suby install has a heart beat, but still on life support Options

well i tried to start the car tonight but it would not, first the battery in the car is basicly shot. i had to jump it from my truck and it was turning over but not starting.

after playing with it for a couple of hours i got the check engine light to come on, which is a good start because it lets me know the brain is working, and i can at least plug an obd2 tester in to trace what ever problems there are. heres the rub i dont own a obd2 tester, does anybody on the east coast in pa md or nova have one i can borrow?

or some place very cheap that i can get it in a day or two

TIA

i was thinking about having a custom-made radiator mounted horizontally under the engine lid (mine is a homegrown double-grilled, GT-style) with two 20cm diameter fans on the radiator and a shroud that will run all the way to the bottom of the car, where there will be a large scoop. thanks

first i will say there is a lot of people who think my set up wont work for cooling, because my rad is in front of the motor. second, 2 20 cm fans works out to 2 5 inch fans, i am running one 1400 cfm 12 inch fan, for idle and stuff. secondly years ago on the bird board there was a big debate wither the engine lid was at a vacumn or at pressure ( not much of either ), so i dont now how well it would work, because there is no forced flow ( not fan forced ) through the engine lid. a few people have put oil coolers and ac condesors there, but then that was IIRC with the engine fan pulling air down.

as for pics put my name in the search with suby as the word you are looking for, and it should turn up many pics, if it pulles up too many other words to use are radiator, and welding
