scooby powered bay.

Sorry chap didn't think of running a in-line NRV, never done it that way tbh so wouldn't know what to say bud... Got to be worth ago buddy, but if you get running probs then that would be the place to look... Good luck dude keep us well posted..

loads of bits and bobs done today
ecu mounted,fuel lines cut to size and placed in correct places, switch in dash to over ride rad's to come on, wire's secured and hidden under van, needed to clean the floor so dopped the van dwn and rolled it forward. i think i may have some issues. For now im going to get the van running see what happens, and may take the scoop off move the rad further back and try direct the air against convection, using a diffuser to force it down through the rad.





anyway doing cam belt tomorrow, ordering a header bottle and try and have a go at mounting the engine so i can weld the engine mounts.

Dude looking good....very jealous!!

jamo like i said at the meet mate, big respect.... awesome.

Looking good, BUT, I don't think that air scoop for the rad would last the first day of you being on the road......it's too low. You need to relocate it higher up Buddy.

Sh1t dude i don't reckon it'll even make it to the road once the engine ect are all fitted and the suspension settles back down... Are you sure it can be spun round and mounted between the chassis rails??

Love your work....but agree with the kid ^^^^ WHS

sorry mate, but i also think the same as them 3 but didnt wana say anything in my earlier post as I know your adamant you want it there.... hmm...

It wont fit in between the chassis rails because its not the size of the rad thats the prob, its the fans behind it that sit it that low. Jammo, the other options would be use slim line fans, or try and mount two smaller radiators somewhere?! Gonna be tricky to get over the problem but things are never easy!

strap them to the front with zip ties.... they're the way forward y'know

ignoring hight issues at mo, ideas are coming but not a defo yet, i might for know have to do the unthinkable and rase the van a spline on the back and a few inches on the front.
todays progress:
been shopping



now this is how i want my van to sit!!!

Good job nerd!
Where did you get the air filter and silicones from in the end?

chav parts weston, i mean motor parts weston. cost me a arm and a leg.

Nice work mate, you are really cracking on with this transplant. Looking forward to seeing it running fella.

Just tried ringing you dude, me and dad have got to out to look at a job in clevedon later so when we get back (8ish?!) we will pop over and see your mounts. Dad says he will jus use your Arc Welder if thats ok cuz his MIG is buried. Give me a call later if your not gonna be around at 8ish.
