16 injector manifold

Many thanks Humble and 845ste
A rough measure up and a search on the net has found a 2,3 and 4 core heat exchangers 310mm high x 465mm long and 85mm thick (4 core sizes) that will fit in the side pod. I have also forgot that I have an air feed above the engine that I could use to duct air to another heat exchanger above the engine right where the charge cooler water intakes are, and I can duct the heated air back out the cooling vents in the rear clam that would make for a really simple and straight forward installation to increase the cooling.
845ste did you do the initial megasquirt tuning to get the engine running, if so how easy was it and how long did it take you? I'm trying to get mine running before the year is out mind you I said that last year.

Much as I admire your engineering skills and desire to be different (I like different) I am wondering about your wisdom!
My LS7 engined Ultima is tractable on the road with care. Another 100hp (675ish) would probably be the limit on what you can safely use. I am not shy of using the loud pedal but the thought of a turbo engine adding torque in buckets just at the wrong moment would reduce the driving enjoyment.
An Ultima is not the ideal starting point for this type of build (IMO). It will end up a 'point and squirt' car which you may be happy with.
I still applaud your efforts/skills but think you may find the result a bit of a disappointment.

I intend to have a fully useable and tractable ultima. The goal is to have variable boost in each gear fully controllable via the ecu. Full boost will only be available when the car and I can take it.
I can run different power levels as the mood takes me. I'm looking forward to feel what 1hp+ per kg feels like. I may not like it but I will have been there and done it

Hello xrtim, this is my car setup:
http://v8yes.altervista.org/www.v8yes.co.uk/17.htm...
Works perfectly, a low thickness radiator on front of the engine cooling one keep cold the chargecooler water.

Great job, love what you have done, where have you been when I've been looking for advice, there's quite a few similarities in the way I'm building mine. Do you know what the charge cooler rad is from or where you got it from and does it maintain a steady water temperature in the charge cooling circuit when under boost. Aluminium Tig welding made me chuckle, did exactly the same thing with the t shirt and UV burns

My car is built by David Pulford, I have see here some years ago and find one more time this winter..... I have make a offer...Great job, love what you have done, where have you been when I've been looking for advice, there's quite a few similarities in the way I'm building mine.

IF you need I look if I find info about front rad! This solution have disturbed air flow for sure but with Evans waterless cooling liquid I never see tempo upper 96°C

Thanks for the information, looks to be a very well built car. I will see if I can find a charge cooler rad the same size, it may be from Pace as a kit IF you need I look if I find info about front rad!
