You know Koyorad pissed me off but they make a good product for very good prices,check out there website they have measurements on there radiators for all cars,find one that matches.They got there regular and racing sites,check um out go.

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.

[mrbigtanker]

No don't do the VW rad,they suck shit.

[]2eDeYe]

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. :)

this is what I was thinking

[datson4life]

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

[mrbigtanker]

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]

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

[mrbigtanker]

I ran the return line back to the vent on the top of the tank,works like a charm.

[datson4life]

what did u use for line? regular rubber fuel line or metal?

[datson4life]

[datson4life]

[mrbigtanker]

[konig209]

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.
