Mini Man,

Very sneaky but top job. Well done with the conversion. I love the colour and body kit too.

It appears the exhaust manifold is not standard ?? What sort of turbo are you running?

How are you finding the position of the radiator and cooling, is it working?

Dan

Hi Dan
ive been watching your car come along and it looking great
the turbo which i'm running is garrett gt17 about the same as t25 but smaller external diamensions
the radiator so far is cooling but it hasn't been road tested yet but have confidence that it will work has a electric water pump at the back to help the mechanical one
I'm close to the engineering stage about 2/3 weeks

Angelo

finally i get to see what you have been upto angelo :D

Looks great mate, love the inlet manifold, who did that? that raditor and fuel system look great too mate, job well done.

Gt17 is a perfect turbo for this motor, There is heaps around as the saab 95 had oil problems and removed them all from there motors, only thing is most have bung seals, i had one on mine when i first built it but seals where dead on it, and after another 2 dead gt17's i gave up and got the t25. IF you find your motor is blowing smoke its more then likely the gt17.

Stock ecu? any dyno runs yet?

brad.

Looks damn nice

Questions:

Whats forcing air through the radiator?
Whats the air inlet temps like with the intercooler?
Where is your battery?
No Spare tyre, don't you guys have annual inspections?
