RE: Pictures of your engine

Thank you very much Steve! I have been wondering if I could fit two Yellow Top Optimas where the original battery sits, now I know and can order two for my G, Maxim

I also posted a picture of my engineroom, STT-diesel engine. Not much more to tell you about it really

I also posted a picture of my engineroom, STT-diesel engine. Not much more to tell you about it really :)


Where does your air intake come from? Side vent? The complete STT kit included a nozzle that extended all the way to the front of the hood and also gaskets that rise the hood a bit to allow more air flow.
That flex hose between intake box and turbo also looks like a turbulence trap. STT made a wonderful cast aluminum pipe that's polished inside for max flow.

Just to be anal about it, I attached a spec list I stole from Iver460 ;-)

RE: Pictures of your engine

Mike,

you need to pay a bit more attention to your nuts. They need polishing.
And the radiator is a bit dirty.
Otherwise? Its beyond words.
"Blitzblank" in German - and that is an honor
