Are you doing this one as a 2-pass also? I think we talked about it but I don't remember.

No, I think it will be easier and more effective to just make it as a single pass. The larger the core is the longer the water will stay in the radiator so I am sure it will be fine.

If not I will charge the system with liquid notrogen.

I see um! I see um!

I would think that single pass would be the best. It would slow the flow of water thru the core down to get better cooling.

edit: guess it took me too long to type that.

time to start thinking on the oil cooler Mark

I bought a 1987 Wrangler YJ and the rad in that is 4 rows of pipe which I intend using with new tanks. Although I have a 3 row Japanese one at the moment in my CJ I have never seen it crossing the "normal" range even during height of summer 48 - 50 Deg Celcius outside temp.

yes I live in a furnace.......

I went out in the garage to see what was going on. Holy canolli that's a fat radiator! LOL
Fongs, did you see he is having to extend the front end a few more inches to get that to fit?

Willy Mammoth · « **Reply #3103 on:** Oct 06, 2007, 04:11:13 PM »

Here is a test fit.

sweeeeeet!!!!

Willy Mammoth · « **Reply #3108 on:** Oct 06, 2007, 05:49:44 PM »

I still need to make the inlet and outlets fittings before welding the tanks on.

I am also going to build an expansion tank to help keep the pressure in check.

The front end is going to be 5" longer to accomidate the new radiator.

That's not a radiator, THAT'S ART!

Well done.

Duffil · « **Reply #3116 on:** Oct 07, 2007, 06:28:43 PM »

Very nice work on the upper inlet, and the radiator in general. Top notch, as usual.

red · « **Reply #3117 on:** Oct 08, 2007, 09:38:50 AM »

if that doesnt fix the problem then i wonder if your turbo wastegate isnt opening properly.

dang, people say i can fabricate stuff but your skills blow me away!!

skipnrocks · « **Reply #3118 on:** Oct 08, 2007, 06:43:20 PM »

this thing just keeps growing and growing... LOL Hey how are you going to stretch the hood since it tapers as it goes front to back. I have the same problem with my hood, I think i need to have a new one rolled to acomodate taper and length, but mabe you have a better idea? Anyways man looking forward to seeing how this continues to develope.

It is such a sloppy fit to start with it will be a better fit 5" longer. You could allways just tweak the curve a little and it shouldn't show.

I could just start over and make a new one, you remmember I made this one right?

I am just going to cut off the front and make an extension with a new bead.
