Radiator mod

[scoupe]

hey guys, i wanna ask is there any adverse effect of placing the radiator in front of the condenser? that means the fan will be on the condenser.. i want to get new radiator and am thinking of placing it infront due to the current setup the exhaust manifold is just cm's away from the radiator..

could be done but is the sufficient space?
need alot of fabrication for radiator mountings.

yea there is space.. will am just wondering is there any disadvantage of doing so..

Aircond not cold as b4...

dude care to explain y? is it due to the hot air is gonna be blowing thru the condenser?

 

[Dayline668]

Yes.. hot air will make the condencer hotter, aircond less cold. Compresser n fan will work more harder caused shorter life span. Conderser is design to put infront for a reason, all car the same. If u wan colder water temp, use good coolant n remove thermostat, in malaysia weather no problem without the thermostat.

do i dont plan on running without thermostat.. it was placed there to get the car up to operating temp as soon as possible to minimize wear.. so yea i need other suggestions in order to keep it at optimum temp :) currently due to it being so close to the extractor if it idle's too long with the aircond on the temp will start to raise.. currently the old one is in pretty bad shape.. well i guess if i cant place the new one in front then will have to put it back as the same place..

Malaysia no snow n u mention it close to extractor then will warm up quick, after try remove dun like then put back with a sport thermostat lo... no harm done.
