Finished product on the cooling system looks awesome! How are you running the piping on it?
I am using a air bleeder valve at the top point of the engine/neck, then also an expansion tank in the back connected to the top of the radiator and the return line in order to constantly bleed the system. I have already finished this project so I am just waiting for a sunny day to take some pictures and post them. |
crazy amount of work and thought put into that, seriously on a whole new level
|
And finally, here is the finished rear mounted radiator setup :nod:

Sick man! I want to know how that rear mount rad setup does.
|
Cool stuff dude. I see you have the fan for pulling the air through the read from the back. How are you getting through flow. do you have any ducting in there at all allowing fresh air over the fins of are you just using the ambient air from in the car?
Good job. |
I would not want to ride shotgun in there.
|
so does that still need another coolant overflow ?
|
Huh, didnt know Daigo got a hold of a rotary
|
Looking great man!

Good job. Honestly my biggest concern is that I build a proper system where I won't have any bleeding issues and there will be no air pockets. :scratch:

might as well run the overflow hose up out the passenger's submarine hole while you're at it ;-)

I made a little more progress this year towards keeping track on my rotary's health by adding an oil temp gauge :blush:

Here are a few more photos of the front-end. I have also added (second photo) a fan on the intercooler as well since it's a 4" core now. I really hope that this year I will have good water, oil, and air temps while drifting in 90 degree weather. I guess I won't find out for another few months :(

- Ap I also have a water spraying system installed to spray the IC using the old washer fluid/motor mounted behind the passenger seat. I will try to take some photos of it sometime this week. |
you should ditch the water spraying intercooler thing and get a good water/methanol spraying system. If your worried about heat and running cool... then this is your answer!! AEM water methanol = Heat control and knock prevention!!

Such a black beauty!..
|
You have a shot of your passenger side front? Looks like those radiator hoses would make it pretty hard to ride shotgun with you :p
|
I usually didn't like a passenger in there with me!... Just for safety reasons.. That is quite some hoses though..lol
|
Passengers will just be human hose-ties.
|
Man thats pretty cool though. May take a little to warm her up but I like the idea of having over 3times as much coolant in the car.
|
Any way you could have ran the hoses underneath the car using large fasteners?
|
You could but it wouldn't look as cool!...lol
