Shortened end tanks or core? End tanks I could do...

If you need the core shortened in length it will be a big job, Race Radiators in Dandy may be able to help, not cheap tho.

Can you take a photo with what you want done marked?

yeah though it may be a big job, scratch that then..

Will workout cheaper and easier if i just buy a 450x300..

May still need end tanks modded though..

I got no aircon and would like to fit it in the sport in front of the radiator and shorten the pipework considerably,ideally could probably fit about 450x400..

I have a 450 x 300 here if you want it, $100.

So after reading your post i realized i hadn't thought about just modifying the tanks, So when i got home i got out the tape measure, then made up a cardboard cut out and as it turns out, if cut of the inlets its a perfect fit which means i just have to modify the inlets on the tanks....Its a tight fit but the best bit is the tanks wont block the radiators much this way..

If i chop off the 3inch inlets and weld 2.5 inch ones on an angle the on the face so (with some gentle persuasion) they will fit through

then it just a matter of joining this pipe

And the inlet pipe from turbo is almost a straight pipe,maybe a slight bend..

I have a heap of spare pipe here, As i originally was mounting it in the normal position

If you think you can do it and your keen mate ill happily reimburse your efforts.. :)

I notice you do exhaust work as well :)

    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
    • The only high-power RB I've personally seen go pop after running for all of an hour on a dyno was built by B2R, while being remotely tuned by B2R. The only wastegates I've ever had leak like a sieve, return, still leak, return and get shipped back the wrong ones were from Turbosmart. The only final drive that I've ever purchased that were unusable, twice... were from Speedtek. The only seat mounts that I've ever purchased that placed the seats in the door frame were from Crank Motorsport. The only poorly designed parts that I had the manufacturer confirm should have been designed as per what I mentioned were from GKTech. The only ECU I've had firmware updates consistently break things are Haltech. The only catch can I've purchased that didn't fit in its advertised spot was from ATP. So forth and so on... Moral of the story, doesn't matter where it's from. Do your research beforehand and stick with products and companies you've trusted in the past.    @joshuaho96 If you want it done right, do it yourself.
    • Something coarse-ish. 180 is good.
    • I was surprised to see all the quick Jack models at the same prices on there. But yeah, grabbing one at 20% off would be great.
