Have you thought about using MG TF under floor coolant pipes? Can get stainless one quite cheaply too


cheers mate but l was going to use copper plumbing pipe, simple and cheap tbh

You are going to have real trouble keeping the charge rad cool looked into it hence why I have 5 rads on my charge system to keep the temps acceptable it needs to have very good airflow personally I'd have a front mount charge rad I can fit a twin core rad and a charge rad with lots of space remembering I've got Brum grill which takes up loads of space !


i know nothing of charge cooling but i wouldnt go twin core on a rad, a single fat core will disapte more heat as the second pass gets much hotter air so doesnt cool and its a vicous circle.


Car rad is twin core charge rads are single core

Location: sittingbourne, kent		Made my scoop today at work, decided im going to have the radiator laying flat on the bottom of the spare wheel well. Just need to get the radiator mounted in this weekend then form the top half of the channel for the air to exit out the rear.

Location: sittingbourne, kent		Sorry but no pictures yet! will try get some at the weekend.

But its all up and running well has been since the end of December.
lm very happy with the result of the turbo engine and ZandF map all very quiet and smooth power.
Charge cooler rad is in the spare wheel well laying flat with my scoop welded underneath and exit hole at the rear. The cooler barrel stays cold to the touch in the engine bay and the hottest i have had the water after a bit of lead foot action is luke warm at best and thats with out the help of a fan.

lm running standard metro radiator, which unfortunatly is not really up to the job so will fit the Talon rad i have. Other then that it has all fitted well and still looks like a normal metro mk3

I bet you can't wait to get it down Santa pod, any guesses how quick she might be down the quarter?

Location: sittingbourne, kent		l dont know what power its putting out, but its quite a big difference compared to my old vvc especialy the amount of torque. Lm still running a 2" exhaust which is probably a little small for it so will be getting a custom 2.5 from turbo back as the standard turbo downpipe looks large but has a insert inside which makes 1 3/4" inside diameter

Yes Dylan look forward to beating you again l recon i could do a 13.6 or 13.5 quarter mile if i launch her right.

Ok, but for 25 you have to beat 13.8.......money well spent if you do as iirc that will be the quickest 1/4 mile time

And the bet is for the year not just Feb meet and needs video evidence.

Location: sittingbourne, kent		Cheers all! still got loads of little bits and bobs to do like enclosed filter routed back to my heater box, 255 fuel pump along with a turbo back exhaust. VVC inlet mani not too sure on, as i would thought the miss match to inlet ports may slow the flow but will try in the near future. Freddie the twin arb i feel makes a nice difference, though muzza's way of fitting the mgf front arb i think would be a better option as they are larger dia and saves chopping up the rarer Gti arb.

Sean looking good, but get it dirty ffs

You don't need to upgrade the fuel pump unless your going north of 275bhp and your double arb worked a treat and easier than the front.mgf

Location: sittingbourne, kent		lt was dirty lol i hadn't polished it since summer last year. The map is set to have 3.5 bar, the pump is doing it but you can hear it struggle when you turn ignition it primes slowly. Daz has a 255 pump in his and the pump is just cruising with no strain at all. So best to be safe.
