Something like that would be great but there's no place that I can mount it higher than the CC core

In fairness it's the easiest option as well. Think you're overthinking the bends though, flow is flow, When my system is working it flows well. Annoyingly a header tank isn't possible. The CC core is already at the highest point apart from the wee daft filler neck thing.

Chuck up some pics!

Ach it worked faultlessly for 7000 miles. The issue was to bleed it it takes two people. One at the front to open and close the valve, One at the back with the hose jammed into the filler neck. The guy who helped me never knew how the valve on my pre rad works. If you close it and oush it past the p...

Mine was the same! I really thing the snap oversteer was hugely exaggerated by the press! Having said that I've seen some idiotic crashes by new owners even in rev3+ cars.

Gah! Sorry Jim...I've been researching primarily on mr2oc so totally mixed up with driver and passenger side! Yeah I also thought passenger side would be colder. From what I've seen these top mount setups run a fan constantly. I guess I can only hive it a try. I'll be doing pretty much the same as t...

sounds great man! My very first Mr2 was a rev1 and I loved the original snap oversteer setup!

Amazing what a new coat of paint can do with a little bling!

Looks extremely clean! Is it a turbo? I can't remember if you'd taken the plunge or not!

Ah yeah there's no contest to a front mount! What makes the passenger side coldest? They both have the same vents. Surely the side further away from the engine would be cooler no? Also it's not really an option for me due to my stupid inlet manifold, I'd have to run crazy pipework. Even a boot mount...

Dunno about small, it's half a metre long and more than twice the size of a regular side mount (based on greddy sizes I believe) But it is insanely priced. Been doing some research and it seems top mount on the passenger side works quite well. I'm not sure what other options I have than a boot mount...

That's looking fantastic mate!! Yeah you need to upload to flickr or imgur (since photobucket is done for)

Hit the IMG button...paste the URL link then hit the IMG button again.

Probably not but $1200 is still scandalous. Gravity racing sell an identical core for £119.

Or this which is £88. ATS really must have enormous glass doors charging $1200 for one of these plus a couple of bits of pipe and a couple of electric fans. 🙄

Actually managed to find what appears to be the same intercooler core. Obviously have to get tabs welded on etc but this core is right here in the UK.

So i'm on the hunt for something like ATS top mount kit however at $1200 plus shipping, vat and import fees I feel there kit is a bit steep. Anyone know of anything of a similar size and shape that would work? http://www.atsracing.net/Parts/Details/ICBOV-ATS-TOPMIC Here's a link to their kit. The ot...

Yeah 29psi. CR is 9:01 (although sure it's 8:5 with a 1.2mm head gasket) The issue has been not retorquing the head bolts. I did check the torque after running it in but forgot to check it after being mapped and running full boost. Lesson learned! That's the engine back in with new head gasket and t...

soooo, Turns out i've had the head gasket fail. It wasn't immediately obvious but when the layers were split apart it was melted underneath. So no new block required. I'll keep the rev5 one (and new rings) as spares for when it does go!!! Trying to post pics but imgur is knackered.

So the old block came out today and after extremely thorough investigation there are no cracks to be seen anywhere. It looks like a perfectly healthy bottom end. When it broke down I definitely had steam coming from the exhaust. I actually though at the time (while in denial about the block being cr...

Was only ever a matter of time!! Good to see you back! V6 turbo is the only thing left to do to these really! Looking forward to watching it progress!

Link G4 extreme can be used as it supports drive by wire. My mate Kris wired in mine to the current build. He's a genius when it comes to that side of things so i'm fully confidently he could wire one into the 2gr no issue.
