Supercharger + turbocharger + Alfa = faster rust
Discussion
This was a flyer my brother dummied up when we were going to get sponsorship from WOLF. They promised us the world (new ecu, free wiring and tune) and then never delivered...yet always said 'yeah yeah we'll get on it straight away'....that was 12 months ago and still nothing. I warn every person I can about Wolf's treatment of a customer who had previously bought 4 of their computers. My next computer will be Autronic...just working myself up to having to rewire the car again!
Gotta say I still don't quite get piston heads photo upload system...here's the radiator! ![](http://thumbsnap.com/sc/hIrdZGUw.jpg[/img]</a> <a href="http://thumbsnap.com/UL43SkBv" Target="_blank">[img]http://thumbsnap.com/sc/UL43SkBv.jpg)
Actually, looking back over these photos, I'd forgotten how much work went into the cooling system. I added the larger rad which required trimming back the rad surround, it was recored with a higher density fin per square inch (8mm vert. between fins), 3 thermo fans were added, an oil cooler was pilfered from a Saab turbo and flushed. Making it all fit was the challenge, with the oil cooler up behind the drivers side headlights, the intercooler in front of the radiator, the intake air filter behind the passenger head lights for cold air. I still have to duct it all so it all works to it's potential, as it stands it's good when road speed >60km/hr, below this on a 30deg day things get hot pretty quick, theres just no flow through the engine bay. I'll be pipeing air in, venting the inner gaurds and looking at a turbodelta style vented bonnet.
