SubscriberHmmm - twin snorkels - hadn't noticed them before??Originally Posted by rovercare
Its looking awesome!!
Which size is the I/C radiator? If its a Frozenboost one I'm guessing the 24x12x1 size?

Yea, not long fitted, Drivers for the engine, passenger for the heater intake
No, I decided against the frozenboost as for another $5-600 I got a plazmaman set up, its "rated" at 800HP for a petrol, the rad is 22"+fittings x 12" x 1 1/2"

SubscriberI'd forgotten it was a Plazmaman setup. Explains why I couldn't find an intercooler on the the Frozenboost site that looked like yours..doh!
Similar size radiator to the F/B one, but 50% thicker.
Any reason you wanted a snorkel for the heater intake - apart from keeping water out of it?

Theory on the second snorkel is, it won't take any air in, unless the fan is on, that way it negates the need for air flaps, also, now I've found out about heated front screens, I hopefully won't need a demister, so turn fan on, warm air comes out, turn fan off, air flow stops, nice and simple

Had been wondering what I should do with my original 200tdi snorkel that's now on the wrong side...maybe it shouldn't go on ebay just yet....
Would also solve the problem of draining the water that currently collects in the blower snail housing....and get rid of the big duct that comes down from the top of the guard to the blower ...and...and...

SubscriberIs that red hose a rocker cover vent line to your provent?Controller for Vane change over
Whats your plan for the return line back from the provent - or are you just going to run it open to atmosphere?
Steve

Yea, rocker cover to provent, just atmosphere, see what its like, can easily plumb it into the intake, provent is mounted to the side of the heater box

Fantastic build Matt: BigThumb: I really like it. Is the Isuzu out of your Rangie?
OldBushie
anymore progress, i've given you a few days off so you should be nearly finished
OldBushie
Quick update, its moving, not finished though so no town driving yet
3" exhaust fitted, I had the actuator for the variable vane the wrong way, so need to make another bracket and source an 18psi can
With the vane in the lower position the thing is a rocket, it has enough torque to easily pull away in second, 5.5 turns out on the fuel screw and not alot of smoke at all, I think the turbo is going to be awseome with the intercooler
EGT's are 560 pre turbo, but that's merely on the flat, so once the actuator is sorted I'll get some heavy load tuning in
Oh, take off in second, shift to 4th bypassing 3rd and away we go
and the brakes! can lock 35's on dry bitumenfar better than rangie which couldn't lock, hardly even on gravel
Inlet manifold gasket leaks with boost, sump leaks
The ECU for the air suspension crapped itselfbut they sent me a newie overnight and now its working a treat, air suspension definately needs different valved shockies, Quadrant have told me $300 a corner for billies valved to suit and to my lenghts
Did I mention the torque!
