Still waiting on Injection pump so......
Since I'm STILL waiting for my injection pump I decided to keep plugging along....
Wanted to wrap the crossover pipe with some heat wrap in order to keep the floor pan/transmission as cool as possible so I found some on summit and:
Got my a2w system all plumbed up. It's kind of two folded to know that something is complete and knowing that soon it will all have to be ripped out again to pull the motor clean/paint and put back in. Let's hope for only once, but fat chance of that...
Here is the complete radiator setup. Got a little more elaborate than I had originally planned, but came out decent enough. Now only if it works..
Pic above is the rear of the radiator. Hopefully these fans will keep the tdi cool enough, they were able to keep the 5.slow ford cool with the same radiator fan setup, so (crossing fingers).
Here is the bilge pump that will be circulating the water. Worked well on the old setup with a much larger volume of water it was pushing. Should work fine here. the pump is a push only and won't pull so it had to be mounted in the lowest point of the system.
Front of the radiator. This is a ford superduty transmission cooler with larger bungs tig welded to the inlt and outlet to allow my 3/4" hose connections.

I couldn't find the right size barb fittings to go into the intercooler at home depot so just bought some brass nipple pipes and made my own fittings on the lathe like this:

So basically the water starts off in the atv radiator behind the main radiator and that feed the ford trans cooler which then feeds the a2w intercooler wher it goes back into the atv radiator.
Last shot with the grill in:
I may make some more oblong holes in that main bar of the grill to let the frontmost cooler breathe a little better.
