Yes a lot. Just so it just diverts before the fan case. What kind of rad you'll be using? You have the GSI front bumper am I right? That has a lot more space for a front mounted rad than my coupe bumper

evocarlos

was going to make one from a z22se tensioner pulley and part of the usa bracket will see close to the install time trying to sort the wiring if the rain ever stops

evocarlos

120amp fitted with rear cover and suppressor 🙂

120amp cover off

you can just see the suppressor at the back

still a little concerned about the nut on the output shaft

pottsey

that stud looks a bit close carl ,I take it your cutting it back

it sure is close but i think im just going to pack the alternator out 5mm to be sure 🙂

evocarlos

its close
packed it out with 4 washers it looks better 🙂

evocarlos

one 120amp alternator fitted plenty of clearance now and i've not used any washers to pack it out theres about 5 mm clear between the output pin and the inlet case
put a big gob of liquid insulation tape on the nut to stop any problems 🙂

fixed both the engine mount and gear box mount with PU18 (aka tigerseal)

pushed the inlet mount collar back so it clamps down to my engine layout and not an lsj

spacers made for the A/C pump 35mm wont fit lol this is now my next problem

gahhhh!! look at that stupid pipe sticking up

why is it not like this one from an astra g 1.7dt 1998

inlet dual pass sort of setup needs a little work to be right
