cabbron Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 i had a pax in a 340ish one,dunno tbh-prefer a 220-250bhp nasp car,preferably a well spec'd duranail car.the fella who owned the one i went in had heat soak problems even with a custom cooler and could only do 4 laps b4 he had to pull in.2/p What was getting hot? water temps or charge temps? did he have custom rad or custom inter or charge cooler? A std 4x4 Cosworth cooler can easily cope for endless laps with 350bhp from a T34 if you get some decent airflow to it! I used to lap HARD at full chat until I ran out of fuel in my 380bhp ish Westy. It wasnt until I went for around 500bhp that I needed to get serious about cooling.... I like N/A 7 type cars as well... and they are probably better and much more suited to a little car like a Westy... I just wanted a nutty turbo one! you don't NEED big power in a Westy to have fun. FAR FAR from it... but 400bhp from a YB doesn't need to be unreliable or unusable and it isnt the scary monster you would think! I wouldnt do it again though if I am honest! would just get a naturally aspirated Caterham R500 or CSR. Would have been cheaper and a make alot more sense financially! and be less of a pain in the A*** as bits are on shelf and not all one or two offs! but I do love my Westy! The black one looks great and really well done and spec'd. i cant remember his spec tbh,nothing like as sorted as yours!thats just lovely-could even change my mind about nasp cars!lol.if i could just punt my spanish house out i might just treat myself to a mental toy similar to yours Quote
