Project FTO VR4

So you want a hairdryer on your FTO? Or do you already have a hairdryer in it? This is the section for it. All other big power projects & forced induction goes here too.

It looks insanely tidy Daz, good work. I knew you'd do a neat job after your previous supercharger install which was very tidy too.

I might be blind and have missed it, but what did you do with the issue of the front turbo interfering with the clutch slave?

I had to modify the actuator bracket to move it away from the slave cylinder and then bend the arm to reach to the wastegate on the front turbo.

Ah yep! Think that's what Bennoz has done as well. Pictures help my brain work with these sorts of things.

Yeah, I bought stiffer actuators, came with longer arms, cut & shut them into place & welded up a bracket that holds both the clutch slave & the actuator.

What exactly did you do to the radiator fan Daz? Are you just running the one fan or have you since put a second in?

Ah yeah. Does it do enough of a job in traffic, or do you try to avoid taking it out much in peak altogether?

It gets the temps down real quick. It's a Spal VA01-BP70/LL-36S so it moves a fair bit of air.

Don't have to worry too much about peak times in the UK at this time of year .. It peaked at around 14 degrees celsius today!
