Default Intercooler Reservoir + Custom Cap
Following in the footsteps of many, I decided to not only isolate the Intercooler and Radiator Coolant, but to add a reservoir as well. Looking through what others had done, I didn't blaze a new path, but rather took a little bit from many and made it my own.

I couldn’t find EXACTLY what I wanted so I started with this reservoir and mounting bracket from Jegs…

Not liking the small ¼” Nipple, I drilled and tapped it up to a ½” NPT and used this ¾” Hose inlet from Summit…

Mounted it to the radiator fan housing (using massively large fender washers on the back to ensure no risk of the plastic giving or deforming).

Capped the connection from the intercooler system going into the factory coolant box, piped it to my new reservoir.

Added a custom radiator cap

And here you go….












The Custom Cap mounts to a standard radiator cap. I ordered it through a company I deal a LOT with for my other vehicles (Magnum and 300C).

Billet Technology | Modern Mopar Billet Accesories

Most of what they have won't work on the Crossfire but since this used a standard radiator cap, it worked just fine.
