Cooling Issues

[super_s13]

I want to buy a alloy radiator

Problem is i need a r32 radiator as that is the car and i need the mounts to line up but will the hoses line up on a rb25det?

Basically i need one but need to know if i can use a r32 one on a rb25det engine or if i need different hoses etc.

ALso what kind of Thermo fans are you all using. I really need to sort this over heating issues out bare in mind i am in Darwin and the temps up here are around 36 most days with around 80% humidity. it gets hot and my engine hit 105degrees alot.

Any suggestions would be great

i use AU ford fans they are awesome

they amount of air they pull is crazy and the shrouds they come with fit with a little bit of triming

if your after a pair i might have a spare set here

pictures of this said pair. Do you know if i can use a r32 radiator for the rb25det or not.

Does the rb20 and rb25 have the same outlets in the same places

[Dahtone Racing]

the RB series radiators outlets are the same if not very similar

i would get the R32 one and if you have an issue with hoses make something up to fit (its a very simple job)

ill see if i can find the fans and take a pic for you

Yes you can use an R32 radiator if you have a 25 in there, R32 GTR radiator fits too.

Also keen on pics of your thermo setup Dahtone

here's a pic i found on the net

same fans just with a different radiator

Is that shroud the stock AU shroud? looks pretty damn good!

[Dahtone Racing]

hahaha yep just trimmed up to fit

that's why i use em

awesome unit great shroud and two fans (one is a two speed fan too)

yeah those fans are nice, i would love to install some but my car stays cool enough,

as your in darwin aswell, i would suggest your get a 19row oil cooler, it will drop your water temp 10 degrees

so that and a alloy radiator should drop your water temp down below 85

[super_s13]

yeah i got one on the way. Just needed to order the radiator and now i know it will fit i shall do so tonight.

If your interested I brought a set of el i think ford fans same twin thermo setup but couldnt get em to fit in my gtr with minor trimming they would have fit a 32 radiator okay just wouldnt clear the power steering

Am in darwin and could probly yank the radiator too if ya were keen to check one out as motor is coming out anyway

In darwin so pm if ya wanna look reckon there was an alloy 32 radiator on boostcruising Darwin section recently it mighta sold already though
