yes i am aware that higher intake temps will lead to less horsepower, i was thinking he was more referring to a flow issue with a smaller cooler , im not having any temp issue as the highest recorded air temp ive had has only been 55 degrees on a 30 degree day on a series of full power runs. im just saying that whilst this sort of temp is ok, but with a smaller cooler air temps are likely to spike quicker and no doubt stay around longer due to the lack of surface area to which can be cooled by the air.

alright everyone thats interested.... the van is i guess you could call finished there is still plenty to but its mostly cosmetic stuff its going in for a tune hopefully tomorrow, just going to make sure everything is safe and working how it should
 
 
painted the intercooler black because when i put the grill on it didnt do anything to hide the chrome haha
 
needs a wheel alignment, to be lifted a little at the back, some bits where i fixed rust to be painted, seats re upholstered , door locks welded up and maybe a cd player(but the note of it is plenty good enough)
 
il slowly get to all the little things as im cruising it around but for now im going to enjoy it

As far as Jap motors in escort engine bays go... the cadet looks the best.
Nice work, I'm sure that will be fun to drive
