hi. just looking to do this incase when my sc12 go's on.

im not having any over heating problems.

how is this plumbed up? and can i still retain my heater?

can i use a heater core from another car???? any others??? motorbike rad?

has anyone got any pics of how it is done?

thanks

im guessing you just tap into your heater line any where convinient and use whichever one fits the fittings easy stuff

I installed a Honda CR80 radiator in mine (just one side). I figure it has to cool better than a heater core - it was designed to cool water, not heat air.





That's what I did. I would plumb it in after your heater so your heater stay's hot. I even put some computer fan's on it to come on with the thermo fan.

yes i thought about that also.
where did you get that from?

i have been looking on ebay. for a few with the overflow nip, did you just weld to blank it off?

I'm sure others have shown 100 and 1 ways of plumbing in an auxilary radiator.

But

Since yr in Brissy, how come you want a heater?

just want to do this extra cooling.

im tossing up with a heat core or a small bike rad.

looking at this

or

or just the small little heat core. will be running thermo fan no plastic fan.

Glad it's going well for you and yr happy with the suspension.

IMO, the first rad is the better of those 2, but I'd also suggest looking for a copper one.

The second one is too thick to be of any real value.

yep going with the first link, lets see if he will separate.
the other one is just to big.

Just make sure it has 1/2" outlets otherwise you will also have to buy adaptors to make all the hoses mate up. That's why I picked mine.

i think a lot of us have clubby heater cores because we had them lying around spare?

did you use one on the charged mini?

yer

ive used a heater core in the past... it works fine, however you have to ensure you have a good water pump, as you are expecting the water to be pushed around much much further and you need to keep the flow happening or else your going backwards... my 2 cents
