Get the body setup and mock up your radiators, its all about taking the time and testing. Cooling a Boxster is done well so your LSx project is just a little bigger source of heat. Post some picks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  |
Thanks, yup that's what I figured. I know they usually have the two fender well radiators and the center one is an aftermarket option to have three which I think would make up for it. I wonder what the affects of running a series opposed to parallel. Will definitely post pics once the project starts moving.

Hope that helps.

Thanks a ton for the link. I was looking for a thread where they showed the build on the hood vent. Hmm thanks for the heads up on the Xj rad, I will have to look into it. I just assumed that nothing that would fit would cool enough. I may have to take you up on the renegade stuff, I'll shoot you Pm later. I could always change it later on with some fab work. Once my M3 sells things should be moving pretty quick. I'd love to have it done for Tx2k but I feel like it's too optimistic.
Thanks a lot for the replies and ideas!
