Hey all, just wondering what is a cheap and simple radiator upgrade ?

Tye

B210 / your 120Y if your ute is A12 powered , for A14's unfortunatly I do not know.

There is a bluebird radiator and thermo fan on ebay at the moment. I don't know if it is possible to fit it to your car though. Maybe someone could confirm this?
Also I've heard a volvo 244 dl will do the job. Some mods though

Its for an a15 .. Yeah im just after something that will keep it abit more cool on long trips, and somthing thats really easy to put it .

Tye

Everyone upgrades to the gemini radiator or N14 Pulsar. A few of the members have done this conversion so they might be able to help...

this is easy....Gemini radiator just make up a few little brackets to fit to your radiator support panel and youre done in about 1 hour...dont even need to change your hoses...heaps of wreckers have them if youve paid more then $60 for an immaculate one with warranty youve paid too much.

ive used gemini ones before, they do suffer from heat soak in trafic on hot days but what doesnt with no thermo fan.
I picked up a 1960s bluebird radiator from a club member modified to fit his sprint car, just giving it a clean and pressure test but thicker and a litlle bigger than stock but not as wide as gemini one. its 3 core to i think.

Gemi is good though on a15.

yeah agreed thermo fan is a must.....

My partners car is a A14 with auto, i got a good gemi rad but seems to creep just over middle mark (maybe creeps a 1mm past in traffic) now we are getting into the warmer weather. Im seriously thinking of fitting a thermo fan for traffic, its got a brand new oval port head i dont want to kill. Its got a 170f thermostat in too.

Dont want to have to be in traffic in 40

I have a pulsar radiator in my ute (A15) and it does a reasonable job, but it creeps up in traffic. Without a proper fan shroud this will probably happen whatever you put in, just cos the flow is not correct. thermo's will fix the prob though. Also make sure you have the right water pump. some (all?) of the A-15 ones have a shorter shaft and a smaller pulley diameter (i.e. run faster)
