I'd talk to them because I see the reservoir as in stock and the cooler is out of stock.

There is also an identical reservoir floating around too, probably made in the exact same factory, just no mounting brackets supplied with it.

Edit: here it is. https://www.kartek.com/parts/kartek...ir-with-filter-and-pressure-relief-valve.html

Yes. Thats the one i was trying to find. Lol

• $39.25 Derale cooler 13224 (comes with 2 bolts/nuts)
• $199.99 Kartek Reservoir KTKPSRF
• $14.99 Kartek Clamp 3-1/2in (comes with 2 bolts/nuts)
• $7.90 10AN ORB to 12AN male adapter [OM-10-12] (hex needs shaved down to fit)
• $19.90 12AN to barb (90) [PL-090-12]
• 18mm ID hose (~3ft)
• $4.49 per ft(3/4" 19mm ID works from O'Reilly [27010])
• $2.79 Hose clamps O'Reilly [MHC MP5512V]
• $3.90 10AN ORB to 6AN male adapter [OM-10-06]

That's fantastic, only change I'd make is Mercon LV.

Amsoil is fine but hard to source and I don't much like mixing fluids except in an emergency.

The site shows the pump is an #10 and the return is an #6.

Did he change them to the 12-10 ? Making sure im reading it correctly

Looks like the return is #8.

I'm not too familiar with what is what, but I would like to piece together a kit that utilizes the Kartek reservoir, GJ cooler and OEM pump.

On GJ, they say -10 ORB to -12 on pump port and -10 ORB to -6 on return port. Part of me wants to follow their instructions since I'm sure it's ran with an OEM setup and with their cooler upgrade. What do you guys think?

Yeah seems like their instructions would be right. Idk all these AN numbers/fittings well either. And how it says -6 on return does that mean the -8 is too big? Lol

I added these to the cart going off what fittings the res already had…

 

[itsrichierich]

So if my thinking is correct, we will need an -10 ORB to -12 on the pump port and -8 ORB -6 on return port if we are going to run the Kartek reservoir. Not sure why the guy told me -10 to -6.
