Have you managed to get the oil cooler top hole bolted into the front panel there? I couldnt get it to go that high!!!

Yup! fits perfic, but then im using a larger (998 i think) water pump pulley that is larger diameter and thus makes the alto closer to the block.

its also supposed to be better for cooling..... so i read.

here it is... calver says so

Ensure
you always use the water pump with the deep impellor. These are fitted to
everything as standard these days, but 850/998/1098 engines before about
1975-ish had the old shallow impellor type. The shallow impellor protrudes from
the gasket face by 7.9mm (5/16?) and the deep impellor by 15.75mm (5/8?).
All Metros also have the by-pass hose blanked off in the casting, as do the very
late Minis. The exception to the rule here is the 850, there is rarely enough
material in the block to be able to run these. If fitting to an old 998/1098
block, it may be necessary to grind some of the cylinder wall away to clear the
deep impellor. To help engines that will be run mainly at high rpm, use the
Metro 1275 large diameter water pump pulley (4.725? diameter), as this will
slow the pump speed down, reducing the onset of cavitation.

oh cool! ive just used the metro turbo one, i just had a look though and my F reg 998 engine also has same size one as my mg engines did. Ill look into it, but the pipes are the problem i think im just using the metro turbo ones.

hey matey
what is that pipe you have used for the air filter ???

I would like to know that too please!

?7 a meter stuff from my local engineering place, rater to about 80-100 degrees, its plastic

BUT im thinking, with the airflow inside it, it should keep the temp down.

ive had it running for a while and it seems ok still....

will have to see how it goes!

cant afford ?50 for a proper one!

I think you'll find that it melts where it joins the turbo, be carefull, you don't want molten plastic going in your engine!

It may stop my oil leak LOL!
