charge cooler hard pipes done

[xrtim]

After a 12 hour stint down the garage today I have finally completed the stainless hard pipes for the charge cooler's, I will check for leak's next week and then see if the Davies Craig has enough power to lift lift the water to the charge cooler's (hope so there's not enough room for a larger pump) and back to the radiator, I've got a spare sensor left on the Megasquirt so I think that's going on the radiator outlet.
Made the pipes that you see on top of the engine symmetrical so they look nice despite causing a headache to make and package in the space left

Radiator sits over the fuel tank where the oil cooler radiator is normally fitted.

Are you linking the charge coolers to the engine cooling system? I did a stand alone system on my last car totally isolated from the engine cooling circuit.

Its a stand alone system

Height of the system is irrelevant to the pump. With the system full the pump is just moving it around.
Same principle as San Francisco cable cars.The weight of cable cars on one side of the hill balance the weight of cars on the other side.

^ But do the hot cars weigh less then the cold cars?

wow!
incredible work!
I'm curious to know how it will go for an hour of td

cooling radiator trial fit looks to be in the right place, need to order some more 38mm hose to attach the top of the rad, fit the fan and wiring then I can give it a test to see if it works. I'm going to have a go at making a heat shield to cover all of the exhaust and see if I can vent direct via some chimneys to the top clam vents, Nimbus heat shield looks to be ideal. Need to do a repair to the charge cooler as the Helicoil has come out but that can wait until the engine comes back out for the final time to finish off the engine wiring loom and hopefully the body fit (will have to get that ordered once I decide on the colour))
