You going to have some kind of guard over the front of it or you just praying road rocks dont eat that thing alive ?

 

Thanks all.. ITBs would be nice but they will not be the way I am going. I am hoping to get to the engine bay and finish up on that soon. I have more ideas pondering for what I am going to go for with it.

 

Subscribed. Never seen anyone do anything like that.

 

07Rios2k.. first, some cars, on the more expensive side with front mounted engines put the radiators in the back to have better weight distribution, and other various reasons, I think the Lexus LFA is built this way, but do not quote me on that. For me I wanted to do something with the radiator before, after buying the radiator and not jumping into it I say some cars that something similar to this had been done. Then I looked it up and did some research and learned that 99% of the cars that do this are race cars, and for trucks it is the off road or rock crawler trucks. So I did a bit of research on it and did some measuring in the trunk, and came to the conclusion of why not, a learning experience and something different since this is a task I have never done.

I do have many more plans with the car to make this more effective and other reasons of just getting it out of the engine bay.

So when the time and the money fall into my hands I will proceed with all the plans.
As of now from tucking the bay of most things and this project I have more pictures then I can keep track of. But I will get them all in order one day and put them up.

 

I dont see the point...

would of been better off getting a lightweight radiator...

why would you put it in the back? lol

 

i think its a cool idea

 

Very meh....... And o say that because I justdont see any function of it being in the rear. What cools your radiator when your traveling 2-3 mph in a traffic jam? even when parked the fans turn on intermittently.

 

keep it up! you have my wheels turning on how to maximize the potential of this setup, from a performance "racecar" oriented perspective.

lookin forward to updates.

 

breakneck, if my future plans happen the set up will become more efficient from a race perspective, yet it will not be one.
for me the set up just needs to be as efficient as the factory set up.

jphoa, I will require the fans to run as well just as it runs in the front of the car.

 

Thanks for the explanation

Looks like a quality job!
