nice one dude bet your stoked 14 sec is super quick for a van!!!! my old mk1 20vt was over 200bhp and weighed nothing and fastest it ever ran at the pod was 14.4 so at 14.3 is mega for a bay all that work and the set backs were worth it in the end  _________________ 1964 rat 13 window deluxe 1Z tdi,

Thanks Rich i'll post some pics up when i get chance.
I was really pleased with the feature but as you.ve said they can never actually show the amount of effort or heartache put in to a project. |

HI
very good job ! I have a question , what is the temp of your coolant with the rad on this position ? and the flow of your fans ?
I didn t see if you collect air from the front to the rad....

| The temp normally sits at 86-87 when on a roads but on motorways at sustained speeds of 70+ ;-) a little higher up to 90ish and the rad is ducted from the front. |
