yes that intercooler install is very good - Nic started something there! - if you wanted to make it oober efficient I'd seal around the edge of the intercooler to the inner wing all around, add a pull fan on the back and then vent either the top of the wing or down the A post - this will pull the "hot" air out from under the wing rather than it getting stuck there creating a high pressure recirculating spot - that does mean a body mod to the lovely mk1 though - gulp maybe not!
If Carling made Mini engines

This is a really tidy build, it has made me think I could improve a few things on mine when I finally come to reinstall the engine, especially the fuel lines. The IC ducting looks like a great design, it must flow better than most of the usual options. |

The IC ducting looks like a great design Mate i have been told That DUCTING is the look for 2011. and thanks tom & eden As the sun was out today and I could not stay in work any longer I knocked off early and was out of there at 2 to work on the car. I got lots done today as wel,l i turned it over for the first time and got oil pressure straight away so that was a good start, I also got the dash in with no pissing about. It did not help though that it seemed that everyone in my street was having a BBQ and all i could smell was smoke when i put the wires on the battery. 
And it all works first time 
This is where I need your help again. What do you think about the swirl pot touching the HT leads? 
Thanks Simon. Edited by madmk1 on 18th Apr, 2011. I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

hi simon just looking through your thread as i know you are running an electric water pump but what one is it? i have a bosh one with a rubber boot around it with a hole in for mounting, i found the pictures of where you mounted it but cant see what pump it is...
