Anybody else starting to get worried? Time to start ducting work and finally getting around to getting the lines made for my secondary oil cooler.

 

lol im going braided hose everything, brake line, oil lines, and fuel lines.. looks cleaner'

 

so much work to get done and so little summer to do it in.

 

I was saying this in reference to cooling issues.

 

I know Im safe this summer since its not going to be even close to done. I didn't like driving my FC on hot days even with the old 13B in it.

 

Just got my double pass radiator with twin spal fans the other day from ron davis. if this bad boy wont cool it Im in trouble. I hardly have room to fit it. 26x18x3

 

^ Thats about what i'm running, i'm using the AFCO twin pass. I think i need a better fan to pull the air. .

 

I am still on the fence about whether to use a 26 or 28" radiator core. I am hoping that I can make a 28" fit with a little 'massaging' of the end tanks

 

$300+ twin fan set-up's scare my wallet!

I got a radiator if you guys are interested.

 

Many of the fan setups i've looked at are just too close to the front of the engine.

 

Mines crazy tight but I was able to fit everything in. I wanted to do 28 inches but couldnt figure out a decent way of getting my intercooler pipe pass the radiator. I do like t-vons radiator.I think that still gives you the width and the room for the pipe.

 

Haha, I've heard you say this alot, is your wallet some sort of little girl? haha J/k

 

I am willing to deal a little bit for my 20b guys if someone's interested.

 

i ran that with the turbos, it would run around 80-85c in town. getting on it in the hills or up the grapevine in 100degree heat temps would climb, but i had the factory turbos too

 

I run a koyo radiator with a custom bracket and have 3" intercooler pipes running through the headlight openings (have to run non-popup sleek headlights to do this)

 

By relocating my radiator upright and foward, then going to a front mount IC I got plenty of room to install my 20B in and have good cooling.

 

Look at all that room for the KOYO radiator and longer 20B to fill. Still biulding the 20B engine, but soon it will have its new home here.

 

Very nice setup. Your dizzy seems so squashed within the frame.

 

*edit* replied to wrong thread delete this post.

 

Yeah, finally hit 85 last week and it spiked hardcore while sitting in traffic. I hope this all fixes things

 

Bcool, you know water cools better than antifreeze right?

 

Water boils to easily my friend. The boiling point is the most important thing to worry about. If you want better cooling, duct properly.

 

I know you should be concerned with boiling point. That's why theres the water wetter. If it were me, I would leave the antifreeze for the winter only.

 

antifreeze also helps lubricate the water pump, as well as anti corrosive properties...
