hey guys,
Ive got a 73 and i am doing a subi swap. i am trying to do a little research on the radiators that you guys are doing for your projects. I would also be intrested in the v8 guys swaps as well. Which radiators are you using and what has worked best for you? I have heard that early year camaro radiators work great. I am planning on having around 350 horse and it is turboed. i just want to make sure it is going to stay cool. i am planning on building a custom shroud in front and behind the radiator. i am looking to vent it through the hood. The evo style vent has caught my eye and i think i will go that rout. I am aware of the renagade set up but i also love to do my own stuff and i think i can build one just as good for less than $1000. I am also intrested in hearing where and what type of hose you are running from the radiator to the engine compartment. I am planning on rubber hose underneath. The only source i have been able to find is the green gates hose. Im sure it is top quality but i was curous if you guys are using, and have had good results, with any other brands. thanks in advance andy |

If you want a turnkey solution, the renegade works for a lot of people.
I'm trying a 16x27 2 row, single pass with a 3000cfm single fan for a sbc conversion. 27inch can fit between the headlights no problem. Runs OK at 180-200 most of the time. (I have a similar radiator for 375-400hp in a different car, no problems.) But for the 914, (only 280hp,) somehow the airflow is not as good out of the front compartment (I'm still workinng on it.) I think a hood opening would be more efficient, but I want to keep a stock looking hood and I tried to limit size the wheel well openings. If I go to a 350hp engine, I would probably move to a dual pass, 2 fan setup, similar to renegade. |
