Radiator Suggestions for Blue Porscheru, Will the Scirocco radiator really work? Options

[R_u_dd]

I ordered a Scirocco style radiator for my Subaru 2.5 NA conversion. It measures approximately 20" X 11" X 1.5" and is a double pass. The stock radiator measures 13.38 X 27 X 5/8". The scirocco radiator has more surface area if I consider that it is a double pass and twice as thick ie 440 square inches versus 361 square inches. Am I safe to assume that the scirocco (though smaller and thicker) will have the same or better cooling power as stock?

I think It will work fine as long as it is properly ducted and sealed.

I'm running a Celica GTS rad on my conversion. It fits the trunk space better and is about the same height. Check out the last few pages of my build thread for pics.

Good design Konzept, or does your license plate mean Kids inept?? Just a joke no offense.

Is that the 916 bumper in fiberglass?

Also, where did you come up with those headlights. I think I saw somewhere in another thread that they are cut from another car. Was that also the Celica? I suppose that I could find that in your thread as well. Do you know what page that would be on?

Its a modified GT bumper from QRS. I raised the cut out 2" to better fit my oil cooler.

Headlights are modified 240sx units. Cut down on all 4 sides and fiberglassed underneath, brackets mount to stock holes. Not one angle matched the 914 so I made a template and cut them down to size/shape. The lights are not in my build thread. I think there is another thread about headlights that has info. But it was a couple years ago.

Celica rad is single pass but works really well. Yours should work well with the Subie engine as well. I used mine as it was less work and a cleaner install on the shroud.
