RotoFab coolat reservoir install

Anybody install the reservoir and move the coolant pump to the drivers rail ? Ive read some posts about it but have seen no pictures? Also with this setup is anybody reversing the coolant flow? Seems necessary.

Any help or suggestions would be Awesome!

I did have mine switched but we were reading higher temps so switched it back but it can be done at your own risk!

Now with that said a higher end pump bigger reservoir and better intercooler or Jannetty's ice chest should be more than enough to take care of any higher temps at your power level!

I'm getting ready to change mine , most the people
I talked to including Mike from Rotofab said to move
the pump to drivers side , feed the pump from the
tank so that would be changing the flow of the coolent
to a clockwise direction .

Im no engineer but it seems improbable that the IAT would read higher by merely changing the direction of flow and adding more coolant capacity? Not adding or subtracting any hose length , guess I'll have to monitor the temps.
