Hello
as time passes by and no-one seems to want to get an engine, and my personal car is way far from being ready, I decided that I can see no more the engine standing on the self and put it on a 1302 car that I prepared for my shop. So point is, as it remained from the last post, the cooling system. I decided to go on the easy and efficient way of std vw shroud. I made some pics from the first cuttings and I'm amazed, everything fits like stock! so the questions to come for you experts on cooling systems
-is it O.k to go with this std shroud or it is better to go with a 30HP version? is it more efficient or not?
-If I retain the std I'll have to block off the doghouse somehow, is it better to close it as a box at the doghouse area or is it better to try to block it in the shroud before it start to create the cavity for the doghouse?
-Do I have to use also the internal flaps of the termostat? They will have no function but do they add something to the distribution of air or they should be discarded completely?
-Do I have to go with std bottom cylinder tins? Now the engine has on them the t3 tins, can I keep them or replace them with the originals?
-I will be using an uprated fan from a t4 2lit -the aluminum one- should I keep the big "venturi" in the entry of the air or I should discard it?
Hope to hear from you some opinions to get the thing going, thanks for looking
