awsome results mate, drop us a pm with your number as i have lost it, if your still going to pod next weekend :thumb:

they sound good to me.

I wont be at pod this weekend.

The inlet has gone in to have a couple of bits done to it, awaiting the new cylinder head from SBS.

And this is my new side project so to speak:

Still having trouble with overheating, so I bought a large intercooler, cut the boost pipes off, going to have a 5mm ally plate welded over there, and then my radiator fitting where i require them.

Few pics:

So your replacing the rad with a ic, that should work yes.
But i've gotta say i'd look in to why you have such a prob with heat, when others have no probs...

I think its just the turbo sits so cose to the rad, its fine when driving along, its just s soon as i hit traffic...

What does it get to on the gauge? Can you fit another fan on there? It is ucking the air yeah? Not blowing, i know its stupid.

not going down to pod either as fenny's car went tits up :cry:

what have you had done to the cylinder head buddy, sound like a good plan with the rad lol

have you sorted that ******* cross member out yet ??? :thumb:

What happened to fennys?

Solid lifters and double valve springs on my new head.

Yeh welded another 2x2 box section in front of it, and stitched them together. Hence why I now cant fit in the Vectra radiator...

either the relife valve was stuck open on the oil pump an cause the big end to heat up or the end caps on the road were on the wrong way round, either way its trashed :cry:

cross member sounds good looking forward to seeling how the rad comes out ??? look forward to see it again :thumb:

I can now run 2 bar of boost, that is all :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
