hi
just been lookig at the picture again if you do it yourself bear in mind the distance from the end of the top pipe to your inlet crossover as it mght be tight if your using a dump valve on the top hose and also i would say the fans are front mounted not in between rad and i/c as the bend may be to tight but this is just going by the pic
you should look for a brand name and do an internet search to see if you can find the instructions

Well i got it in there but still need to do some tinkering to fix the right hand side of the rad.Made up a nice bracket for the right side of the cooler and fixed the left direct to the car.Also had to butcher the pipework top and bottom to get the angles needed.water temps running above norm sitting in traffic, had to fit the fan on the front and might need to fit a switch for it.Next is to fit a new actuator then a nice set up.

hi glad its on and tobe honest i think you will need 2 fans mine had only one on when i fitted a front mount i/c and ran that bit hotter so fitted 2 9 inch fans and a 85 degree fan switch and was sorted never leaves the m in traffic
