Holy crap!! That IC is larger than some radiators! Hmmm, makes me wonder if I can't run both my C3P Spearco HE along with my stock HE on top and run them on the same loop. Johnson pump should be able to handle that. Speaking of which, do you know what kind of pump they are using and any of the specs or flow rate?
Amazing build and I'm sorry to hear about the delay. Hopefully they can work around the issue and still finish before you leave in May.

About the pump, I think the will use the one I had, it's the Johnson pump....But I'll know for sure later on. I to hope they will finish in time! Thanks!!

If I'm not mistaken that looks to be an air to air intercooler. No Johnson pump needed here if that's the case. Just some tricky plumbing. Mido am I correct?

Ahh, big difference if that's the case. Will be interesting to find out for sure. I know on other cars several have had better luck with air/air vs our setup.

Sorry guys for the lack of updates for a long time!
It has been a rollercoaster of good and bad news!
SCRAM have been waiting for the custom made, (don't know if this is the right English name!? Se photo), pistons from the US. Should have been at SCRAM 4 weeks ago, arrived last night! They have now started with the engine build.
The CF mirrors and hood is done, as you can se. Only need clear coating and they will look great!
BUT....The painter has, from what I'm being told, f#$@%d everything up and are not even finished yet! And I will most likely have to leave the car to a new painter to redo it all again!
I will have to wait until I see the car myself to know what will have to be done concerning the paint!
Hope you like the photos.....

No more cooling vents in the hood, the only thing more is the two "Aerocatch" locks that is going on.

The parts are looking beautiful Mido - I especially like that carbon fiber hood - it'll be interesting to see it juxtaposed to the new paint work on the car!
I'm jealous!

You should encourage them to mass produce the CF hood for a reasonable price. There seems to have been a fair amount of interest, but it's hard to find good quality at a remotely decent price.
Are you keeping the hood CF or are you painting it to match the car?

The answer to the question about the coating on the piston;
The top is Ceramic and the sides are Teflon, they are made by "Ross". The pistons and rods are specially made after Scram’s specifications to be optimal for the car!
Some more photos as well!

Well the plan from start was to paint the "outer" parts in the silver....But since the painter has managed to screw the paint on the car up so bad that I will have to find a new one and redo it all, I will just let him put clear coat on this. This is a BIG setback for me both in money and time...None of witch I have right now!
