Where do you mount your external reservoirs/ canisters?

[E92inSG]

I bought a set of JRZ RS PRO's for my E92 M3 and was wondering where you guys mount your external reservoirs? In the boot there isn't any issue but I'm finding it hard to find a place for the front dampers that

1) isn't exposed to heat
2) isn't exposed to elements like dirt/ water etc

any installed pics would be GREAT! i know EAS has an install thread on here but they don't show how the reservoirs are mounted

Water and dirt won't hurt them. I put mine in the windshield gutter at the base of the windshield using some fuel cell foam to hold them tightly in place.

Here are a couple different solutions from former VS Motorsports and current M3Post sponsor, Alekshop. Not quite sure how much of an issue heat from the headers and motor will be. All I know is that with my E46 M3, placing my canister in fairly similar areas did not cause any issues on the track and street. Ideally, I would like to keep it away from direct high heat.

Decided to mount at the front air intake area. The airbox prob collects more area from the bumper opening anyway. I'll try and see if I can make some custom ducts to feed air into the secondary airbox opening.

Another angle.

Wouldn't this be the best position to mount for all u guys running superchargers since your airbox no longer draw air from the front grilles?

Oops forgot attachment.

I like my location best. Zero heat and zero chance of a zip tie failure causing something to flop around in the engine bay. So long as you check periodically that the drains are clear which you should do anyway, no issues with drainage

Here are mine. No issue with heat or the elements whatsoever.

Yep...im bringing this back from the dead. Anybody else have a good place to mount the canisters?

I was about to start a new one lol. Thanks for bumping this.

Anyone know if Mcs reservoir will reach the area where the cabin filters are if they are removed?

I tried on top of the radiator, in front of the air ducts at first. Had lots of car overheating issues that were all resolved by moving the canister in the rain tray.

I placed them in the cabin air area. They do reach no problem if anyone wonders

It looks great if you rivet (bonding might work too) the MCS reservoir mounting brackets to the cowl and then use a single zip tie at each end of the reservoir. It’s an extremely clean and sturdy install.

Got these 3d printed. They allow for a zip tie to run through. Not the fanciest but it works!
