Evening all - has been somewhat 9 years but car is being slowly rebuilt, but when offering up the radiator with the new turbo and waste gate etc I can’t quite see how it should mount correctly, i have the IC with twin fans to mount thereafter, which has come with some mounts to retro fit to the Rad. Has anyone simply a pic of theirs in position? It’s the ally 42mm type?

thanks all

 

Andy
You use old mounts on drivers side,
I fixed a small bracket to cross member to catch the old fan fixing point at the bottom of rad.

Kev

 

Thanks for reply Kev Have had some nylon bushes made up for rad mount, I didn’t realise or remember how the rad sat, at a slight angle etc. Have it all loosely In position, just need to sit the fans in place.

 

cool, you got it fitted, smart

 

Fans fit in easy, the rad sits at an angle, keep them high up on the radiator, I got A slim aluminium rad from coolex only £124 quid, all the rest are wanting £220 odd. mad eh

 

I forgot I had the airtec radiator, I found it when digging through the boxes. Have you a pic of the fans in position?

 

I will send you a pic of rad n fans with intercooler in position

 

 

Nice one - it looks like they are pretty much identical positioning with fans in between. I know it’s going over old ground but just to confirm with you, I can see that bumper will need work to fit snug.

is that a Zetec block behind?

 

 

also mate - please can I trouble you for a pic of your bumper front and inside just to see?

 

bumper fits, no mods needed.

 

2.1 zetec

 

mines 88 spec - looks as it will fowl by approx 30mm, that’s with an airtec rad sitting on OE mounting?

 

I assume it’s the depth of the airtec rad reading back, yours is slim line.

 

my rad is made by coolex. Rad is slimer than original. Fits in OE mounts.
I have had bumper on its has about 4-5mm clearance., intercooler is artec not slimline. Mounts bolt on inside of front panel.

 

I’m interested In this conversion - what’s your spec and management?

 

Tell the truth a bought it built. Calibra pistons, rst head. Some special valves. Gets 250bhp. Does me.
haltech management. Garrett t3 turbo.

 

You better watch that bottom hose, looks like it’s gonna rub on crossmember n front pannel

 

Did you raptor iinside of-engine bay

 

raptor?

I have Edge protection to fit around the valence, and can tweak the position as the hose alignment needs some tweak. I have the foam to seal the rads too so will have a proper play when I get a chance

I’m after a ZVH long block now to build for this once it’s running

 

I have a spare zen engine. Also efi inlet,
why is you intercooler mounted on outside of front panel, has your car same as mine then, 88spec and 90spec mixed interior.

 

That how I’ve seen the mounts - how does yours fix to valence then?

are you selling ZVH? Does this conversion use RS head?

 

Wouldn’t know mate ref interior - it’s the darker Recaro with red fleck? It’s all in storage for over a decade, I’ve forgotten all the details nowadays.

I had 2 RS’s - one had a rotten bulkhead and shell, was a write off so stripped it. That’s why this one is mixed red/white

 

I just fix mine inside valance, same fixing points mines is just loose,

I would sell it and yes it has an rst head,.

my interior seats and roof lining n pillar covers are 90spec, all speakers n sill plates rear door cards and back speakers are dark grey

 

Pm a price your thinking if you like and a few photos when you get time

yeh I have dark grey trim too, was from
my 89 plate, current white one is 87

 

Your is all 88 spec tho. I thought of changing mine to all 88 spec. I have a full spare 88 spec interior from headlining to carpet far my old xr3i

I will pm you and send a few pics, your away in Kent. About 500miles away

 

I’m saying dark grey, I think it is from memory but may be wrong, it was an original turbo that hadn’t been tampered with.

I had some RS7 couriered before Xmas, it’s possible to get it down if I get in to it.

 

I got rs7 to. A year ago. 17inch

 

costing me 3000 toget ma car painted tho

 

Dont see why you need to mod bumper

 

Nice one Kev, I need to have a proper look as it looks the same!? The fans are slim line too.

it’s been -3 down here atm so haven’t been outside for a few weeks!

I'm pricing Omex atm now - might go straight for that whilst it’s being built.

 

Also your radiator is inline with the roll bar mounts, which is the same as mine so I can’t see the issue

 

 

that’s not to bad tho?

 

Its painted and nearly back together

 

Nice one - Let’s see it then mate? Can only dream atm of that stage! Have booked mine in for some welding, have to wait until April next year

 

 

Spot on that mate, seriously.

cannot see how the bumper fits so well, I’ve brought a spare to cut up!

Im not sure if intercooler will get enough airflow there. So may be temp. I am going to get intercooler modified and fit in area where original went, but twice the size.
