    Hi Dan. I just took the sierra prop and 200 prop to an engineering place near me and they knocked It up. It looks like ur engine is a little further fwd so u may need to fit a longer spacer. Still cheaper than £260 for a custom prop!!!!

    I take it the car is IRS with a LSD

    I'm also going to mount the air filter outside the body. It gets way to hot under there to be sucking in air!

    For the prop, just send the nose of a 200 prop to Autoprop, tell them the distance from the output shaft face in the box to the face of the diff flange and ask them to put a cossie UJ on the back. Only cost me £120 for mine, it hasnt broken yet

    Maybe me?

    Some pics...







    I have the narrower S14 five-speed gearbox mated to the S15 donk. Diff is Cosworth Sierra.

    The standard Westfield V8 bonnet has the bulge in the right place to clear the cam cover if you want to go down the path of a standard (but probably expensive) part. You can see the custom inlet plenum necessary to fit under the rest of the bonnet.

    Exhaust plumbing is custom with a Garret T28 ball bearing turbo connected to a GReddy boost controller.

    I have a pre-rad intercooler and the car goes OK for temperature. I was a bit worried heading into summer but I had no dramas at all.

    Regards

    Jamie

    Thanks. I only get the credit for owning it though, someone else built it.

    It's noisy, windy, a bit uncomfortable and far from subtle but it's a fantastic drive.

    SR20DET is the engine of choice for at least one "Seven" brand, based in Adelaide, South Australia - Puma. BTW, we tend to call them a "Clubman" rather than a "Seven" down here in reference to a CAMS race category which this style of car dominated many moons ago.

    I know the guy who built my car had a few goes at getting the plumbing right before it worked - he blew at least one head gasket getting it right. Do you think your problem is a lack of heat transfer or plumbing / water flow?

    I'm indebted to my builder for my tasty maintenance-free exhaust. It's 3", custom built and all stainless with a built in cat. It cost a fortune, apparently, but it should last forever. It's got that tea-stained look from the heat, but I kinda like that

    i think im not getting enough air through the rad, im making the chargecooler rad smaller (never had a problem with inlet temps) and put the fan behind the rad (pulling) then duct the nose cone. Plan B will be in place for this weekend

    Good luck with the mods. FWIW, my fan is behind the radiator.

    Let us know how you go...

    this is the current setup the rad is now perpendicular to the road with the pre-rad flush against it. Fan is behind and the airfilter will be mounted outside the bodywork.
