oldskoolvws Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Damn, I had to go back in time with this one. Try a VW rabbit radiator. It should fit. I got a few in my back yard I could measure I think. I think the Scirocco is even lower but mine has been in the shop for over a year, can't measure. Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 No don't do the VW rad,they suck shit. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 why not get the original rad rebuilt? Hose connections in the wrong place will it work yes does it look sloppy yes,but what ever floats your boat and i got a big ship.lol It's actually pretty easy to move the hose connection. Well, it is once you cut one up to figure out how it's put together lol. My stock 620 radiators cool the KA no problem. :) Quote Link to comment

datson4life Posted November 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 the scirrocco ones that oldschool mentioned are pretty cool and fit nicely, but i discovered those after i purchased this one, so the fastest, easiest,cheapest thing for me to do right now is put that inline water filler and delete the filler on my radiator, made an appointment with blackmarkit for saturday to delete that filler, dude does some pretty cool work Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 I did say it can be done,I guess I am just al title to picky,but I got a VW radiator in the red one and sucks balls.fan kicks on the radiator does not leak I just put a new cap on it,I don't how it's worked this long.

datson4life Posted November 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 so i pretty much got everything figured out and ready to go, wiring, fuel pump, radiator,all emissions has been deleted, etc, and i need a bit of drilling on tranny mount, theres is only one thing i am questioning right now, that is the fuel return line, whats the best easiest was to go about that? my l16 had no such thing anybody have a link for that, i give up, i need better understanding on that cause i just feel like plugging it up but i guess thats a no no Quote Link to comment

konig209 Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 A guy here by modesto used military aircraft quick disconnects on his drift car for his water hoses and fuel lines basicly to make his engine quick release and so no spills either. Bad ass build. Quote Link to comment
