That's nice and loose isn't it - must have sounded lovely when it went

Sounded like a load of bolts in a mixing machine.

Still waiting to hear about my charger so been ordering aload of other bits. Full polybush kit, hard race rear toe arms and rack spacers from Dixon. Thanks to Glen I have got a full blown radiator and fans which I have made a rad shroud for. I've also received my Okada project coils and fitted them.

Picture of the rad with fans fitted.



Also ordered some por 15 to paint the suspension arms in.

That shroud looks like its stopping air getting passed can you exsplain im confused .

Apart from the 2 12" holes in it. I've just copied the idea from other shrouds. How would you do it?

I think thats how they are ment to be. The fan shroud forms a seal around the radiator then the fans create a vacuum inside the shroud. Thereby sucking air from a larger area (as such) of the radiator than when un shrouded. It should make the fan more efficient and they look cool.

Good Job Mattie.

Yes it looks cool and i don't know alot about it.But does that mean the fans have to be on all the time? Does the shroud make the car heat up quicker,there for the fans come on early?

mattie170

No as the air will come out the holes in the shroud, at say 70mph it will come through those holes like a rocket. The shroud as raz said helps a lot when the fans need to come on. Look at any car they all have shrouds as it raises efficiency. I don't know all the ins and outs but know its better to have one than having a fan sitting in the engine bay.

Even more unhappy with the TTS kit now. Just been cleaning the engine bay ready for the new charger and I have found the alternator bracket has cracked badly. This is also there uprated part as well.
