I am doing a Subaru conversion, and am looking for the best proven cooling system.
I have seen the Renegade Hybrid kit, worth the cost??? I have also seen some refer to Desert hybrid, are they still even around or doing 914 radiator kits, and if so are they any good? So many factors like, front trunk radiator set ups, or rear truck set ups? The angle of the radiator in the front truck, straight up against the front saving trunk space, or sitting back further and angled, or even in the floor of the trunk? Also with the air flow, big cuts in the wheel wells, or many holes in the wheel wells, or venting through the trunk floor, or through the hood with the air going up, what is the best way for the air flow without taking from the vehicle structurally? Pictures would be nice, or even something that may show the step by step process from start to finish with the cooling system install/fabrication. |
