Oil Cooler arrived today,
had to mod the brackets a bit as it was touching the intercooler,
will see if it clears with the new brackets tomorrow night.

well had a result tonight,
by modding the oil cooler brackets it now just clears the intercooler,

view of the intercooler through the capri lowwer valence cut outs,

One of the mounting brackets, needs tidying up, edges and corners rounding off.

And at last intercooler bolted in and in place using its own mounting points,

next job is to cut away part of the valence crossmember box secion to clear the rad and fans,

Snow drifted up the door and i thought sod it,
New Rad is ordered though

Well had a better day today,
managed to bend and cut the bonnet brackets around and bend the catch mech and now the catch works and clears the intercooler,
Coils packs have arrived, (Thanks Rossco)

the cross member is cut out to clear the fans, and have a rough idea on a cooling fan bracket,

Have you got much much bigger injectors yet?
Is your fuel pump a powerful aftermarket device?
Are your fuel feeds up to it?

Do you have a lot of petrol stations on the way to work

thanks
Phil

also spark plugs?
running NGK 6's at present, 7? 8? 9's?

7's would be plenty cold.

Not honestly sure why standard TVR's etc run 8's though. That seems ludicrously cold.

run a slightly recesed electrode like we do on nitrous?

stevieturbo · Post by **stevieturbo** » Sun Feb 03, 2013 12:19 pm

the recessed electrode is pretty much dictated by the heat range.

HiStevie They dont run an 8. They use B7ECS

Speaking to NGK recently these are considered to be racing plugs
