hey guys

i just being looking under my lasers bonnet and i had a idea.. would a tx3 radiator work for a ca18det in a 1200 ute??

has u can see it the its got like a little bracket which holds the radiator up, also same on the buttom..




bigger pic go here.. tx3 radiator

wat ya thoughts on it?

cheers

radiators are radiators they do the same thing. try it if it dose'nt work ditch it!

The TX3 radiator is made to run a 1.6L when running CA18 the best option to do it once and save a dollar by not having to try everything under the sun.
Crazy Datto fans have already done the home work for us.

Tested and proven. The VN 5.0L radiator fits very nice and keeps that baby cool in 30+ deg days.

Thanks for that info D!! i just got a 1200 ute shell on sunday so i need all the info and help i can get!! i have a 1991 TX% (non turbo which sux!) so i know the tx3 is simialr to the tx5 n i know what u said about the vn radiator but would a tx5 radiator be just as good? or no?

from memory i think some1 had a radiator that was custom made for a 1200 ute with a CA for sale on ebay.
here is the link

HAHA!! already have that in my watch list!!!!

if i had seen that or was on ebay last week, i could've picked it up when i went to get my 1200 ute shell from mt. annan on sunday!!

VOLVO

The easiest way to go about everything for a conversion is to buy a front cut, and then EVERYTHING that goes with that motor will be there. People say that they can get a motor and box for really cheap, but in the long run its all the small bits and pieces that end up costing you big time.
Thats my opinion anyway

im running s13 silvia radiator , turboute is running same radiator and his is ca18det.

but the ke laser which is turbo.. and thats 1.8 turbo..

so wats makes that so different from the ca18det??


soozzz im not there with engines lol
