Are you looking at mounting the intercooler inside the engine bay in front of the radiator?

[Casey-G]

Well no not really.. its kinda complicated actually

[foamy]

Do tell . I figured being on your P's you would want it as stealth as possible. With the correct type of inter cooler and radiator it should work reasonably well...

[Casey-G]

only got a few more months of "P plate rules which i follow with the up most of respect" lol jk boosted car for 80% of my P's


the radiator will sit where it ends up, should still have quite a bit of room once its done.
Im using 2 X 3 inch core intercoolers with the end tanks removed and the cores welded together then modifying the end tanks to suit as if to make one "big" IC out of the pair, inclusive of brackets it will take up approx 180-190mm + rad @ 50mm core, so i should still have heaps of room for fanage.

Well... finally got home today, only spent a little bit of time on it tonight as it was dark by the time i got down the shed.

basically the engine mounts are in, inlet manifolds been chopped and the wiring has been semi attacked to remove all the dodgy driving light circuits that were half in it.

Mounts in:



ready for some fab work:




4 days off should see a fair amount get done ^_^





oh also, since im driving the old boys landcruiser as a daily im scoping out a new daily of my own... so technically its not toyota and basically its a r32 GTR but i wont spoil the surprise of what it is till its in my name

[Casey-G]

Well, didn't get as much as i wanted done but did get a fair bit done over the break.

couldn't really update over the weekend as the guys were doing updates


Didnt really get round to the car till about 2pm, this saw me make up the coil pack bracket finally, fidly fucking shit that it was i guess it come out okay(ish)..








Need to make some new leads i reckon, probs something decent like an msd kit or the likes


shit from the other day:

mad rig bro

[Casey-G]

Thanks mate

[lolwat]

coils look good man you got skills, BUT (there's always a BUT XD) have you thought of mounting them in cabin so a cleaner look in engine bay????

[Casey-G]

All the relays and such will be inside, the wiring is no where near complete however as it is the wires are in about the right spot..


personally i don't give a shiznit about looks, but ill take that on board..

but mounting the coils in the cab? how on earth will you be able to keep all the interference they generate away from the sensor wiring and the wide band and such? Its a pretty important thing to consider, thats all
