I got an offer for a short air intake. Now the price isn't the problem. The point is, I'm afraid it will not fit on the 3b engine because of the radiator next to it. Can anyone say how this will work out? It's for an AAN engine. Pix should tell the shory. One of the pix I found on this forum, but I figure it's the same intake. First one is the engine I wanted to put it on...

You have to move the rad to an angle to fit it in a 3B car. Not ideal but has been done on a few cars on the forum
Erm Vicente comes to mind -
or modify the point where the TB will be mounted to the front, I'll look for the topic with the pics from the one I had.Comment

First, thanks for the quick reply. There's no second radiator on the car so maybe that's not wise (turning the radiator) with the allready more heat producing RS2 setup? And if I place a second radiator, how will turning the main radiator effect the cooling? Can I just turn the radiator on the bracket (wich has been welded extra to the chassis since there used to be a 2.0 16V engine in the car), or is there more welding needed? Because if so, than it's not going to happen.
Just wondering wether or not it's a good choice....Comment

Yeah vincent did this on his red s2, I looked into it before and someone posted up links to a rad that fits underneath in stock location/angle and works better than stock.

Could use the AAN rad setup at the front of the car, isn't that what that acursed red cab used?Comment

I see there are some options, but not the easiest ones. Tough decision because at the moment we're a little tired of working on the car but some future plans are always nice... Will it be a noticable difference? It's just an easy chipped RS2 setup (~350-370 hp), no GT45-like thing.Comment

@jamo, just noticed your reply after posting since I was typing my own. I'll try to find that out. It has to fit in the stock competition (=s2) bumper.Comment

Yes the car originally had a v6 rad with aircon rad and slimline fans but this was a bit of a bodge by kim collins iirc so I was going to move the rad and last time I had everything fitted it was a huge ic and the aircon fan at the front then was going to have a smaller rad same as the one in the link to the side (same style as jogi's car)
if its an s2 bumper you can use a v6 rad and fans and find somewhere for the ic. The cab had a 10v urq ic.Comment

rad in front would be nice, could get quite a large IC in place of the original rad.
won't work in my type 85 me thinks.Comment

Yeah, I was also wondering to place the IC in place of the ori rad... Since the V6 rad is quite a beast I guess no IC will fit underneath. But the question is, will all this work be worth it, will the difference be really that noticable? If it's just fitting the modified IM and a silicone hose it's easy, but when you start replacing the cooling systems and so it's another story since you'll need a lot more parts and hosing etc.
The car btw already as an aluminum flywheel to have it rev quicker.Comment

So, I decided something has to happen. Today I noticed an original sportquattro intake manifold at the garage where I go, but the price was 1000+ euri so that's not gonna happen. But it had the gasket house (is that the right word?) in front, so not half way as the AAN's have. Unfortunately I can't find any replica's of it, or anything resembling to it. Maybe installing 16V radiator up in front will help. But I just don't want to screw with the original radiator, it was not easy to install since there was no preparation whatsoever, and it's just sitting there fine right now... Maybe I'll try to find a smaller, thicker radiator as can be seen here
. But I guess it has to be custom made and then the price will skyrocket easaly. Pff, choises...
