I have the vortech v2 setup with the sos front fount heat exchanger. Can I eliminate the vortech reservoir? Or is it still needed?

 

I am running a V2 setup and no reservoir.

 

I'm sure you can remove it. Less liquid ciruclating will heat up quicker and raise your IAT's.

I'd keep it on just so there's more fluid to circulate around. I was actually thinking of adding another reservoir to increase capacity! Let me know if you wanna get rid of it!

If I took it off I would keep it. I just think that if I removed it the fluid would circulate a bit faster, it doesn't seem that fast right now. I have the bosch cobra water pump and SOS front mount heat exchanger.

 

Removing it would do more harm than good. I doesn't need to circulate very quickly.

 

More water in the system is better . I would leave it in there ! You dont want the water to circulate too fast or it wont have time to cool down in the radiator .

 

Changing the volume of water in the system doesn't affect it's flow rate. What is will do is alter the speed your water warms and cools. Your water is a heat sink; the more water the better.
