I'm wondering if anyone has a pic of a successful Radiator mounting inside the engine bay, Thinking along the lines of mounting where the motor compartment lid would be. or just below it with the rain below removed, or a 914/6 gt engine lid(the kind with two grill panels instead of the normal half sheet and grate) Just really wanted to see How much ducting people have used to get decent temps running a subaru motor. I really don't want to have to cut up the front of the car. I am not afraid to fab, and have a subaru legacy radiator that is 3/4 the width of the engine bay opening.
Just a thought. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) |

............I suppose NONE of these people ever thought about how intake temperature directly affects horsepower output....this is why it,s so important to have good engine compartment seals,and under chassis air deflectors.
