If someone has an FG F6 cooler off the car could they tell me the dimensions please. Cheers.

Found it on here somewhere.  FG - FPV F6 370 x 380 x 45mm = 6327 cm3 (Factory)

 

I've only got 300 high the play with can go 500 wide (core) and 76mm wide. The Aero 2 PWR cast end tanks are 85mm running the 76mm core. The 85mm pushes it too far into the engine bay unfortunately. Might have to go custom.

I'm chasing a good FG or BF donor engine if anyone knows of anything going.

Just thinking out loud here.

 Water to air intercooler. I know they're more complex but there's room for a pwr barrel up the back near the washer bottle.

Did consider the water-to-air. Mate runs one on his blown pinto escort. The one big enough for Barra is fairly large diameter. If I was going dinner plate sized turbo etc I'd have to go bigger. At 300rwkw though, the air-to-air ones I'm looking at will get it done. And..look tough poking through the front :)

I think these early girls have issues with cooling anyway. They find it hard to get air through the radiator due to pressure differences. 

Basically if you don't run the gt spoiler on the front you need an undertray to stop the pressure build up in the engine bay behind the radiator. 

Only other way is to run a massive thermo fan in a shroud and keep it running the whole time. 

Theres a guy on aff with a zf fairlane that's done a heap of research on it. Cs123 is his user name. It's in his build thread.
