need a small radiator!

[mikemounlio]

I need a smaller radiator! My new manifold looks great but its a bit different then stock. I need to find a small radiator now. What all have you guys ever found?

Move the stock one to the right.
The kubota rtv is about festiva size lol.

Mine has a Honda Civic 2 core.

O i have the Honda 2 core as well. The new turbo is just in the way! The manifold is slightly big. It's done great tho. I'll make it work. The turbo inlet is now

[mikemounlio]

Maybe an old mini's radiator would work.

Needs to be narrower right? How much narrower?

Im gonna look at flipping the turbo over. But then i will have to do a 180° bend out of the exhaust over the top of the turbo to shoot it out of my fender. All my inate will then sit on the passengers side of the motor. Ill heat wrap the exhaust to keep temps down in the bay. Ill have the guy in the shop to weld it all up for me so itll look decent (or get the gas for my welder). If i flip the turbo i dont have to worry with a different radiator! Will check how it all looks tonight.

Another option you might want to look into is Kaowool. It's basically clay kiln liner that you can buy in rolls that's a very effective heat-blocker. I ran it on my VJ11/VF10 hybrid and under my ported manifold/o2 housing shields. Combined with a wrapped downpipe, it kept the engine bay temperatures totally under control. I was really impressed, and needed to be... because my charge pipes and intercooler were dangerously close to the turbo and radiator as well. Though the three heat-shields also had reflective heat tape under them, I attribute most of the benefits I observed in that hyper-cramped engine bay to the Kaowool.

Suzuki swift Gti radiator is skinny and daul core might be an option

I have a mini moke double core racing radiator. It's way smaller than the civic one.

I've had it modified to the filler neck is accessible in my festiva, but I've since decided to stick with the civic one because I'm afraid this is too small.

This is is below in front of the civic one just to compare size:

I just had a look on eBay and you can get the mini moke rad in triple core as well.
2.75" thick.

This Suzuki Swift one I picked up was an option for me also before I decided with the above radiator.

I have made a deal for the dickmyer manifold. I no longer have a need for a small radiator! I like that mini mok tho!

[moz]

Yeah
I'm inclined to use it now. My engine is so far forward that even the civic rad is troublesome
