I'm pretty sure it won't fit under the bonnet, isn't that why Tim (Kyoto) had to get his bonnet bulged and get the Group A fitted?

hahaha he already has a 165 cooler, its standard on his.

I saw a 165 with a 205 cooler mounted once, he had the standard bonnet. but he also had a full 205 engine, and i think it was mounted lower in the chassis since it was a purpose built race car

heres another realted question.. i can get my hands on a 205 heat exchanger from clint, can i swap the 205 heat exchanger onto my 165 cooler at the moment..
thanks guys

yeah, of course you can swap it, but it won't be a straight bolt on, infact it won't fit easily, you will have to custom mount it, there is not enough room there with that fan infront of the radiator, also you will find that the metal brace that runs from top radiator support to lower radiator support will be in the way.

but hey, we don't modify cars cause its easy do we?

thats right

mmmmmmmm well i might look into that then..
205 coolers seem to be like bananas these days...

the 205 cooler fits under a sv21 camry bonnet with no bulge or scoop but I did need to flatten the ribbed bits under the bonnet significantly so that is always an option.

I used air con cores from inside the dash of soarers for the front heat exxhanger (because i allready had them) they are about 3 inch thick by about 10 iches by 12 inches and I managed to get 2 of them infront of the radiator. They cost allmost nothing and the surface area they provide is huge.

don't have to be from soarers any car will do
