Whta is the limitation on engine capacity in a bay??

I love the conversion by the way....

Is it still running hot, the wrx powered splitty I recently did had issues, so I redesigned the rad with more room at the rear, to create the pressure drop between the front and the back that is required for the cooling to occur.

Engine was $1100 champ, all the installation was extra.
I'd recommend trying to pick up a complete half cut using the original ecu for ease of emissions compliance(If you bother getting it engineered) and reliability.
The engines are cheap and honestly i can't think of any other engine that is remotely close to being such good value.
Bullet sells genuine and aftermarket performance/replacement parts, plenty of second hand engines available. Simple mods get a great engine performance response.

Im just getting all the little gremlins sorted out and fine tuning the cooling system.

All the best

Have been getting a really strong, to the point of overwhelming, fuel vapour smell in the cab lately.
Think the furl lines need to be replaced.

Picked up a genuine sliding window today. Going to paint it up white and fitt it tomorrow.
Where would the best place be to fit it so as maximise freesh air flow in the back of the cab??
I was thinking back LHS window so the dog can get some freshers. Will this affect the air flow going into the LHS engine compartment air intake?
