i made my own little setup under the dash to avoid extra clutter in the engine bay.

it worked out really well. cant wait to paint the car and tidy it up more

the radiator is a triple core toyota corolla one. i had the top and bottom pipe moved a little bit by my radiator guy and he flow tested it and apparently it worked great. it hasnt over heated yet so fingers crossed.

if i had more money i would make a nice cooler and radiator set up but apprentice mechanics with 3 cars dont have much money these days hahah

Where did you get the red intercooler hoses from. I looked and could not get and had to use blue instead.

Looks sweet

 Re: 1200 Coupe CA18DET engine bay
yeah it takes a while trying to hide all the wiring. i actually wanted to use back piping but red and blue was all they had. justjapanese in kirawee sells a massive variety including all red ones

I notice your using (what I think is) the std CA18 throttle cable - are you using the standard 1200 accelerator pedal ?

Did you have to drill out the hole in the firewall to get the cable to fit?

I've got a throttle cable that looks the same - but looks like a dicey fit on the top of the accel pedal.
