hi i was just wondering what radiator you guys are using on your ef hatches.... i tried to install an eg single core tonight and there was alot of bending of the front crossmember to be done.. so i jsut stopped to get some imput... im going to be using a drag gen 3 manifold and to4e... wasnt sure what would cool good enough... thanks guys.. mostly guys with stock front crossmember!!

 

help ef people!!

 

Doing the EG radiator in an EF, you'll ahve to make up some brackets. It should be pretty simple, without cutting or bending up the radiator support.

 

i have an eg... doesnt fit for **** unless you let it hang way back... kinda looks dumb like that

 

did you ask the question in the EF section?

 

I am running an EK SI radiator, but I built a custom front crossmember and hung the radiator down in front of it so it fits in the stock location.

You have to cut the radiator support, its ment to fit into an eg, not an ef. Therefore you need to cut, if done right it looks stock.

 

i did ... how are you expecting the hood to close? atleast my hood wouldnt clear... im just goign to fab up a tracton bar setup and hang the son of a bitch down low

Hood closes well, he does have a carbon fiber hood but if you look at the hoods, thats where they actually bend over. Its not that hard really

 

Get a grinder and cut some **** until it fits. It's been done about 34543 million times. It's actually quite easy.

The powers with in, remember to never talk to you in person though, you could think evil things and change me into a toad.

 

hmm... wish i had a plasma.. might take a while with my **** grinder and my 10gallon air tank lol...

 

An air grinder with a cut off should take care of it, or go buy an angle grinder from harbor freight for $10

 

how good do your eg rads and fans do?

I thought you already had the radiator ? If you do it right, the crossmember does not have to be cut at all.

 

what do you mean? what would i change then? and yes i have the rad but its used... i would rather get a new one..

 

You cut the radiator support, then drop it down. The only time the crossmember was cut when I did it, was if the drain plug is in the way

 

hmm.... that seems easier i guess... how much do i need to cut out? jsut like 1/2inch?

 

About that, maybe an inch or 2
