Thats one of the coolest/funiest photos I've seen on this forums!

haha that is comedy, I was actually going to ask if someone had attempted dropping the engine in this way and had obx headers? Stock headers have clearance issues.

Telion · 06-23-08, 09:32 PM

Here is the strongest consideration in the radiator department. Seems the cooling system should be beefed up a bit when the cars performance is beefed up.

Quick Facts:
MSRP: $419.99
• 100% High-Quality Aircraft Grade Aluminum
• Two Row Design
• 1.3 Rated Radiator Cap
• 25%-30% Increase in Cooling Ability

Product Notes:
An ideal upgrade to the stock OEM radiator, JVT Racing aluminum radiator will give your vehicle a cooler, more efficient running engine. The stock OEM fan will work with this radiator.

Row - 2
Thickness - 1.75"
Length - 26"
Height - 14.5"
Purchase Includes: JVT Racing Radiator, JVT Racing 1.3 Bar Radiator Cap + RMA Form Included.

And I just put in a Koyo radiator? :-( But is there any real benefit for NA Legends?

-Ed

Telion · 06-23-08, 09:50 PM

to keep it cooler? That would be my best guess and the side benefit would be a longer lasting engine.

Telion · 06-24-08, 12:09 AM

Hmm post whoring in my own thread I guess that's ok. well there was a last minute change of plans and I decided to go with a Visteon/C&R Racing radiator the quality and size was right, and the price could not have been better in comparison to what it was though the JVTR was close this had a SPAL slimline fan pre-mounted to it and free shipping so I jumped on it. It was in the special sale section of an Ebay store, but there was a Blowout sale going on that had the same radiator for only 15.00 more + shipping if anyone is interested here is the link.

DIMENSIONS: 18" X 26.5" X 2"
DESCRIPTION:

Designed for hard core racing and ultimate street performance, Visteon Performance Radiators are handcrafted using advanced racing cores and heliarc welded aluminum stock - just like the radiators used in NASCAR racecars.

The tanks are expertly fabricated by hand from die-cut, aircraft quality polished .060 aluminum. Each radiator is built with welded fan mounts and comes complete with an electric fan, drain plug and radiator cap. Every model is assembled and tested for superior heat rejection.

The result is radiators that drivers can depend on to keep their high performance engines cool when it really counts.

ooohhh shiny

mellofelow · 06-24-08, 12:29 AM

T-man... those are some awesome radiators, turbo or not. I'm confused. Which one did you get? JVT Racing or Corsport? What do you need to support the radiator in place? With OEM supports? What about sensor/switch... etc?

I'm due for a new cooling upgrade. Wanna know options before I go with Koyos.

Telion · 06-24-08, 12:40 AM

Hmm for the price I am happy with the C&R/Visteon which is the one I went with there is a place where a sensor bung can be welded in I will entertain that when it arrives. As for the mounting custom mounting will be required, just as it would for any other All aluminum radiator, they simply don't make one for our car. But it allows the advantage of selecting from many other cars (with minor fabrications

)

Well to be honest, there was a time that I would not have said anything about the ideas I am working on out of fear of being flamed, but then I realized through the supercharger project that it is slow and long and limiting the people that I share the idea with merely limits the possibilities of the project and the amount of excitement I experience in sharing my vision with others. I had become bored with it all together at one point and then decided to post up about it to regain my desire to complete through the interest of those who would have an interest in it, all of you

. Yet still it is in a stage where all I can do is wait and my desire to learn had a need which is now being filled by the tt idea. Had I not felt this way I would keep the SC, the tt and teh radiator ideas on the downlow till they were done and tested. So with the exception of small or specific detailed information you know what I know, and close to the timeframe inwhich I know it. hmm time for the warning; meaning that none of this is proven to be successful or to yield positive results yet, but that is all part of being an innovator.

DandDEE · 06-24-08, 01:05 AM

i understand struggles and failures retries and sleepless nights headaches tears... all the more reason to once and a while get your d1ck wet always focuses me anyway... and the flame thing, not you T i dont think anyone hear would do that to u but if someone does i got your internet back

Telion · 06-24-08, 02:19 AM

lol, thanks buddy.

Once the radiator arrives I will post up similarites differences and degree of difficulty to get it in on the downside I can't really seem to find it in very many places online.

BUZZARD · 06-24-08, 02:55 AM

The cooling system in our race car runs at 24psi. I would run it at a higher pressure if it were not mounted so close to the driver.

Chris

Telion · 06-24-08, 03:13 AM

Good to know, I will probably keep the radiator pressure close to stock till read more about this specific area, but I guess I better do some reading. If you have any links to suggested material that would be great!
