Series two, has plastic end tanks that has brackets that you can trim off to slim it down, it fits nicely at an angle over the clutch housing.

Cheers mine has a side mount turbo so there is no space what so ever around the clutch housing http://www.turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.php?p=vt&tid=2325 Found it but images no longer work. I have a picture of one installed in my car circa 2008 but I can't upload it. Shane |

The 2wd Cossie one does fit but is snug from memory, I think Starmag / Ron used to run one (I may be wrong) I seem to recall his bonnet had a bulge and was raised at the rear to assist with clearance?

The 4wd cooler is a larger unit Pace made an uprated unit for the R5 turbo which I managed to squeeze in the front of my old Minus, it was snug tho. Don't rule out a cooler which the core will fit but has incorrect sized or facing end tanks, you can always fabricate your own. Nissan 220SX S14 OEM cooler has a square core that fits in the front but would need new end tanks. Failing that have a chat with Bob and Clare at Concept Racing, a very helpful pair and their work is first rate. Shane Thanks |
