Work is always done on sensible budgets so it&#8217;s enjoyable engineering solutions\u00a0to a cost and often using parts which aren&#8217;t quite meant to fit. It seems more fun\u00a0trying to engineer a way\u00a0to fit a round peg in a square hole rather than spend 2 thousand pounds on a brand new billet aluminium square peg or a carbon fibre round hole.<\/p>\n<p>This time we had to make a few adaptions up to mount a larger turbo. All of the flanges and pipes need making for air, oil and water.\u00a0Next on the list was to\u00a0pipe in the largest radiator we could squeeze between the chassis rails and not infringe on the intercooler. Once this was done we decided residual underbonnet temperatures would be no good for the air intake so it had to be moved. Fortuantely this car hasn&#8217;t been seen by an MoT tester for some time so lights are an unecessary luxury, and a perfect place to scoop up some cold air.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-273\" title=\"DSCF1694\" src=\"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/DSCF1694-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"DSCF1694\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/DSCF1694-300x224.jpg 300w, http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/DSCF1694-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-272\" title=\"DSCF1695\" src=\"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/DSCF1695-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"DSCF1695\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/DSCF1695-300x224.jpg 300w, http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/DSCF1695-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MG cooling and air intake control<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28,3,30],"tags":[74,38,68,75],"class_list":["post-271","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-garage-services","category-projectcars","category-track-day-toys","tag-air-intake","tag-mg","tag-mgzs","tag-turbo-conversion"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=271"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":296,"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271\/revisions\/296"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=271"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=271"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=271"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
