fitting a cossy ic. Its a bit tight!!!!
Turbo Mini Forums

Anyone using one? When it turned up yesterday i couldnt belive how big it was!!! Ive got a few ideas to try but if anyone can point me to some photos of one fitted it might save me some cutting :)

do some searches, you'll find some pictures. But if your like me you'll go a try something different!!! will see if it works.

When I first saw mine in the engine bay it just reminded me how small minis really are.

Yes in the proccess of cutting a bit and fitting you do tend to come up with some neat soloutions... will have a good search, just wondering if i can save some greif by modding the ic first.
cheers

Not sure if this is of any help to you.

Top man,, Perfectamondo,
Think ive had a top idea to help squeeze it in as well. If the missus gives me a chance i'll av a play tomorrow and post some pics.

Right! This is what ive come up with, im vainly hoping its a bit original cos ive not seen it before???
Accsess with the slam panel removed is FAB :)








I formally submit my plans for your approval

loads of space lol, good luck getting it all plumbed in. no megajolt? also one of those light weight alternators will give you more space. :)

My only concern is pic 3 and getting a pipe through that gap!!! May have to fab a peice to go in there.
Got mega in the workshop on the new motor :)
Just figuring how I'm gonna fit this for now lol!

That's a 4wd IC which is a lot bigger than the 2wd one. The 2wd one has a 10cm deep and 10cm high core.

Just slung a tape on it and its 120x110x640.. and tbh it gunna go in fine!!!! I figure turning the thermostat housing round a bit, brazing an elbow on the rad an itll go in a peice of piss.
Taking the slam out makes a huge difference.
Ill fix the grill to the bonnet and use pins at the bottom of that, idealy id figure a new hinge set up to get the bonnet right back.
Didnt a guy on here with a flip front do that recently?????
