radiator fun

[ben]

everyone wants to save a quid.

ive never bought a good radiator new but ive herd they are damn expensive..

has anyone tried running 2 easy to come by 3 cores in seris? i know it sounds stupid but i have enough room to stand between my radiator and my engine and i could fit 2 more radiators in there if i was really keen:)

i was thinking out of one top into another bottom then back into the motor.

what about commadore radiators. they are so thin. i recon i could fit 5 of those in my engine bay. hmmm that would almost be as good as air conditioning!!!!!!

i wish i had more room there,
i don't know if the water pump would be struggling though

[ben]

not much more water than a 4core thou?? or maybe?

[able]

by having them in series you would be effecting air flow wouldn't you?

[ben]

yeh but no different to a 5 core radiator or whatever its just spaced out a bit more. might be able to run thermos on both radiators?? now im getting carried away. my 4 core does a plenty good job, just at idle needs to pump a bit more water so ive been told today to get it to spin a bit faster get a smaller pulley for the water pump. cheers ben (on my sissters computer and its without an enter key|!! arg)

I got a 3 core cross flow commodore radiator which just fits in at 670mm for $30 and I've never ever overheated again! Sits comfortably just above the blue even in 45 degree heat, at idle.
