Any noticable differences?
I'm using a hybrid T25 if it makes any difference, i'm thinking there must be some as its nearly 4 times the size (and presumablily, volume??) but is it noticable on the road?

Thanks

I know there's 4 times the surface area so supposedly there's up to 4 times the volume to fill to get up to pressure...but I've not noticed anyone mention it...only that they are wicked...


I'm getting myself one next month

I'm currently on route getting one after a pointer from GavRST (Cheers Gav)
You planning on getting the mafoosive Evo 3 one on their site?

Thanks

i had an evo 3 on my fiesta and there was no noticable lag difference, i had a cossie 4x4 turbo with a .63 exhaust housing and that came on full boost at 3600rpm!

Great!
I'm looking at getting the slightly smaller one, like the one fitted to GavRST's car, don't really want to cut the bumper too much and want to keep it looking as standard as possible

Thanks

Matt

P.S I've not forgoten about the brakes

Wouldn't worry about lag with a T25 anyway m8.

I should hav really bought the GRS as mine was nearly as much.

You can put the Grs in mate and keep it looking standard, look at how i fitted mine!

humm, thats not in the usual place where i have seen them, they usually stick out of the top of the bumper by a inch, did you have to modify much to get it like that?? i notice your using twin fans aswell, as they twin FRST fans on a FRST rad or a different rad and fans?

Thanks for your help

Escort turbo rad with twin kenlowes mate!!

Not much agro at all, rad goes straight in once the corner bracket is cut off and the bumper was just a case off keep offering it up and trimming little bits here and there!!

Dagnambit! Now i'm going to have to buy some twin fans and a ERST radiator
I presume the bonnet catch has to be removed and bonnet pins used?

Thanks for your help

yeah and thats the problem really. Bonnet pins arent really the height of security

Gadget your engine bay just looks massive!
No idea why but it looks like there is so much room everywhere.

Q: Did you not find the engine getting a little hot with the intercooler right in front of the rad?
I mean surely it wont be getting much airflow like that?

not if you get the locking pins mate no, no heat issues at all, it ran the same temp as normal as i had the bigger rad!!

gadget - I think your engine bay must be bigger than mine cos theres no way I could get my GRS cooler that far back AND have a T3 that doesn;t destroy the rad!
Plus - mine runs a bit warm, is the ERST rad bigger than the FRST rad?
