It's time to make some space under the engine for the new
larger
radiator and build the inlet.
So I have made a couple mock-ups of potential designs that will
allow
for the new radiator.
I can't decide which I like better (or worse as the case may
be), and am
looking for input. Actually, I will just pick the one that more
of you
vote for, so that there will be less of you out there who are
allowed to
make fun of the finished product....
I call them the "Oh Cowl" and the "Smiley Cowl..."
Opinions?

No Iraq veteran needs to use play dough.
Just load this into paint and mark up the areas
that you want changed Dave.

The smiley cowl for sure!! -Dave Ruiz
Here are some 3D's of the hole cowl.

Wow Paul, That looks awesome! Now if you could only get the computer
to actually make it for me :-)
The voting so far is almost everyone for the Smiley type cowl. Possibly
because my play-doh rendition has an uncanny resemblance to Mr. Bill -
also made from play-doh.
I wonder how every feels about your excellent version.
Dave Leonard
Well almost. We can make some templates and fill the
spaces between them with foam. Block sand the foam
and you are almost home.
What ever is chosen I can do a final cowl and cooling
layout.
Here are some 3Ds with the new rad. Air goes in the
top and out the bottom to keep the rad cool from
the heat of the turbo.
Are you going to keep that crappy motor mount? :) I think
we can talk Jerry into selling a schertz beam.

Dave,
Once you get it all figured out I'll bet that Paul can create section
drawings for you to make a buck from, plus drawings for all of the
required baffles...
Matt-
Exactly :)
Here are some shots of Dave's firewall forward before he
took it apart.

Dave,
What make and size turbo are you running on the 13b? Manually
controlled wastegate?
