but they're still made of metal, ie conduct electricity. and they're still isolated by rubber mounts, ie store charge.

I thought they were a copper core with plastic end tanks? shrug, who cares, don't earth it if you don't want to.

err.... copper is a metal :D

its not a big deal to earth it im just curious as to WHY. u know these things called questions? its how we learn ;)

copper doesnt corrode, thats why ur pipes under ur house are made of copper..

these rads are alloy, they can corrode after a while as electrons pass through the rad having a bad reaction with the coolant..

so earth it, and it will last longer :D

yeah but that copper is also earthed...

anyways its a non issue earthing isn't hard.

1 more question, would the stock air snorkel fit over this radiator? in the picture the top steps down to sit flush with the rad support so it looks like it would fit.

save with combined delivery? how much for 2 delivered to 3058

why not just run a pipe from ur front bar to ur air filter like i did with mine (old setup)

its not about electricity its about the coolant corroding the metal, happens alot with fords that are old, split cores and rotted cores.

    • UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!  
    • I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end
    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
    • Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?
