Anyone do this? Seems like a long way away but unfortunately im running into some space issues with my new intercooler.
Relocate coolant res near brake master?

I did, but it looked like poo, and air seemes to get into the system still. I have seen some really nice and thin aluminum ones on hotrods but have never founf who makes them. Seems we are in similar situations!
Iirc beech performance sells a nice alum over flow.
If i run out of room coming up when i re mount my ic ill prolly put it under the drivers fog light or between the battery and rad. Its not something i really ever use so if its a pain in the ass to get too thats fine with me.

Yeah I've got to imagine it would look like crap there but I'm getting desperate. ha.
Ideally what I need is a shorter but wider rectangular piece but all I can seem to find are the cylinder types like the ones mentioned below (http://beechperformance.com/html/misc_products.html). I've searched high and low and can't find #### as you've mentioned for the nice thin aluminum pieces matching my needs.

yeah I'm a 2JZ with 3" intercooler piping from the throttle body so there is no room next to the battery. Then the K&N filter I have up front along with the intercooler piping routed under the passenger headlight takes up all my room in that area. My intercooler (24x12x4 core) is pushed up as high as possible while leaving about 5 inches of height for a coolant res and just enough where it is even on the bottom with the bumper lip.
So the only really open space in the engine bay right now is the rear driver or that 5 inch high by about 10 inch wide space above the intercooler I'd ideally like to find a piece for.
What about under the drivers head light?
Could ask beech performance to make you one in the size you need. Im sure he would. His section in in the vendor section on here.

I have every intention of making one similar to what you have in mind, with an inspection hole on the side that I can shine a light into and see where the fluid level is. I've seen plenty of cars use old beer/soda bottles, seems to work well enough.

lol your post aside I have been truly amazed by how often that suggestion comes up. I just can't bring myself to do it.
None the less... You planning on making it any time soon? Because that sounds awesome.
Won't be any time soon man, still gotta save up the money for the turbo, pull the engine, build the manifold, test fitting, final welding, blah blah blah... all that before even worrying about the intercooler and space issues in the front. Personally if it were me, I'd be looking to see who can build something like that, not like it'd be terribly complicated, it's a box with an inspection port. My biggest concern is keeping the fluid level sensor (birdcage/cheap g-meter light) functioning.
