Very cool, seems like a real clean installation

 

Very cool!

 

do you have any picture from the side? seeing as you do not need to air from the cowl scoop on a DI perhaps you can duct it under the hood for additional cooling.

 

Hi yes good idea but to be honest i dont need extra cooling i am actually running with no cooling fan at the moment and have been for nearly 12 months as i removed fan as the viscous coupling was rattling and had no problems,i have an elactric fan fitted but not wired,its coming off the road at the end of the month for a revamp anf finish the conversion Cheers Stu

 

You must be in a very cold area, or no slow traffic. Would advise a cooling fan to keep your prize ride rolling. It is true you can drive quickly without a fan, the air flow from forward motion is enough at speed. It is when slowing down (like parading slowly down the boulevard to impress the locals) that you need the fan.

 

Hi not really cold but as im in the uk im running a 300tdi engine which run cool anyway,if im using the greenlanes(old roman roads) i somtimes stop and just connect it to the battery for a while as we are normaly in low box and traveling up or down steep inclines which does get it a little warmer,as you say the force of the air coming through radiator does cool it

 

I really like it, think if I had a rangie laying around I would give it a shot, good job will probly look even better painted to match

 

None of my business but, do you live on Vancouver Island because I have seen this vehicle before?

 

Hi no I live a little bit farer in the UK lol
