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. |

Well Considering I got the Aluminum Radiator from a friend and the fact that I had a set of 14" fans already and Im only invested 35$ into coolong so far. I dont think I would regret it if I had to do it over! PITA yes, but I figured that with the aluminum sheet for ducting all the ish I have already I should be good for a clean radiator install for just under 200$ and that beats the hell out of a G for Renegade's.
Just my Brain Change.... Off the subject can some one post a pic of the Renegade fill tank in the engine compartment, I have read through every V8 Thread and no one has a clear defined pic of that setup. Thanks again guys.... And byndbad914 your Car was built by Baja Shop Huh? I saw it there before... |

QUOTE(wallys914 @ Mar 19 2009, 04:23 PM)  And byndbad914 your Car was built by Baja Shop Huh? I saw it there before... yep, I see you are in Orange - I had it built there in '06 before they moved out near Corona! I have since moved as well in '07 to CO. You can run a rad with a cap on it, just put a higher pressure one on than on the fill tank. Being alum you can simply weld a bung in to get the flow back into the tank. The fill tank can just tee into the low pressure side of the system. Here is a shot of mine after everything is installed.  you can see the return comes in the top pass side, flows across and then there is a return loop back to the tank where some goes back (the blue hose to the top of the fill tank). out of the bott of the fill tank you can see it T's into the low pressure suction side out of the radiator (goes between the rad and the water pump suction side). It is a bit hard to see the brass fitting but it goes into the dull alum feed pipe v. the shiny return pipe. Works perfect. the white plastic tank is just for overflow should that happen. Here is what you would have seen at AJs - this was right after I picked it up  I just previewed and realized the two most important tools are in that shot - a hammer and a crescent wrench (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) |
