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!!

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

Marty

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.

      So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.

      Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on

      Just did this job on my 32 with the boost doc kit. was quite simple to fit, hardest part was getting the rubber bungs back on the firewall. does anyone know how the heater will work now without the flap in the bend? Will I just have a heater on 24/7 now?
