Do you find that the intercooler blocks the airflow through the rad?

Not at all at the moment I still run the standard fan and 2 electric ones in front of the cooler even without them on no change in running temps ever even at full chat for long periods

I'm surprised you could squeeze 2 fans in front of the IC or do you mean behind?
Is the new bonnet prop available in a different colour to match the pipes?

No in front the rad was moved back about 70mm I think did it ages ago and the front has been extended and reinforced so the fans fit in front and it is having a custom grill and oil cooler.Dont think I will paint the bonnet prop like it as it is

People on here had a bit of a pop at me over my Defender. I probably spent a bit too much on it, but in for a penny as they say! I've had a few problems with the steering, which I think are largely sorted, but there's no doubt that the V8 has to go and a 300tdi is the obvious choice.
As I've said, I don't mind chucking a bit of cash at it, and I'd like a bit more power, so would you be interested in supplying a kit of parts for my mechanic to fit? I'm talking about the whole lot, manifold, your design turbo and fuel pump, pipes and a suggestion for an intercooler.

That will be interesting to see what you have done and on what engine
BMW M57 , standard , 190HP 410 nm ,plus a moderate remap more for torque spread . TD5 rad and intercooler, Hybrid P38 r380 gearbox , with bearing mod. Thats the gist of it .

Quite a good motor but they do as Ive been told have issues and they use a vvt which I am not a fan of as they are very unreliable turbos when boosted as they choke up and disintergrate. Quite interested the gearbox has had a bearing mod though could be useful If I eventually break one.

im back at work, designing proper engineering stuff. Im thinking that if i put a picture of a nuclear reactor up on here, that it will actually produce a million more gigawatts of power, solving the world energy crisis.
But i cant as I cant work a compootor....
