Well I am hoping that the radiators current position above the gearbox will work ok. And it seems to have no probs. I might put some air scoops on it if I get bored. The radiator is the MX6 one that came with the half cut. It comes with two computer controlled 2 speed thermo fans



For a crust, I am a mechanical engineer.

To get stuff like this approved is easy, just do what the code says and an engineer will approve it.

As for speed in a kombi, go to
http://www.offroadvw.net/tech/calc.htm
and download the cal prog (need excel 2000)
Using that I guess a kombi with a KLZE V6 will do 0-100 in low 6s, and 1/4 mile is mid 14's.

that radiator position can obviously only be achieved in a baja right? cause the lift u have on it! where would you recomend as a good spot for a radiator on a bus thats chassis is about 24 cm off the ground?
