If a front mount causes engine temperature issues then it is incorrectly sized or the problem lies in the cooling system. For the most part the problem will be in the cooling system. Frontal area is the biggest thing for a front mount.Quote:

Here are some pics of an angular tube and fin cooler with 3" pipe on a GU IV equivalent ute.
@nissannewby You Sir are a Bloody Legend!! That's how I envisaged the tubes would need to go but got pretty scared in the head. That helps allot but looks time consuming. Anything I do needs to be completed during a single weekend.
Yes my EGT get high all the time and easily. Not sure if I have a faulty Pyro and i am going to replace my Autometer gauge for a VDO I think just for peace of mind. A;so on the beach and when towing she gets warm and I'm keen to set it up better.
Mat I have either an Oil Cooler or a Power Steering cooler on the passenger side in front of the radiator, can this be easily moved? I note in the pics above you don't have one but there seems to be a fan removed and room for one to still be in position.
Do I need to rubber mount the front mount?
Yes its a power steering cooler. Its there in the photos I posted but has been moved to the drivers side. You dont have to rubber mount it. The fan thats removed is the one that switches on with the ac. have removed these before with seemingly no effect on the ac.Quote:

Aren't high. I would have thought.... Running around town they usually sit on around 250c and will climb to around 350 if I push it hard up a decent hill. I have all the foam and splash plates in except for the one around the steering box...Quote:

Wow just did some ringing around for the Snorkel and Airbox!
Radius Fab
SS Snorkel $590 (Powder coated $690) (Ram Head $790)
Airbus (Round using a 4" pod element) $340
Total $1130 Plus Freight
Fatz Fab
SS Snorkel $970 (Powder coated $1080) (Ram Head $1225)
Box Airbox $660 with larger pod element
(Package of SS Snorkel and Airbox $1550) Plus freight
Total $1705 Plus Freight
Assuming the SS Snorkels are bloody identical i struggle to understand the price point for Fatz? $400 difference in the Snorkel? Really?
I see the Fatz Airbox is bigger but they both have 4" flow in and out. I like the larger element in the Fatz but is it worth $320 increase?
Anyone know where i can get a Panel filter airbox? Maybe i should make one?
@mudski what airbag have you got hooked up to our radius fab snorkel mate?
Is this just TD Tax?
Well i just did some pricing on this. on the GCG site the cart came in at $2995. I contacted their Melbourne sales guy and he got me a price of $2830 delivered and a 2 week wait.Quote:

Don't do the garret if the price is similar to the Borgwarner. I will posy my dyno tune later today but my results were not really close to ab's.
I run the Radius Snorkel, I bought the 4inch ram head local for around $60 too.... My air box is the FATZ box.Quote:

As for the price difference in snorkels. My guess is that the FATZ snorkel has hidden welds. More time and care is need in this. My Radius snorkel you can see where the joins are. Doesn't bother me though.
Have you tried millweld Daz they are in Victoria so freight maybe cheaper snorkel prices are on par with radius fabQuote:

The biggest hold up for you will be the dump pipe as it will beed to be custom made.
It doesnt need to be done in a single weekend. Sure you can have the turbo mounted and running in a weekend. just hook it up to your existing cooler. Then with other spare time mount the cooler, then another time make up the hot side pipe and another time the cold side so on and so forth. And then one weekend hook it all up. EGTs will be a non event with a Borg warner even with the factory cooler.Quote:

Mat what do you think of the round airbox that Radius makes? there is a pic on their FB page, i will see if i can find it and post it her.
Here are a couple of pics. 4" in and out with a Pod filter

I like this style a lot but I need to retain the dual battery tray.

Yes mate I hooked it all up and just drove it to the exhaust shop with no dump pipe.
The Radius ones are fine and will do the job. Have a look also at on track fabrications in wa. Im not sure if 4by fab are still going but they use to do an ok box.
Anyone feel like sending me a radius snorkel?
Even just getting the turbo fitted will get rid of your egt problem without the other gear. You can pretty much max the stock fuel pump and still have now issue due to how well the bw works.Quote:

Correct. The ram head is straight. Just looks off in the pic....Quote:
