This build took place at a shop called Strictly Performance - which has since changed ownership and no longer works on these cars. You'll notice references to the shop in this thread, as they originally posted a lot of these photos here on the site when they were a supporting vendor, along with info for the build.

Here's a few shots from this past fall with the final mock-up before heading off to paint...

Now I understand the radiator placement, looks awesome when all assembled.

Forgot to ask, is there a fan on the bottom as well for the radiator, or are you creating some type of ducting for it; unless the velocity of the air will naturally flow into and under the engine?

We have 2 10" fans with a shroud mounted on the back side of the radiator. We also have custom sheet metal ducting for the whole front mouth section that seals it all up very nicely.

If/when you get that bolted up I'd like the see the finished product, sounds like a lot of thought went into it (love it).

Edit:
Another question, I'm now trying to understand your thought process on the coolant lines... I've never seen it configured that way.

I am literally at a loss for words... everything that I somewhat tried to imagine is literally right in front of me. I am impressed :applause:. Would I be correct in saying that it will retain the factory/aftermarket heater core coolant lines?
 
I was nice to come by the shop and hang for a bit, that is going to be one sick dsm when its all said and done.
 
I like the coolant pipe mods... I was planning a modded coolant pipe on the 1g build to change the routing. It was going to elbow down almost immediately after coming out of the water pump, with AN fittings provisions for the turbo and the wastegate. Your execution is better than mine.
 
Is that an 3g MR2 power steering reservoir? That's exactly what I had planned to do as well - create more space ahead of the motor for cooling and ducting, while upgrading the power steering system at the same time. The more details I see on this build the more I like where this is headed. Curious to see how you address temps on the header.
 
Kevin I checked out the car a while back, and now I saw it last week at the shop its looks really nice up close its, one sick build I cant wait to see it finished.
