When I talked to the guys that built them they said they were for a 966 (or some number with a 9!)Porsche race car and the car used two of them and I think they were mounted in the air dam. Anyway they are pretty nice and great quality. I may put the last one in my modified as I always wanted to try a double pass radiator in it.

Thanks to Tim we have the 1st/2nd? choice for Turbos! :cheers: Today the brown santa left a nice Holset that may be the best match. Working with compressor maps right now. Talked to my partner Tom in his 400 mile commute tonight, he is excited to get ready on a true turbo motor.

Minor update, no pics. SteveM, thanks!~ Bought the intercooler off Steve and am working on an icewater tank for the radiator and the intercooler. My layout looks like it will hold 20# of ice+ a fair amount of water so far. The big trick in a lakester of course is packaging, spent the week working on that. Like I mentioned before, this is better than grad school for an education!

I do need some help with plenums for the NACA/turbo intake. I have a fair amount of room and have no clue here. DOH!

If you leave some more space in there you can do a short shaft between them with double couplers on each end. Allows you to more options down the road & you can pull the trans without pulling the eng or diff out. Use two sliders on the short shaft with collars so you can slide them back & lift out the shaft.
If you are runnung a 7.5 10bolt, B&J are now able to make a Greek coupler to fit them. Part # is B&J-SID.

I wish we'd had that set-up at the salt this year.

Go long, we have a short car for our own stubborn reasons, build it to fit the 15llbs of shit.

Question here guys. I have always loved the QC Supercover that holds an extra quart of fluid. I found one and this would be my excuse to buy it. Do I NEED it?!?!?!

If you have the room it can't hurt to run it. You may be able to run a lighter lubricant without too much heat buildup with the extra capacity. Boy, I like spending your money!!!  :-D :-D :evil:

PJ, decided to hold off on that Supercover until I see if I really need it. The money spent there will buy the aluminum sheet to make the ice water tank! Priorities.

Trent, we didn't see any temp or oil issues with our stock cover.

I want a lot of things, but can't even afford all of the needed items!

Nice build, Trent!

The good thing is that they should be readily available at a decent price just about anytime. They're used very commonly on a lot of oval track cars and they're one of the more protected items on the car. The way the rest of the car gets trashed that may be one of the few items salvageable!  :-D :evil: :roll:
