Just thought I’d share as I’ve got it running just in time for the good weather.
I still have some tidying to do, probably going to get the manifolds ceramic coated and have an oil cooler and oil accumulator to fit but for now I just want to drive it

The heat is managed by this bad boy, its a 3" core with twin 13" spal fans, and two otter switches,
It's actually running slightly too cold with a 74 deg stat but I'm going to wait till the weather warms up a bit before doing any changes

That’s gonna add some weight, joking. It’ll add a few kg at best. Might even help turn in at higher speeds. It all looks great.
What extra capacity actually is it.
Is this a first?
Seems like an obvious solution considering the state of tune.
What sort of hp does it have and well done.

The core is 76mm, the end tanks are 80mm x 34mm I’ve got a pre serp swirl pot,so no expansion tank. at a guess I have less coolant in the whole system but the radiator is more than double the efficiency of the original tvr rad.
HP wise I’m aiming for 550 but I haven’t put it on the dyno yet as I’m just running it in.
