Hi all,
hope you had a wonderful holidays
I have installed the new alloy radiator and 600 x 300 x 75 intercooler into the car.
The rad now sits in the spare tyre well on an angle past the now removed radiator support and very front bulkhead/firewall where the radiator normally sits, we now get huge amounts of airflow and the car comes in after a 10 lap race of 4-6 mins at full noise in 2nd gear at 100 - 110 deg c --- wihoo the lowest the car has ever run before.
The new intercooler sits in the rear window of the rollcage downtube from the hoop to the rear strut tops of the car, again after a race the inlet is nearly to hot to touch but the outlet is still cold, we still have a small amount of fabrication to do to force more air throught the intercooler instead of around it but it rocks car is now runs 12-14 psi of boost.
We also went racing at meremere dirt track our home track and thought we will see how the car goes and do some testing and tuning of suspension, tyre pressures and boost. I think we have nearly nailed the setup as we made division 1, you can only win the weekend if if you get into here, the placed 3 rd overall, beating of the 600hp v8 super saloon, some other very fast space framed v8's, sixes, turboed rotors and soem very quick 4 cylinder cars.
Thanks to all you guys here at the forums we now have a very quick mk1.5.
If the forum wasnt here and would never have made the car.
TWOBRUTAL NOW HAS ITS FIRST OFFICAL 3NZ FROM MEREMERE DIRT TRACK CLUB. - I'LL KEEP THE TROPHY THO.
I now get to run the number 3 on my car at next years nats
