Looks very very nice indeed matey. Does the bonnet fit??
CRAIGR - 16/5/08 at 12:55 PM
Looking good John
Did the new turbo cure the visibility problem
matt_claydon - 16/5/08 at 12:55 PM
Looks awesome!
What it the charge-cooler / rad you are using and how much did it cost? I'm going to need one for my Volvo install.
Mr Whippy - 16/5/08 at 12:59 PM
never heard of a chargecooler, why would you use that instead of an intercooler?

Space mainly. You have a water-cooled heat exchanger that cools the intake air after the turbo, this can be located anywhere convenient for the
large-bore plumbing. You then run small water pipes to a radiator in a good airflow. It's more complicated, more expensive and heavier, but
potentially provides much more cooling when packaging is tricky.
j30fos - where did you get the actual charge cooler from, looks like a tidy little unit.
j30fos - 16/5/08 at 01:12 PM

that is awesome, it is always nice to see something other than the normal installation, hope it goes as well as it looks
welderman - 16/5/08 at 08:03 PM
Thanks John, was a project and a half to do. You can scare the crap out of me next time you come up in it, glad it's all sorted now, and see you
monday
j30fos - 16/5/08 at 08:48 PM
you need to get yours sorted ASAP we need to sort out which is better BEC or 'T'CEC ;-) lol
Saying that though, mines a hybrid BEC chassis and CEC engine best of both worlds lol
