Rebuilt Barra R31 project

[BeerTurbo]

It fits. Some spots you can just squeeze ya finger in... I dident do any clearencing. I had to remove seciod o2 from zf loom n put in smaller sheth. Cause loom dident even fit over gearbox.

[Barra31]

Haha, tight squeeze, solid mounted I'm guessing ? 

 

Did you do the engine side of the wiring or have it done elsewhere, much work in it ?

[BeerTurbo]

Yeah I did the loom. Just takes time, pleanty of good resources online.

 

Or get bill to knock u up race type loom

[Barra31]

Wiring isn't a strong point so I will most likely have him make up a loom.

 

How did you go with radiator and fan fitment, I'm hoping to keep air con but I'm guessing it's going to be unlikely.

[BeerTurbo]

I bined ac.

 

But I found a rad that dident need cutting of front crashbar to fit. Got about 3cm to barra though. So fans need to be infront.

You could in theory have the r31 ac condencer installed but I dont think rad would get enough air flow as fans would need to be infront of condencer.

 

There is actually scope to move engine back if you notch crossmember and pot the temperature sensor in back of head (plug takes up to much room lol).

 

I think my rads 50 mm thick if u got something custom u could get more clearance

[Barra31]

They were my thoughts as well, I don't think the fans would work too well in front of the condenser unfortunately!

they'll work fine on the other side, just make sure the fans are still sucking air towards them.
