Auxiliary Radiator Delete

[P_G]

It has a fair bit more grunt than yours already though Glenn due to the race cats and full hi flow stainless steel exhaust?

[Revolution]

yes, also driven it previously before he started at it again.

It was probably the last time the weather was decent and no rain was due

How you been finding the cold air feed?

[Jules]

After Luke asked about this i thought we could bump it up,have you got a picture of the engine bay Caldy,it would be nice to
see it close up with the red pipes and paint work

Cheers

Thanks Caldy

That looks really good,loving the screen wash cap etc,how is the paint holding up and i'm guessing it was a special
heat resistant paint used

Cheers

[edge]

Hows the CAF holding up also?

[caldy]

Everything working:

Catch can a waste of time - virtually empty but as I didn't split original hoses I can revert to stock

Manifold was powder coated - paint still perfect

Cold air feed fine but I'll change it over the winter and smarten it up by making a mould for the grille- it's the only part that you can see. Oil temps rise to 105+ when pressing on but quickly fall back

Caps are from jcapsonline.com

cool, so no real negative effect on the car being one aux rad down

I was going to ask what the can caught...
pretty much water? with a bit of oil? or basically nothing at all?
and the can still fed the cyclone seperator?

[caldy]

Correct Arthur - can is virtually empty. It's in series between the valve covers and the cyclones.

thanks, interesting
sounds like the valve cover baffles are pretty effective, and what little that does get through is reduced further by the cyclone
blow-by can't be much of a factor at all in deposit formation

There is enough space to relocate the aux radiator ->























So long,

[adsgreen]

Not sure you'll gain much there. The main radiator is the same circuit as the aux so putting one infront of the other doesn't feel right.

Holy thread revival!
