Well I said I would up date with pictures today. So here they are,

I needed a new radiator as my original one was not cutting it in the summer with the AC on. So I started looking around for radiators that would fit and also give me another 1.5in. width wise so I could fit my intercooler. I was not really sure the intercooler would fit and I had to cut off all the excess material but it fits with about 1/2in to spare.
I had to make a mount for the radiator, as I wanted to use the stock mounting hose in the rad. support. I try had to make all the mods I do easily reversible so if I need I can go back with little effort. The rad. mount I made also allowed me to make an easy mount for the oil cooler. I was lucky to find the perfect lower rad. hose to go from the much larger rad. outlet to the MB therm housing.

I'm not going for ultimate power, but economy. I have been getting close to 36mpg on my commute and want to make that a little better. I have been making ~5-6psi at cruise and want to lower the inlet temp, so time for an intercooler.

The engine is very load because the intake just goes to an open filter, so I plan on finding a nice OEM filter box that will fit behind the pass. headlight. I'm hoping a volvo 940 turbo box will fit, it has a huge filter.

Enjoy the photos.
