Saw a post on FB from Andy who found this radiator. Radiator
This is super short at about 8 1/2 inches & only 28 1/2 Inches wide. Should be able to get more of the front trunk back by pushing this much closer to the front. I'll start playing with it when I get my car back in my garage. Anyway there is the link if any of you want to give it a shot as well |

The measurements you have are the core size. It's wider than 28.5. I think Stephen bought the larger volume one and it was just a bit too wide to fit between the headlight buckets. You can always try it and return it if it doesn't fit. Just thought you should know since there is probably a 30 day return policy. I HOPE it fits! Keep us posted! |

Hey Chris I don't remember that discussion. Must have missed it on your thread. I'm not going to go back to read the whole thing again though. LOL! I like the idea of trying to put this outside the trunk or maybe through the front somehow. Have a little thicker bumper to house it maybe? I don't know just one of the things I've been kicking around radiator wise. Not like I really want to screw with my setup that much when I get back. I just need to drive my damn car again. Been damn near 2 years since I last drive it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

Been damn near 2 years since I last drive it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) LOL! Wait...so you don't monitor my stagnant build thread every day??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) The short version is...as usual I waffled back and forth on it. Stephen went for it immediately and bought the larger capacity one. It looked like it was just a HAIR (maybe a an inch or so) too wide IIRC. Andrew and I thought maybe the headlight buckets could be notched. Stephen was planning to angle it backwards so it fit. I asked a couple eBay sellers to go and measure the smaller capacity rad and they were coming up 30 1/2 inches, which would be perfect. Here's a link to the page the discussion is on (44): Rad Info I agree the ideal rad would be one that goes outside the body of the car or one that would stand straight up in the opening. Problem is seems like the bumper would have to be very thick like an IMSA style or similar. Maybe we could just hang the thing out front PROUDLY like the youngsters do with oil coolers...  You'll be driving it soon! |

Hey Chris I saw one suby for sale in Utah where the guy literally just had the radiator sitting in front of the bumper. Was totally fugly but worked. Got me thinking maybe a fiberglass bumper that was a little thicker. I first though of the IMSA one as well. I really don't mind it but would really like something closer to stock. Just with another 2" of depth. Just another spitballing of radiator options that will probably never happen. LOL!
I looked at your link & yep that is the exact radiator I bought. Was only $185 so even if I never do anything. I'm not out any serious money |

Yeah I'm with you on that idea but can't quite envision exactly how pull it off. The bumper would probably have to stick out pretty far to allow for fans and some space for air to flow. Probably have to mount the rad and then build the bumper over it.
On the Alpine rad, it just MIGHT fit between the headlight buckets. If not you could angle it for sure (either direction). Can't wait to hear if it fits...would be the perfect size if so. |

Had some good news. Have had trouble getting a hold of Outfront about my tune. In trying to find a tuner who works with the Stinger ECU. I was also having issues. Closest one I found I did not hear good things about. Tried calling Outfront again & didn't get anywhere. Finally emailed & made some progress. I just need to get them all my specs & my current tune. They are going to send me a new tune for a mere $150. My wrench is going to get all the specs & get them sent. This will be a huge help as my wrench didn't want to start my car until we were at a Dyno to get it tuned. Which as I said was a struggle to find. Anyway this was great news as we'll get an updated Tune & I should be starting my car int he next 2 weeks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I will gladly swap keys with you Ken. I really hope to figure a way to make Route 66 after my daughters graduation. It is on the 12th in Rexburg Idaho. Unfortunately it isn't until early evening. Checked on some flights out but nothing late that night or early Saturday that are close & reasonable enough to make sense. If only I was loaded & had my own private plane (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . Anyhow still seeing if I can figure something out there. Still need to have my car back & feel comfortable on such a long trip. I've got to be in Vegas for Work the end of March. Was thinking of driving down for that & leaving my car with Chris or Toast for a week. Then flying back to hit Route 66. Would split my drive up some as well. Pretty long odds I can make it work. Kind of putting the cart before the horse anyway. I just need to get my damn car back & drive it. Weather here isn't to great for that anyway. |

Fortuitous bump Kent. I'll be picking it up from the shop next week. Still not running. My Stinger ECU is at Outfront getting re-tuned for all my changes. Stuff left to do
1. I'll be installing dual 6" fans on my intercooler. With it being at the top of the engine bay against the firewall. I really need to force some air through. I will probably change to an air to water intercooler later. 2. Need to finish my clutch MC install. Its in place but my hole I drilled was a bit off. Need to dremel out one side. I'll be pulling my gas tank to run lines for my reservoir. Plus need to pull my AC set in the fresh air to paint it. Mark built it for me but never painter it. So has a little surface rust on it. Plus I gave up on making AC work with my turbo setup. Another genius move on my part pulling my working heat for A/C (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) . 3. bleed both clutch & brakes 4. Fluids all around 5. Plus in my ECU & start the phucker |
