    at the mo a standard LET is all I have planned nothing major as I just want an everyday car with sugar honey iced tea loads of powerrrrr more of a GT car rather than a racer.

    But have possible plans for A/C so need the extra room for a second radiator plus its a snowplough so need the room.

    Yeah its gonna be interesting at least, need to also consider the intercooler too. It's gonna be challenging but I have a feeling it can be done.

    Im sure people on here will try help guide you on with it.

    small update, couldnt find any alloy strip to make as my intercooler bracketry, so i had an inch x 850mm 2mm thick metal cut for me. To save time with cutting the smaller tabs to weld to it, i cut the old ones off and welded them in postion. looks much more neater than the other one. also cut some racey looking holes.lmao.



    tomorrow i will sort out my turbo to cooler boost hoses and ive got a 7inch fan to test fit.

    is there anything else i should mock up before i take the engine back out??

    Think you've got it all done dude.


    Tek,
    Would say its alot thicker than the frontera one... And i think you'll struggle for room..

    Thought it looks a bit bigger. I know its not going to be easy Benn but never say never.

    Will have to think around it. For starters what is the minimum size/spec for a LET intercooler?

    Hope so benn

    Tek-the coolers 80mm thick,would have thought the frontera ones thinner. Whats the standard LET cooler like? Sure its smallish as I saw a nova down at the fast show that had one mountd above the gearbox, was very crammed an didnt look the best.

    Would give you room for your condenser then.
