mjrstar Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 One thing to consider is turbo Dorito often run a lot of oil cooler capacity which probably helps maintain engine temps.. you might be ok so long as airflow isn't compromised, and ducting is well sealed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpr Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 as above, will be fine long as has airflow through it. big reason for cooling issues is air either goes around radiator, or has no where to get out the other side 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tortron Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Someone's been watching Thai bike mechanics turning aircon pumps into engines Also an aussie made something similar using thr wave thingo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 The problem I see is, if the cylinder miss fires, theres nothing to pull the piston down the bore, and it would lose contact with the wavy thing. From there, theres probably no recovery? Also I dont get how it starts without the combustion to keep the follower in contact with the ramp??? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighLUX Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 So yeah scratch that idea for a FC radiator working. Got the motor sitting as far back as possible and iv only got 40ish mm between the front of the 1G supercharger clutch and the the front panel of the engine bay. Lots of room for a radiator but its got to fit the drivers side of the engine bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjrstar Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Can you fit it inside of the radiator support rather than behind it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Option A is a no because its not a trophy truck Option B is the next best option but still dubious of cooling capacity, I want to do skids without it turning into a kettle instantly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Il get a couple of pics next time im at the ute showing what I have to work with. Its a bit of a tricky one as cutting out radiator support cuts most of the front panel of the body. Im limited by height because of the chassis in the way under the body the bonnet at the top and headlight supports at the sides. Going to a non electro clutch on the SC would get me alot more space but how am I supposed to have a GO BABY GO button the top of the gearstick if I loose that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfashark Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 5-pot Audi - S4/S6 would work. They're made to sit on the left, but some handy work with a Tig and the outlets would point the right way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a YouTube video which shows it a bit better, there's another wave shaped part that pulls the piston back down 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
