redbaron Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Thia is my Rotus that I completed in 1994 when I was at the tender age of 64. I continue to derive great pleasue from driving it to this day. It is powered by a Ford 2.3 liter I4 turbocharged intercooled engine with a modified EEC IV management system and a host of other "go fast" goodies. While not a flat out race car the performance is spirited enough to keep life interesting. http://www.usa7s.com/forum/uploads/20070121_192205_-lQ-rtmyCXnoKvD.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scannon Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Beautiful car! I have some questions about the intercooler since I am about to install one one my SV. Where did you put the intercooler? Any pictures? Any problems with overheating? Thanks, Skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbaron Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 The intercooler is mounted behind the radiator between the inboard mounted shock absorbers and the engine. I would have preferred to mount it in front of the radiator but I couldn't do that with my particular cooler.I did manage to install a fresh air intake duct along the lower edge of the radiator as shown in the attached picture. It directs cool air to the bottom half of the intercooler. Without dismantling the air vane meter and attached plumbing it is impossible to get a good picture of the intercooler system from on top of the vehicle. I am having new tires installed in the next few days so I will take my digital cam along and gets some pictures from the underside of the vehicle when it is up on a hoist. These may show sufficient detail to help you with your proposed installation.
