Radiator and intercooler now finished...

PROALLOY FOOKING RULE!!!!

awesome quality of workmanship, and everything will work as good as it looks.

I was almost wanking over my new radiator... wow!!! Its twice the size of the shonky old one and we struggle to even get the new slimline fan to come on last night it was working so well!

Top to Alex and Big Gay Wayne!!!









Header tank and breather all fitted up


engine running! and you can see my Proalloy swirlpot...



Huge thanks to Stu again! Fantastic work and engine is running SOOO smoothly!!

alot of that is down to stu and Kenny at MSD as its using their injectors, chip, closed loop fueling and coil pack conversion. Its all working perfectly as ALWAYS from MSD!!!

Almost there now!!!!

Sooooooooooo excited!!!!

Fantastic stuff, looks at the ideal angle to just put a silicon bend on the compressor outlet straight up to it, and the end tanks look factory in terms of the welding and shape.

They've really outdone themselves IMHO

Thats the plan Chipster, but as ever I am sure it wont be quite so simple!!!

The plan is to also make a proper sealed shroud feeding cool air from the nose through the cooler, hence the extra bit I had the guys weld on the front to make fitting this easier.

Be testing my alloy plate bending skills later!!!

Yes I assumed you were going to do some sort of funnel when I saw the lip.

Should get it some nice clean airflow when on the move, and when stood still it will suffer no heat soak either with how far from the rad it is mounted.

Pretty much perfect really!

Oh, so you mean despite the distance, you think it will still suffer heatsoak even once you have shrouded the airflow to it?

Just cause of the way its such a "closed" environment under the fibreglass I assume?

Yeah, the heat has knowhere to go. Although to be honest they cool down really quick with a bit of airflow.

Daft suggestion maybe, as arguably it wont be stood still for long enough for it to matter, but what about a PC cooling fan just to ventilate it?

I tried fans on mine which worked OK for keeping the heatsoak down but had the negative effect on cooling as they blocked some of the airflow.
