Has anyone got a simple cooling diagram for a BEC using an R1 5VY engine in a kit car? The thermostat and housing is removed.

Mine has 2 rads....1 either side in side pods but the rads dont have caps on. Theres a pressure cap on the expansion tank though

N1

The reason i ask....... ive got a set up as the below picture. Is the layout correct? I ask as on my personal car, when i rev the engine the coolant level doesnt move, yet when i rev the kit car, the header tank gets an influx of fluid. Im doubting if its routed right?

Also, I cant work out what to do with the missing pieces that come from the T section that joins the top of the header tank, and goes to the water pump.....the third part which isnt drawn seems to go to the back of the engine but i cant find a drawing to explain where it goes?

Any pointers?

Hard to tell from that technical drawing

But I would put the small pipe from rad to that T piece,then the bottom pipe out of header tank needs to be joined into the pipe going into water pump

You do need flow threw the header tank,or it won't work

Cheers mate. yep, the picture is pretty professional isn it

I will amend the pipes when i get a day off and see how it goes.
