As said before, awesome effort there, Congratulations on a top outcome !

There is no such thing as a finished project car is there [88]

Simo,
Im running 2 x 10 inch Calibre Thermofans that i found at Super cheap. Not sure if they were less than 5.5. I used 2 so i didn't contact the water pulley and harmonic balancer etc in the middle of the radiator as you would by using a single fan. I can check later tonight. See attached photo for what i did.

I know its not as efficient as using a single fan, so i placed one fan close to the entry side of the radiator and one close to the exit to give it just that little bit more of a chance to cool the coolant down.

I also used the pull through fan setup to allow the front of the radiator to get a full surface area for cooling rather than blocking it with the fans. Its going to have enough trouble with the intercooler pre heating the air. I may eventually put a few airflow diverters in to compensate.
Im hoping the larger alloy radiator will be my saving grace

Tidy, what dimensions is your radiator? Thickness too.
I am going for the widest practically possible.

Mark,
The radiator is a KJ Radiator Industries unit.PN(KJ044A) Dimensions are 30mm core, 350mm high, 690mm wide. Fits in with exactly 2mm spare each side between the chassis rails and radiator cap clears the bonnet by about 20-30mm. Does require radiator shroud panel mods aswell.
I bought it off eBay (nrap - eBay username) through Ringwood Auto Parts in Victoria. Cost me $340. Its an sr20 alloy radiator that the Datsun boys use when doing sr20 conversions except with the inlet/outlet reversed.

Hope this helps

A few more interior shots with the gear shifter finished off. Shes clocked up just on 300 km's now on the Autometer electronic speedo. It feels like im driving a brand new car. [(#)]

very well put together car mate! love your work, did you have much trouble plumbing in the intercooler ...? custom jobbie...?

Cheers luke

g'day Luke,
Yep the intercooler plumbing was a b*tch. Had to go through the side walls of the engine bay then back into the front section just near the front lights under the guards. Ended up very neat and out of the way without cutting up the front of the car. The intercooler was a custom job by ICEMAN intercoolers in Newcastle. Works well and fits in without too much hassel. The Blue brigade dont spot it but people who have turbo cars do. A very sleepy look.
