Now sorting the intercooler to tophat pipe :-

Also fitted the alloy radiator, however one of the water pipes for the waterjacket for the turbo is a little too close to the rad - I'm speaking to Paul at Roose Motorsport to see if there is anything we can do to sort this!

Need to sort out some oil cooler pipes and plumb in the guages and we are nearly ready for a crank!

Joff

oooohh, aaaahhh, wow!

i think that just about covers it lol

Looks ace, could you not just bend the 90 deg elbow abit more?

Ash

cant u just prise the L shape metal bend up a little?

great work looks great mate

what about moving rad back a touch?

Need a few more pipes on that Joff! Certainly will raise eyebrows even just with the bonnet up.

Keep it up.

WOW! looks awesome. can't wait to see it in the flesh!:thumb:

joff cant you just put abit of heat on the elbow to take the bend over 90 degrees\? job done!

nice job mate rebuilding my nova now going turbo'd sorry to pick ur brain got a few questions for ya how did u get the intercooler to sit flat and the geabox mount(the body one) is it the same one or have u bought the mount kit the one u weld up and is it hard sorry about this in a bit of a pickle over it cheers

You could rotate the chra slightly to move the water pipe closer to the engine. Either that or try and sort out the correct turbo to pipe union for the water pipe as that one looks far longer than any i have ever had on a KKK.

The front panel has been cut back to accomodate the larger intercooler - see pic below :-

The F28 mount is mostly bespoke fabrication - here's a pic of how its all mounted together :-

Hope this answers the questions.
