and this may sound stupid to some people but i thought it was a ok idea. if you made brackets couldnt you mount your cooler/s under the car if theyre wasnt enough room?
best of luck mate this build will look amazing when its finshed any idea wehat bhp you'll be running at??
OR you could multi layer your head |
Yeh I'm going to need to think something up to make sure the radiator is okay and the car can sit in traffic fine without any worries.
I'll play about with it whilst the front end if off the car.
Toy'd about with the idea of having the radiator where the spare wheel would go, but the front of the car isn't
that cramped enough to warrant doing it really. I might end up with the radiator or intercooler at an angle facing the ground and then some sort of duct - no rush yet to decide, just got to do a bit of research and see what I can do !!
I won't be needing to multi layer the head, it'll have low compression pistons and I'll fit a repair j4 headgasket so will be more than enough!!
Power is a hard one tbh - I think deep down I'd lover 300atw, but realistically anything over 250 would be awesome !!!
