you could have had all my intercooler pipes 1/2 an hour ago!
I went chop chop on them

the car didn't cope to well with the heat on the track so I am putting in the aircon fan and run it with the thermo fan for double the cooling power
unfortunatly the pipes had to be remodeled!

to late now though!

and besides that I am re routing the air filter etc and doing all the heat shield crap that I never did before!

hopefully will over come all the heat problems!

From experience with the race car, it's likely you are going to need an auto radiator or a PWR alloy one. I went the whole hog and got the PWR. Perhaps an oil cooler too. If you decide on the the later, we've found a very cheap kit.....$200.

already got a 53mm custom made radiator by mwa!(PWR Core)
the oil cooler is also on the adgenda we are currently fitting a fan forced cooler on to cas's brothers XR6T (well we fitted the cooler but now we are fan forcing it!)

I will probably do the same so I don't have to put it in the air duct out the front. but it would look cool out there!!

mind pm'ing me the details?

Ryno.
