Three core radiators in stock configurations...

[Chris W]

We have established contact with a radiator manufacturer that is willing to make limited quantities of our TII/TIII/TIV stock units. We would need a minimum of 10 units per application to be ordered to consider having these made up. We will be incorporating some or all of the following upgrades:

1. Three cores instead of the standard two. This will provide enhanced cooling while only increasing the thickness by 6 mm.
2. Higher fin count for optimum cooling.
3. Built in engine/transmission oil cooler.
4. Temperature sensor ports for monitoring

If anyone would like to see additional upgrades please chime in and let us know.

These will be manufactured using original units as models to insure all mounting provisions, intercooler attachment nuts, fan nut clips, facory clearances (ie. alternator), etc. will be included. They will be constructed of aluminum. Target price will be approximately $300. each plus shipping. These can be built in about 3 weeks from ordering.

If you are interested in more then just one application we have designed this poll to allow multiple selections. We included what we thought would be the most popular model radiators in the poll. Some vehicles in the poll may use the same radiator. Please post if you would be interested in a model not listed.

We look forward to everyone's feedback on these new products.

wouldn't you benefit better from a dual tube larger oval vs. a triple core?
just a thought
Great idea, how you can pull this off

[Frank]

So this would bolt in, but look more like a traditional aftermarket type of radiator?

[GLHNSLHT2]

Shelby lancer is the same as Gbody early style isn't it? You can leave the tranny cooler out of them all IMO

Yes it is.

[Turbo3Iroc]

Would these be full width or accomidate a stock cooler?

You forgot minivan gen1&2 I bet Simon would go for it and others too!

So far the only upgrades the manufacturer offered is the triple core. We can try to run others by them but we are concerned about space limitations with the L-Body. Also, we are trying to keep these affordable for everyone.

A mold would be made from the original tanks. The only visual difference will be the 6mm thicker core.

These would be designed after the factory intercooled vehicles.

You forgot minivan gen1&2 I bet Simon would go for it and others too!

We will be focusing on the intercooled vehicles first and may decide to take on other vehicles in the future should there be a demand for them.

Thanks for all the responses so far. Keep them coming....

Thanks Bakes but I think my oil cooler will fix all my ills,

What are you making them out of?

If I needed one, I wouldn't want the coolers installed-they take up precious space, they can leak and most if not all run external products which are far superior, 5 speeds never had coolers anyhow.

[Directconnection]

Not sure if I know how many applications you are making, but instead of a G body T-II, then a G-body T-III, and G body T-IV, will they just be G body rads, L body rads, and the hard to find.... P-body rads?

[rx2mazda]

i would buy one for my Spirit.

[black86glhs]

There we have it. G, P, L body radiators that fit the stock intercooled setup. No trans cooler.
I like it.

[sdac guy]

The T-IV rad for either the Shadow or Daytona is nearly impossible to get anymore. The two are different than any other 1990 radiators and different in width from each other. 1990 was the first year the intercooler mounted to the rad the way it does and it acts as the left most radiator mounting support.

The book listing and what IS stocked at online stores is the radiator for the 2.5 T1 and n/a application. Even though it states it is correct for the intercooled setup, it is not.

I just went through this with my VNT Daytona after SDAC-18 last year. If you need measurements I happen to have a spare 1990 Daytona rad and a used 1990 Shadow rad (both for the VNT intercooled).

I don't need one now, and I know the economy sucks so you likely don't want a bunch of these on the shelf, but it would be great to know a part like this is available.

[jl93sundance]

I wouldn't want a tranny cooler built in especially for how small t2 rads are to begin with. What type of price range are these going to run?

[moparman76_69]

I'd be in for a J-body, I also vote for no trans coolers.

[Directconnection]

There we have it. G, P, L body radiators that fit the stock intercooled setup. No trans cooler.
I like it.

See Barry's post. Not all G body rads (and P-body for that matter) are the same.

So, one G body radiator won't fit all 3 styles of T-II, III, and IV stock intercoolers.

[iTurbo]

I'd buy one for a Spirit R/T. Not sure if they are the same as the later G-body like the IROC R/T? Can anybody confirm?

[Chris W]

We currently have and are comparing an '86 L-Body, '87 P-Body, 89 J-Body TII car radiators. We also have a '90 VNT Daytona and '87 Shelby Lancer which is currently unapproachable due to an active behive nearby. We called the pest control and they should be out here by next week at the latest. I would like to get this going as soon as possible though. If anyone has a 90 VNT Shadow, 90 VNT Daytona, TIII Spirit R/T or TIII Daytona radiator out of their car please send off a couple of pictures to me at Chris@turbosunleashed.com. Please get a shot of all 6 sides and lay a tape measure across the core (height and width), mounting nuts, posts, heater hose ports, etc. so we know how far they are from the end. Barry, I figured you would be busy with SDAC preparations. If you have time to dig them out and take a few pics it would be great.

As mentioned earlier the target price would be around $300.

Thanks!

I know that, but those guys would just be SOL.
