March 25, 2017 at 11:55 pm #22165Is your radiator like a vl turbo one or larger?
What bottom hose did you use if you can remember.. Mine has a kink in it once it got warm and the shape changed so want to swap it to something that is the right shape.
Cheers

Well, the bonnet cost me $50 with the hole already cut. It was mainly to get me through summernats when i was running low on cash. And nah, big filters look stink. It’s actually getting a 4″ cowl for street duties.
Yep, i’ll be there. I’ll be the tall dude with curly hair and glassesIs your radiator like a vl turbo one or larger? What bottom hose did you use if you can remember..

Mines a custom made one by South Coast Radiators in NSW.
My inlets are on opposing sides so i get a full 3 passes in the radiator to cool it down.
I use:
Ch5472 – upper (off a ve)Ch3585 – lower (off a patrol)

Posts: 206I couldn’t have asked for a better first night at Calder Park.Raven ran 10.92 @ 127, 1.77 60′ straight off the trailer.PB of the night was a 10.73 @ 128. 1.64 60′Time to chase a number and see what we can come up with.The car will stay as is for the Holden Nationals at Heathcote, and during the winter the box will come out and a looser convert will be put in. it was unfortunately a bit tight for for the combo. apart from that, zero issues which is always a good day.Many Many thanks to:Matt Smoors, Christy McGill, Scott McCafferty, Cameron Jones, Jess Handbrake, Jason Kenny, Daniel Deering, Adam Harrison, Casey Automotive, Next Gen Race CarsPhoto Credit Peter Fergadiotis and thanks for the push- This reply was modified 7 years, 7 months ago by Bdj_007.
