Default RADIATOR?


THIS WAS MY FIRST BUDGET SWAP, AND I CANT AFFORD A NEW RADIATOR. WILL I HAVE TROUBLE USING THE STOCK CX RADIATOR WITH A GSR? I KNOW I SHOULD REPLACE IT, BUT WILL I BE OK FOR A WHILE? SHOULD I REMOVE THE THERMOSTAT FOR THE TIME BEING? THANKS

No. Unless your current radiator is damaged and/or decrepit . . .

Should be just fine, and it doesn't hurt that it's middle of the winter either.lol A stock del sol rad works pretty good for any swap, and can usaully find one cheaper than an aftermarket unit.

the del sol dual core from autozone is great upgrade for a non B-series motor...in my experience, the neck ports where the radiator hoses connect are too small for the B series hoses, it's next to impossible to get them not to leak
