Monster custom WAI pre-rad

**GT4WRC** · 03-17-2006, 03:44 AM

After a few days in the planning, the ball was set rolling by employing the services of a local radiator manufacturer. A core was ordered from Oz and less than 2 weeks later it was ready..

The OE pre-rad which has seen better days.

A few bolts to undo and the old one was removed.

As can be seen below, quite a difference in size between the new twin and the old single core rads.

New brackets were welded to the new unit which utilized the original mounting points.

The design allowed the PAS and gearbox coolers to be fitted as per factory.

The sharp eyed will have noticed the 2 brackets on the top of the rad.

These are to facilitate the mounting of an engine oil cooler.

Waiting for the crash bar and bumper to be re-fitted.

All done. :D

Went for a quick spin to ensure all was working well. Will recorded some measurements over the weekend after I've added some water wetter to the water and all the air has been bled from the system.
