If you don't have the room in your current car, then buy one that has the room. The first car that comes to my mind is a '72 to '74 Dodge Charger. PLENTY of room up front for a huge radiator and an intercooler.

Sorry Dave if i was looking from something with more space I'd do a C body


I had a chance to get some mock up wheels on the car now that the suspension is done and get it out of the garage for the first time in a year and it looks like where the turbos are now ill beable to snake a 5"down pipe around the front tires and out the front fender behind the wheel. Also ill have enuff room to still run the radiator in the engine bay. Thanks all there was some great info had thru this thread

Beat me too it, Youtube: mockstang rear mount rad

Thanks i was having a hard tine finding it,thats a slick setup alot like what i was thinking but it filled in some blanks for me and im sure some other guys as well.

Thats the worst idea... start with a tank..
light small cars just take some work to fit
things in... in some cases .100 is a lot... I
know, I play with small cars.. at times it is
a PITA but its still light

Let's assume you're running 80gpm through 1 1/2" Schedule 40 pipe for 20 feet. Friction loss would be 3.5psi. Increase size to 2" and the friction loss goes to 1psi. Key is using tubing and not corrugated rubber hose. I think the airflow would be much more critical and I'd look at modern racecars to get ideas. I'm thinking like scoops in the sides of the body.

Running E85 could have a really big reduction in the heat load as well.

I'd guess it would take in best case a 12' run of tubing x 2 to plumb this, that's 31? lbs of water in the tubing, plus weight of the tubing, hardware, etc., You calcs for pressure drop are for straight runs, which are not likely in this type of solution?

Wait you are talking pipe, I'm thinking tubing, we are two different pages.
