vbrad511 Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 So finally, after having most of this stuff for months, I've got some time to work on the Quest today. With a little luck I'll be ready for the sr13 radiator and fan install, but I need a little guidance.First off, what hoses, upper and lower, work for this? I was able to find a part number for the lower (but have lost it now). Second, I'll be using the aftermarket fans that came with it. Looks like factory fans are 2 wire, these are 3 wire. Which do I hook up to make them run correctly? Third, I've also got a GM alternator ready to go. Aside from the larger charge wire the plug on this has 4 wires, whereas the SQ harness only has 2. How do I convert this? Thanks all.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vbrad511 Posted August 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Great. This helps. I've been outside playing with it, got the radiator/fans figured out now. I'll get the alt figured out at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucw458 Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Kinda sounds like you have an alt that takes an external regulator. Last time I had one with more than 2 wires it was externally regulated. Google the part # to see if you can get wiring info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbrad511 Posted August 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 It's the CS130 GM that was the SQ upgrade before folks found the Hyundai unit. They sell an adapter to change from the older style GM plug to this newer plug. It won't get me any farther than where I already am, but I'm doing a bit of reading on other forums about swapping this unit into older GM's for more amperage.

TSIREX Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) I did the same radiator upgrade, I ran 15 degrees hotter. Come to find out my fusible link box needed a cleaning and I bought new fusible links, now stays at 180 instead 195. I have both fans running at 180 so it drawed more voltage and you can get more voltage to it once resistance is gone. While I was at I changed the thermostat and drilled a 1/8 hole in the thermostat for added peace of mind.

TSIREX Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Line the hole to the passage that goes to the turbo coolant line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSIREX Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Also make sure coolant fluid is 33% to 67% and use distilled water with two teaspoons of mild soap or use the wetter water solutions at any auto parts store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
