Rumcajs Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Your is a dream purchase, nothing I'd like more than to come across a vehicle like that. I see you've also added sliders/steps as well. Have you still got a stock exhaust on that thing? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dye-04 Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 New inlet manifold design 15L water meth tank underway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glort Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 I'd vent that meth tank clear of the vehicle as possible. Meth will boil out at 65 and on a nice hot day sitting next to the exhaust, I think it would get there pretty easy especially after a nice long heat soak. Even at 50 it will give off plenty of fumes and you sure as hell don't want them coming back in the cab or anywhere in the engine bay they could ignite. Beautiful fabrication on the tank and manifold. Wish I had those sort of skills and ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dye-04 Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Thanks for the tip Glort, once the new turbo is installed, i might have to chop a bit off the tank. I will be sure to vent the tank somewhere safe. As for the fab skills, I'm really only a beginer, I bought myself a Tig, watched some videos on you tube and taught myself.

Dye-04 Posted August 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Twin 10" Thermo's installed, Hopefully it will keep cooler temps low and help out the A/C Condenser now its completely blocked by the cooler. 15mm Thick high density foam to direct the air straight from the Thermo fans onto the A/C condenser Trial fittment whilst i start to fab up some brackets to hold it in place.

BigGQWesty Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) So your still running the belt driven fan and 2 10" thermo fans?? Why not disconnect the belt driven one and put the 2 10 in the rear? But I like the snorkle. Is that 3 or 4" Edited August 11, 2012 by BigGQWesty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dye-04 Posted August 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 There is a large gap between the A/C condenser and the radiator. If i put the 10" thermos on the radiator it wouldnt really draw the air through the cooler condenser and radiator all at once. My background is turbo petrol engines, from my experience with them, nothing beats the factory engine fan. I had to put 3 x 10" electric fans on my last car just to take the place of one engine fan. So I'm going to leave the standard fan there for now and see what happens The snorkel is 4" from Millweld. Its great! It took me about 30mins to fit it.

BigGQWesty Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Fair call. Factory fans move some air... And nice job on the snorkle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
