I was going to but then I came across a Honda radiator that just might work in the front so that's where I am at as of right now. Need to do a little more measuring before I hit checkout lol

Can that work?

In the process of gathering as much info as possible. Visually it might not, due to the starter being on the engine side and not sitting on the trans side. Otherwise adapter plate might be able to make it happen. Might have to use spacers due to the length of the axles. Seen builds that people are starting them. Gearing on the 091 trans just doesn't do it for the VR motor. Need better gearing.

Been away for a while and have to bring back up to speed. Mini photoshoot

Sticker game is correct!

Slapped a cover on the rear deck!

I've been having some idling and running issues. Still did not stop me from going to show n go, spitting fire out of the tailpipe, dying on the turnpike and getting towed home. Took 2nd at show n go!

Had to rip out the wiring just to get it running for my kids trunk or treat!

Found that the coilpack crapped out on me!!! Hence slapped a used one in from my friend and voila! BVR made it to their trunk or treat.

Now just worrying about what's the next show I have not hit lol

That's not how I read it. Maybe w/ the retraction I can tell them to add a pic of the BVR too :lol:

Trust me I wish! I went to the OCTO split bus show out there and I died and went to heaven. I have yet to see something like that on the east coast! If only teleportation existed! Lol

Bump, how's 2016 treating ya?

Mon Jul 25, 2016 6:41 am

2016 is going fast for me and still running hot. I did manage to get out to 2 shows this year lol

Ive been messing around w/ a new rad set up and location. Mind you when I started testing this new setup it was 95 degs out and I was running at 220. Not where I really wanna be running. Did a few different configurations w/ the fans and scoop. Still getting up there. Think I may need a more powerful cfm rate. Prior to the switch I was pinned at 210.

Also been messing w/ a new fuel system setup to get that damn MK3 tank out of the third row.What a difference the fuel cell will be and its gonna run to the tank fill outside so no more climbing in the bus to fill the BVR.

In a nutshell. Im still under construction lol Designing a bolt on A arm front suspension. Lets see how that pans out. Stay tuned.

What size is the rad and is it a 2 core ?
