Can You Say Big Turbo..............

[INTHEEIGHTS]

Mount the radiator flat and put the turbo behind the grill!!!

Ive never seen that before .But is that possible for cooling.That would for sure help with the room issue i have .

The 6 cylinder is running two S400's and the 4 cylinder is running 1. Sorry I cant divulge the compressor size. Moving the radiator isnt a bad idea either, just a little more work.

I've seen that before, it works great, you just need to have good fans to keep the air moving. In fact, I even thought of it when you and I were on the phone the other day but I didnt want to put you through the extra work unless it was absolutely necessary.

It's an option you can look at. I needed the extra room myself and this helped a lot. It still cools great without a shroud although you may need one since your motor is bigger.

I don't have any pics of it but there is a turbo Monte Carlo locally with the radiator laying flat in front of the engine. Seems like the water pump would have a hard time staying primed but it hasn't given him any trouble. The pump uses the common outlet and he has a long -an hose from the intake to the top side of the radiator. I have also saw them laying at about a 45 degree angle which may help with flow and cooling.
