Also have hatched a plan with a mate to give it a big push forward so all body work should be done by the end of January all going well.

New Years resolution get the fook on with it.

New rad came today.

Wanted to you standard fitting parts instead of custom built unit just for ease of replacement if necessary but looks a little too big.

But after a quick look on the car I could lean the rad back a little that would help getting the heat out too.

sorry mate just noticed I didn't answer your question.

 

For me it was mainly about space and looks.

But the benefits are more air in = more power out and with the aftermarket ECU it will be very tuneable resulting in a fair few more ponys.

 

Best bit tho I think will be the noise they make my old duratec had a hell of a induction noise this sound be 50% more being a 6pot over the old 4pot. 😎

 

Watch this with the volume at MAX you can hear my car come round tower when the BMW is on the grass. 😂

I would think so.

The TB's on my duratec are advertised as a 20-30% gain in standard engine.

I've heard the Nissan ECU is tuneable so I would think 30hp would be a sensible figure to say you'll gain. With the extras I got on the engine ECU manifolds TB's I will be hoping to see 350hp and at least the same torques 😉

And on my little 13's that should make it interesting 😊

Bit more done today A-post to bulk head panels.

Then made a panel to close the gap between the strut support and bulk head which went well.

Then I decided to punch some holes into it to let some of the heat out and on the last one the tool jammed up and creased the panel. 😢

 

So now do I try a beat it back into shape or cut it all out and start again.

Well had a play about with it it's not perfect but it looks ok from the engine bay side so that's fine.

O and I decided to bang some holes in the strut support panels too. 😎

And the ocd in me made me tidy up was getting bad. Swept up half a carrier full of grinding dust. 😕

That stuff is terrible gets every where.

The engine is Gona need a good clean and flush before I think about turning the key. 😔
