If the headers clear the top chassis rails, I think the rest would probably fit. Go on, you know you want to give it a try!

You might also want to invest in a large quantity of under-bonnet heat absorber too!

Was going to post it myself -



Was fitted in a concours xr4i. Twin turbo.

Talked to the owners pal who reckoned on 400hp. Although it was concours, had mirrors underneath cool it was driven there and also went round the Ring a couple of weeks ago.

Dedication!

As Wiz says, most motorsport companies will sell them. But ACT http://www.actproducts.co.uk/shop/cooling-hose-kit... do a kit of all the correct lengths and shapes for S's - £150+

May get some. I think the engine posted above is basically what I wanted to do with my S engine, twin turbos and LOTS of power. It'll take some work, but I'd love to see it done.

Put another at the other end, I was thinking to get rid of those bloody awfull corrugated pipes that are std fitment plus it may be able to be routed a bit better away from the manifolds

Well if anyone has £500+ they can have a go as there is a Turbo Technics 2.9 EFI on Ebay, not in quite as good condition as the one in the above pics.
