Im trying to Figure out if an extra radiator i have will work for my V8 conversion. It is at an 35-45 degree angle to fit under the hood, is that to much?
It's a 30x18 dual core, I thought it would fit but guess not. What size are the renegade ones? They look raked out when the are installed as well. Thanks. |

I have a dual one inch tube aluminum and a wrx radiator that are the same outside size but the custom radiator is thicker. They are neither crossflow. Either one will need to be angled to fit. Neither is as thick as the renegade setup but my hp requirements are also lower. The wrx radiator works on 375 hp subys and thats all I will need. The fiero uses a angled design and sbc's have been put in them forever. The trick is to get the low pressure on the back side and not have any recirculation of the hot air.
The fiero configuration looks a lot like byndbad's setup. Except it has a front trunk and the gas tank goes down the center tunnel. It looks like with renegades setup you lose enough of the trunk to say you don't have one so that means just concentrate on cooling and not try to save some trunk. |
