#1 Radiator Problem....
DAT12T Posted on: 2009/1/27 7:01
I have an A12 turbo still running the standard radiator and engine fan i noticed that since the summer days have been hitting its been running alot hotter than usual so i went and bought a Davies Craig thermo fan the slim line ones and went to install it but cant get enough clearance to fit it in on the radiator as it hits the water pump i only need about 5mm clearance does any body know a radiator that i could swap thats slimmer than the standard one so i could fit the thermo fan on???

n13 pulsar or gemini are a pretty basic swap

Is there anything i have to do to get the gemini/pulsar radiators to fit or are they just a straight swap

and at the moment its still just running the standard engine fan

Got a corolla Radiator here quite a bit bigger than A series one but has to be mounted to the left a bit cause the top pipe is closer to the centre. What about mounting thermo behind ya grille.

Cant fit anything infront of the radiator coz the intercooler sits pretty flush with the front of the radiator

Reason i asked what fan is,we have been known to fit a fan of a 180B in very hot weather on one of the race cars,prior to going electric pump and fan,and it made a huge differance,there obviously bigger.

you can get gemini ones for about $40 or $150 reco. most n13 ones in good nick are $150 to 300.

Gemini one fits with just some longer hose on the top tank(hyundai lantra i think) and a little bt of threaded rod throught the front radiator panel to the mounts on the gemi radiator. then with some nuts and washeres to space it out.

N13 pulsar is similar to s13 silvia radiator in size, fillls all space between chasis rails, need more hose on top tank to the engine. also you need the top rad mounts onto the rad support panel and also 2 gromets on the under neath of rad support rail to hold it in place. nice thin core and good cooling. also need radiator recovery bottle.

Open in new window

gemi one
