[/URL]These are all standardish bits from Jetex. Standard 90 degree and 45 degree bends, collector and a shortened standard straight and then Ive welded a flange from the standard excel system up to the centre box / link pipe. I thought you would like to see them prior to bolting up, plus the underside of my car is nowhere near as clean as the engine bay.
Ive also been finishing off the cooling. A pair of these are going under the wheelarches.
[/URL]They are from an early fat elvis mini where they are fitted to the underside of the engine as a power steering cooling fan so are designed to take alot of heat and very harsh conditions. If you look in the wheelarch area in the excel there is a triangular gap near to the exhaust manifold, the theory is that cars generally only overheat in slow conditions and its alright having good fans on the radiator but these are going to extract heat from the engine bay and eject it thro the wheelarch and are wired into the standard cooling fan circuit to come on when the rad fans do. The only mods to the car from standard are the boltholes for these fans and a very small bit of fibreglass relieving under the bonnet that I would defy someone to spot, this is so that if the fancy took me I could return the car back to standard. Im also using water wetter and de-ionised water in the cooling system.
Im just powering up the oil system on the drill, so Im not far off firing it up ( hopefully )
