OE Radiators. Where from?

[Justin85]

Hi guys,

I'm pretty sure the original rad on my '87 3.0 is not up to cooling the car sufficiently during the sustained track use that we want to subject it to.

I have looked into getting a custom rad made up for the car but am put off by the expense ($500) as it's supposed to be a very budget trackday car.

I read with interest about the suitability of the turbo diesel radiator but am having great difficulty sourcing one in the UK. If anyone knows where I may be able to get one from in either the UK or US?

Many thanks,
Justin.

Hi Justin,
After striking out on a stock radiator myself, I went aluminum aftermarket to good effect.
Granted, I have a stock 2.5 that sees only street use, but at speed it cools extremely well, maybe too well, See thread Three hole aluminum radiator . I'm still waiting for a 90F + day for the final post.

Regards,
John

Honestly an OE would only save maybe $100, yes I know it's not chump change but for a track car I think an aluminum rad is the way to go.

Thanks for all your help guys.
Managed to source a Nissens 2.4TD rad direct from Nissens in Denmark, albeit through the UK importer. Just over $200 and took a week to get here.

Can't wait to get it fitted at the weekend and get the car back on the road.

I have that in my car. It should be a big improvement but will require some modification to the sheet metal in front of it. Also the fan mounts and the top radiator hose need modification.
