What's the smallest radiator I can get away with ?
 

Easy question, right ?

I need to purchase a universal radiator and would like to run the smallest one available. The reason I need small is because I need to fit it up underneath my front bumper.

Car is a streetcar that will see some occasional drag :lol2:

Running no accessories, running on ethanol (E85) with methanol injection.

For instance, could I use something like this ?

It's 12" BY 17" OVERALL

If you use a double pass radiator you should be able to get away with a pretty small one.

Get a small honda/acura style Moroso radiator. I was gonna run one in my car since i didnt do a front chassis cause it could tuck under the front panel but decided to get a C&R piece instead. The Moroso one is gonna run you like 130-150 bucks.

How about this bad little booger ? It's $54.99 brand new and even comes with a fan.

The more I look at your setup the more I see race car.
That radiator is in just about every drag car both rotary and piston.
When are you going to stop fooling yourself?

That small honda type is the Same radiator i got on both my race cars.

They work great with alky,don't know if you can drive for long on the street.

Hell no it's not a racecar :wallbash:

I just want to be able to drive around and rev up on folks :lol2:

Interesting, thanks for the reply. I might just try it, would you know of one that's just a tad bigger but still $50 ? :lol2:

i was waiting for an old school dude to come out with VW scirocco or RAbBit Radiator with wire ties... (that may be too old school for most on this board)

Yeah, I knew people used those too. One is actually selling on ebay for cheap.


What's everyone else think ?

I want to keep it as cool as possible but would like to run something small.

You can have good or you can have cheap, but you cant have both.

Pretty cool stuff......... but too expensive for me :rlaugh:

Not for me and there still have not been one made to be lighter than it as of yet.

Yeh your #1 choice for products would be from e-bay! :rlaugh:

I thought that's where all the hardcore racers shop ? :rlaugh:

About time to start working on this stupid car, again.

What did we decide ? That the honda double pass radiator would be too small ?

I forgot
