hi, have had this done for a couple of weeks now, but just thought i would let you lot in on the fun..

this was all done by me but mainly my local neighbourhood Vocky who is a legend! :lol:

here is the mod that you have to do to the 100amp alternator. You have to take plastic cover off and also trip down the thread where the red wire goes. You can leave about 5mm of thread there but as the inlet manifold is metal kind off didnt want to risk it :lol:

below is the mod that you have to do to the pipe (water pipe i think) we used a vauxhall omega v6 water pipe as Vocky happened to off brought it along and it was a perfect fit. As you can see all we had to do was like the pipes together using a metal water pipe connector

Below is a picture of where you have to run the pipes through the door sill (driver side) The best thing to do as said earlier, is to use a bit of 1/2 inch copper pipe tape the pipe to the end and push it through, then take the black seal off (the black plastic with triangle bits on inside the cabin) then un-tap it and thread the pipe through two holes that you have to make - very painful! do not attempt if you have big arms!)

Below is a picture of a bosch water pump along side a second coolant tank of off a ion/cobalt

below is where we moved the ECU to (my ECU is possessed!)

below is a picture off where the pipes come out of the sills
