89PalermoSHP Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 From my experience there are no "easy" radiator options. You can go with the $100 one from ebay but you will need to modify it to accept the fans and temp sensor bungs. You can go with the $500 griffen from TEP which also requires a little fitting but much easier than option 1. Or you can get onboard with the GP but expect to wait months.

jolyrgr Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Would this fan work with what youve got in the works? http://www.jegs.com/i/Proform/778/141-647/10002/-1 I would think that would be fine. I found a couple high cfm ones on ebay that would sork as well, one for $25, one for $30. I have these out and working on several cars, and all I need is 4 more orders and it is a go. Feel free to PM or IM for any questions. JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpoof100 Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 You can get a dual row 2.5'' or 3'' griffen from Summit. about $330, You will need a welder to get mounts on it but other than that its just radiator hoses. 2.5'' will fit better for your fan.

mxg Posted April 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 stock system works great if working properly i had mine rodded out and i hardly go above 1/4th on guage Yah thats what im doing hopefully its comes back ok.

Maxzillian Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 (edited) I've managed to max out my stock radiator (yes, it has been rodded out) for autocrosses. It's not uncommon to end a 60 second run with 200-210 engine temps. Edited April 11, 2008 by Maxzillian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
