been placing their water tank in the car.

Passenger area is a option but this is a "street car", so if anyone has tank recommendations that will keep some passenger seat I'd appreciate it. Nose is my second option, but I've only seen S2king with a nose setup. Good news is my car is cut off 4 inches in front of the spindles(per x275 rules) with a tube front assembly for my radiator/lights/etc. If anyone else has done this I'd appreciate a idea of whose unit you went with. Third and probably the worst option is on the passenger side engine bay where the battery sat. I think I could fit a custom 5 gallon setup there, but if anyone has made one I'd love a link to such a setup. Bad side is heat would be a bitch and even on a e85 car I'd have to run ice constantly.

Here is the space I have to work with, gonna run a prostock/scirocco rad where most S2000s put their intercoolers so I have plenty of bay space​​​​​​​

Have you considered in the rear where the stock spare tire mounts? Have to run some long lines, but it would help with weight distribution? What size radiator are you going with?

First world problems

Also, the V8 in my s2000 just wasn't quite enough, nor was 1 turbo

I havent. Good idea though. Also didnt consider where the old fuel tank was.. like you said though that is a lot of line. Someone needs to make a tank in the shape of a passenger seat.

My radiator plans are a 14x25x3 dual core dual pass unit. Shroud and two nice fans. A 16x27 worked great NA so I am hoping with E85 temps the smaller unit will work with a better fan setup. Hopefully. I might have more room than I planned but I'd love to tuck this thing up under the bumper where the lights are.

I would personally try and mount something in the nose, or atleast exhaust a lot of my resources trying to.

From personal experience I wouldn't put anything in the rear of an S2000 if you are going to be big power drag racing.

I'd try my best to fit it all up front

I would do this ^^^ I vote nose. weld/shape something that effectively uses a lot of the space or (volume of liquid you need to be efficient) It will be close to your heat exchanger as well to line and look neat.

Thanks man. Hit me up when you go for it. I have patterns and prints I will send you to make the headlight supports mount up pretty dang straight on the removal portion.
