NA6 with a bit of extra torque.

Postby hks_kansei » Mon Apr 21, 2014 7:10 pm

So it's been a while since I posted or updated what my partner and I have been up to, but it's nearly there.

Here's a sneak peek of the new inline 6 almost ready to be swapped into the NA6.
Should make a bit more torque than a B6.

Nah, will still have radiator etc.

Going to need to cut the rad support and shift the core forward a couple of inches, new core will be wider, but shorter to fit.
Then will cut a small bit from the firewall and widen the trans tunnel, so the engine will be set back a bit.

Should make it simpler to fit, and keep a bit more weight behind the axle line.

Any thought about rear locating the radiator?
