Hey, welcome to the forum! ;D
Absolutely love your project and your approach to it, really interesting stuff
Question- I like the idea of using one large rad at the front for both engines- this is something i've thaught about doing when considering a twin engine project- makes more sense to me that putting a seperate rad in the back where there is limited airflow, I don't know why more people don't do it......
Anyway, can you tell me how you are routing the hoses?
My idea was to run the water hose from the rad to the front engine in the normal way, but where the pipes would normally exit at the back of the engine to go to the heater matrix I was planning to run a custom pipe (under the floor of the car) to the rear engine.
The water will go through the rear engine in the normal way, and then run through a custom pipe back to the front of the car, (again under the car where i'm hoping it will be sufficiently cooled) go back through the engine where it would normally go back in from the heater matrix, and then into the rad in the normal way.
Hope that makes sense!
I was worried that my way would carry too much heat because its going through both engines before getting cooled by the rad (although the pipework should get cooled by airflow under the car in theory)
Your way does seem better.... Are you expecting any flowing issues by having a junction pipe?
Again, awesome project and thanks for keeping us updated
