How are you going to flow the air through the SMIC?

This is going to be a lot of fun.

Looks a lot better than the rear mr2 turbo saxo thing my body shop guy bought last year.
Sounds the tits & looking forward to seeing it finished!

Where does the out going air go to?

the same place as it goes on a normal car, into the engine compartment,

As claymore says

ducted windows and air goes into engine compartment like any other car

although i have holes in the rear window too so the airflow will go out of there too

I guess you need a partition / separation between the engine compartment and driver ?

I just wondered with the position if you planned to duct the air coming through the IC to a low pressure area such as under the car or the rear window? Just a thought.

The window where the ic is, is totally sealed so the air that goes into the scoop is forced through the ic

..............It has no choice to go through there

Exhaust tips arrived today along with low/hi HID kit + HID side lights

only if the air has somewhere to go.

**hybriduno** · Wednesday 17th April 2013, 20:32

it does exactly the same as a normal engine bay

as rear window has vents too so there will be a vacuum effect from within the engine bay.

Exhaust tips arrived today

along with hi/low Hid Kit plus Hid side lights
Hoping to get throttle cable through the post tomorrow

Gears have all been tested and work fine and they select just like the volvo used too

just got to figure the clutch side out (cable to fluid) although it wont be that hard (i think lol).
Got a full weekend ahead of wet flatting the car down and polishing up. also hoping to get some brake plumbing done, but i think that may be pushing it lol

Clutch conversion setup

Nice job there mate.Keep going,watching with interest

**hybriduno** · Saturday 20th April 2013, 17:44

Update:

Now i have a problem

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . i ran the engine up and the fans didnt kick in... ran for 10 minutes? ish , if i disconnect the temp sensor they kick in as they should, maybe im not running it long enough? also it does seem to be getting hot in there and the the rad pipes warm up (top hot / bottom hose warm).
The oil cooler has been removed and a pipe in between the hoses ( this is temporary) but even after 10 mins of running the pipe isnt even warm yet the oil in the engine is hot? i removed the oil pipe and made sure there was oil coming through but both pipes blew out oil and at a rate of knots! EI: 1 litre in 3 seconds easy. p.s. the oil is 10/30 synthetic will this effect things too?

Anyway any help would be great

We usually run 10/40 semi with these engines.

Love the pipework btw would be class if you could get them all 1 piece

**hybriduno** · Saturday 20th April 2013, 22:21

cheers mate

but it just seems to get hot and oil pipe doesn't lol and temp gauge is aftermarket saying after 10 mins its at 65 degree's which worry's me a bit

I don't think you've got anything to worry about, it will take upto half an hour before the fan kicks in.

**hybriduno** · Saturday 20th April 2013, 22:44

its the fact the oil is cool when running through the pipe where oil cooler should be that worry's me when the oil out of filter + in top end is hot
