B18C4 engine in their build?

does anyone have B18C4 engine in their build?

I have a B18C4 in my MiniMojo, a Sylva Mojo based chassis with a mini shell.

Was just wondering how you plumb in for coolant?

on the zcars they run two metal (copper?) pipes under the car to the rad at the front.

rad at front has a filler cap so you can remove any air that end then a header tank in the rear.

That's what I did; I have a very similar layout to yours.

I have to ask - is it a std mojo chassis, and how much have you had to stretch/widen the mini!!

shortened mojo chassis by 80mm
90mm longer Fibre-glass front end by ABS

wish i'd not bothered shortening chassis, could have lost the 80mm in the shell.
