Was a bit worried when I read that you were considering keeping the original bmw rad.... i think the 1jz rad less problems. Can't really see your intercooler in the pics. Issit behind the a/c? Quite interesting that you have a fan there. Can fit inside the bumper?
So when will ur monster be ready? Should organize a tt for the members of the 'dark side'....

Cressidom;533575 said:Seech, The BMW Rad had 2 issues (for me) one was size - to big, the other was afraid of the expansion tank giving way and cracks etc. So that's why I went that setup.
My IC is sandwiched in between IC and Condenser, yes Bumper fits in well.
The engine G/box can push back more if required but I like it the way it's now (toyota setup), this way I can get access to the back of the Cyl head/block and G/box top side nuts.
JO & J..yes agreed on the TT either KL or S'ban boleh, I expect to get the car either tomorrow or Saturday. I' ve to do some 'heavy testing'.
Cheers

Cressidom;533644 said:Agreed on the rad. I wanted the engine as such for the access and more weight on the front wheels, traction. I've seen the Hydro fans fail before on my friends Supra with excess power. I did not want to suffer the same fate.
Testing is more to see that all systems are functioning properly.
We will need to catch up once my wheels are out from the shop. Need to 'compare notes'
