Sam's Proper MX-3 - LT Turbo project *Parting out*
-
Glue a red golf ball on it :roll:
-
is that a new Japenese car fashion gimmick that Im unaware off…
...or is it a gag ball reference? :lol:Could use the hole for the aerial for when I remove the roof one :wink:
-
behold, more shinyness! radiator cap from a Capri :shock: :D
back to work tommorow so I can get this all welded up
few more bespoke bits to make, then I can hopefully
fit this up next weekend :D
-
so is this to replace the coolant reserve tank and make more space for turboage?
-
yeah basically the MX3 rad. has a pressure cap/filler on the side
the new rad Im fitting doesnt, so I had to incorparate a pressure
cap and filler hose (being 'T' into the top rad hose) into this header tank, you could of course use a header tank of another car that had
the right pipe/dimensions etc.The new smaller width radiator should allow for the boost pipes to go
past it easily, instead of having the pipes going round the houses to
reach the intercooler infront of the radiator.
-
had to cut this tank down alot so the bottom filler
was higher then the top radiator hose.
speaking of wich, going to replace the top rubber hose with this
full stainless steel item wich ive been working on.
plenty more to come folks :wink: :D
-
LOOKING GOOD AS ALWAYS :wink:
-
its got to work good too … :)
-
Thats the colour scheme sorted! :D
-
i love it, gonna look sweeet!
-
Really wasnt sure at first concept, but my creative jiuces are flowing like this lovely Stella right now. :D
-
one of the last peices in the jigsaw turned up this morning!
I paid £9 delivered for that alloy elbow from Xenon.biz off ebay
wich is crimianlly cheap for one of them :D
just need to weld and tap a union on there for the blue hose tail
-
Finsihed off the top hose today, left it way long on each end as not
100% were the rad will sit just yet and I need some 35-38mm silicone hose reducers anyways,
Been having dirty thoughts about getting something laser etched onto this!
Just an idea :D
-
Loving it
ps where do you get the green pipe from :wink:
-
The 2.5" ID green silicone elbow
was made to order at DPH Sport performance and the
25mm ID green translucent hose was bought from oilybits.com :)Sealed and spanked the tank!
Got the spouts on, and another polish.
hose reducers ordered for top hose.
-
Dont you just love the smell of silicone in the morning :lol:
Radiator, header tank & top hose going in for pressure testing on monday, fingers crossed! :D
-
Drilled and tapped a 1/4" BSP threaded hole in the alu elbow
for the breather pipe.
Spare rocker cover turned up today, so wasted no time in cutting
off the cam pulley cover on the bandsaw so some nice anodized
pulleys will be exposed, not sure what treatment Im having done
to it yet…
-
Had to have a little listen !
-
very sexy….
PM sent fella...
-
Thanks Raines, currently thinking rocker cover same colour as air filter> bubblegum pink?!
Garage couldnt test my rad/tank as He didnt have the appropriate hoses/bungs, so thats my next job to jerry rig it all together. Good news
is His tester fits right into my header tank cap flange so once Ive linked the two together and bunged off the other outlet we can test it no problem he said :D
