This car kills me with its sexiness.

it just plain old trys to kill me 

Hi Mish, what size intercooler are you using??..is it a custom job or from a particular car?
car looks awesome..fantastic job you have done!!
cheers mate,
Ben

Thanks for the kind words
as for the cooler it is just a generic cheapo ebay intercooler, thing its about 400mm wide and about 340mm high, i was about the biggest i could fit using silicon elbow joins and keeping the std bonnet latching assembly.
could fit a much larger cooler is it had inlets welded to the backside of end tanks and run non std latches, but this one flows plenty and still give the radiator some fresh un heated air.

PS. actually went and started this today...still runs :) winner
 
then put it back in shed. no broken gearboxes for me :)

thanks Mish,
what thickness is the intercooler???...did you have to cut anything to make fit as mine seems to be a really small area to fit anything??
cheers,
ben
 

sorry about the late reply have been on holidays, from memory the cooler is about 65mm thick. had to chop out the rad support bracket that runs down the middle, then mounted the cooler either side so it acted like a replacement kind of. it was a tight. ive spaced my rad back a touch to allow a little air gap between the cooler and rad as i have that luxury given my engine is mounted further back also.
 
heres a few pics i found from the build, hope they help a little
 

 

 

Well car finally went back onto the dyno again tonight, this time it was the big boy tune.
took things slowly increasing boost 1 psi at a time until i felt it no longer necessary to push any harder
 
end result was
230rwkw @21psi
235rwkw @22psi
 
Alll tuning was done on 98ron pump fuel, could have pushed it out a touch further but didnt  feel the need to do so.
Big thanks goes out to Frank @ AllSparks Performance for the dyno time and the late night.
