    Default 20v conversion Questions

    Hey guys currently doing a 20v conversion in my sprinter, have had a look on other peoples posts but cant really seem to find what im looking for.
    First question is i bought a JDM fuel pump of a fellow forum member and i was woundering how i would go about mounting it in my ADM fuel tank?
    Secondly ive seen plenty of people doing radiator upgrades in their ae86's but cant seem to find a good thread on what works well/how easy it is to fit, ive heard alot of talk of hyndai exel but exactly what model do people use and how easy is it to fit?
    And finally who would people recomend to do my wiring in SA?
    Thanks for bothering to read my post
    Oh and no nasty comments i know im a noob but im just trying to turn my very expensive life sized ae86 shaped paper weight into something i can actually drive

    drop your take out, take the pick up out, and have a look basically you want the pick up of the pump sitting where the old pickup did.

    you need to do this in a safe way as it is fuel and electricity.

    there may be some welding of brackets needed to hold the pump where it needs to be.

    re radiator, if your radiator is fucked, i would suggested not changing it. the stock one copes quite well for most people if its in good condition, and its nice and neat, un like most radiator conversions.

    Yeah, get the car running first and if it overheats then put in an upgraded radiator.
