The first picture looks as if they are fitting an intercooler, but there is no evidence of a blower so I would assume a super charger. but the car is still running a Kjet. Its obviously being race preped judging by the cage thats been fitted, but I wouldn't of thought it's gonna a be a fast one because it's still got a PRV, unless they have a secret weapon that we can't see from the pictures. The free flow exhaust manifold on the right hand bank wouldn't suggest a blower, but he might have one on the left hand bank, but then you would need some sort of balance pipe, And I'm puzzled by the remote oil feed ???

Oil cooler!
I'm puzzled why a PRV would need this too!

Moved handbrake to center, presumably to get the rollcage in. Added toggle switches for the rad. fan and oil cooler fan (a bit of an extreme way to get round the fan-fail module, if you ask me)
What do you suppose the round duct at the from of the perspex left quarter panel glass is for?

I think that is related to the oil cooler too - I think it is a duct to the other side of that little radiator.

It's a not very affective way to fit any cooler. Mark Levvy had he's intercoolers fitted there on the legend car he owns, and he even admitted it was a crap idea
