I am interested to know who has fitted an alloy radiator and au thermos. How have you found this set-up to your previous set-up. There is alot of tech stuff on this application but nothing too recent during this hot summer.

Not too sure about the alloy radiator, but I have twin AU thermos fitted to a 4 core triple flow radiator and no matter the situation, it will not overheat.

With the AU fans have you got them wired in together so when they come on they both work. Cant you make them go slow or fast.

just fitted high flow thermostat ,big alloy rad and twin au fans and it still gets bloomen hot , not sure what to do now , engine is new with no blockages , using filter which has caught a fair bit of crap
gilmer belt driven water pump , thinking about putting in the electric ive got and seeing what it does

gilmer belt drive wouldn't be helping ya.

pinkbits · 12-31-2005, 05:51

Agreed. The ratio's not very good.

I'd fit the electric water pump and use the gilmer for the alt, just have 2 get a smaller belt. With my old TD with a healthy 302w I ran a moroso 12v motor then changed to a Davies Craig EWP (at that time they only had the 80L/min) and modified the std water pump, alloy radiator and 16" fan, ran ok but still got hot. Now Davies Craig make a 110L/min i'll be using one of these with my new 393 single turbo TC Cortina project but I think grouting the block will help me the most. Well with water temp anyhow oil temp will come up though

but easy fixed.
All the best. It's a true pain in the ass when they don't run at a nice temp
