i went with the same logic and if it fails it won't cause any damage with regards to the car should be back on the dyno mid to late next week so either power or breakages again :) also have a gopro and DSLR i'll try get some footage with -

both brushless DC motors, no difference in operation, i chose the fish tank pump due to the flow rates, i've set it all up and so far it works a treat. On top of that i have a few failsafes with warning lights on motor failure and also limp home mode via the ECU if the in take temps climb too high -

this is my water to air setup, the top hose goes to the heat exchanger under the floor, the hose in the middle goes to the cooler in the bay and there is a hose going from the cooler to the heat exchanger what i'm stuck with is the best place to put the pump as it has to push water through the cooler but also lift water out of the heat exchanger to the reservoir I'm tossing up between two intank lift pumps, on to lift into the reservoir and one to pump up to the cooler -

engine mounts are 6mm mild steel with 10mm top plate, welded to the k frame, engine is solid mounted i sourced a tandem, the floor for it arrives today, i'll post some pics when I'm finished besides that car needs some plates made up for the tailshaft loop and i need to fasten the exhaust properly and the hardest part left is setting up the water to air cooler. trying to find a heat exchanger has been a bit of a pain -

things have slowed right down, poor weather, hard to find a dyno, finishing all the loose ends. i'm also looking for a trailer to cart this thing around, either a tandem or i'm half tempted to build a bobby trailer and tow the car backwards -
