buyin oil>water cooler

lookin round for a good oil to water cooler this week.
what would everyone recomend?

also how should i judge on what size?

can anyone see a problem with fittin one along with a remote filter for easy access?

also whilst on the conversation of cooling… water swirl pot? and what about twin fans on new upgraded alloy rad? and who would bother with a dash board override switch for fans?

in the engine bay who would get rid of the rear screen and have an alloy (bulkhead) cover which would look very pretty and tidy, or would you go for normal height and keep the window?

Hi,

Why do you want a swirl pot and were would you put it?

Only ask as I used one and eventually took it off as it turned out to be an unneeded complexity.

ive just put an alloy bulk head in mine not just because it looks pretty but to mount an intercooler on. ( although i think it does look good ). some people ive spoke to think it wont work being above the engine but its got to get quite a bit of air through the roof vent and work ok hopefully anyway.

how much and where do you get the alloy bulkhead from, do you remove the glass or does it replace it?

It’s a mammoth job to do it properly, & you’ve got to think about what to with all the stuff mounted on the cabin side of the original bulkhead. It’s only really suitable for a racecar, not a roadcar.

To give you an idea of what’s involved, take a look at Sean’s projects over the last couple of years.

bollocks then i will leave it

Just had a trawl through the archives, & this shows Sean’s car in 2005 whilst morphing from a road car, into a race car!

PS Notice the Corbeau seat in the background?

it is quite a job but i had to do it for what i wanted to do. i didnt mind the hard work though as i think it looks a lot tidier and shinier now lol. as pesky said theres the speakers the other side of the bulk head which i didnt bother putting back in just replaced the radio with gauges as im not too bothered about the radio anyway.

I was referring to the important stuff like ECU, relays, fuses etc, not the flippin speakers

ha ha put them on the engine side they dont have to go in the cabin

Yes definately not be taking that on!
