nice mate. I must say I'm a bit shocked by the size of the coolers!! will be a fair bit of weight up front. is it really necessary to have that much core? for a big power street car I could see it but for a track car that really seems like a lot.

love the custom front end etc though. :)

Its to keep options open for the car.. eg. 20 lap races etc.

Also, they probably look heavier than they are.

The front end will be much lighter than stock ;)

I would have to agree with beer baron, but i was looking at the snow plough the air going to have to pass through, the frontal area of the cores looks huge. A V mount set up was not considered?

loving the build and all the excellent work you guys are doing.

Hi Guys

Hard thing with build up threads is that you never see the whole picture, when the front body shell is on the car all will be revealed, the coolers where designed with one thing in mind Aero and thus the entry and exit of the ducting going to the cooler is very important. So yes with no body on it, it may look excessive but in reality it will produce very impressive down-force numbers. Also don't be deceived by the cooler they are all PWR's new light weight design.

cool. that makes sense. I know the cores are super light, it's the fluid inside them that's heavy!

and yeah I know with bodywork on and proper ducting frontal area as presented to the airflow is much reduced. I still think you'll find you just don't need that much cooling. having said that I'm sure the guys are on top of things and have done their sums.

either way can't wait to see it. time is ticking away!!

Hey guys just a teaser of some of the fab we have been doing!! we are getting there hopefully we will get a noise out of it very soon.

Better be careful driving it in summer... might have overheating problems! :-P

F***ing incredible work!

Amazing work guys....

Good luck today (hopefully your there :thumbsup: )

Nope. Still waiting for the carbon guy. Everything else is right to go but have no front clip. This is holding everything up and it's just one delay after another from him. Only have a week left and doubt Drew will be able to test it at all. It's fcuking pathetic with the amount of money spent to be let down like this.

Cheers

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
